Bush baby and the potto are close relatives of the lemur. With its large round eyes and big ears, the bush baby is one of the cutest animals of the African bush.
Its very large eyes are adapted for night vision, and during the day, its pupils contract so as to be almost invisible. When the bush baby goes hunting at night, the pupils expand until they are completely round. Bush babies feed on gums, insects, fruit and vegetables.

I noticed an error in this one. It says that when the bush baby goes hunting at night twice, but it says two different things happen.

How innocently cunning they look!
Comparatively big eyes for them to have much bigger pupils at night really support them to be smart nocturnal hunters. Good info!
Well, um... one question, don't mind, please:
Are you big-eyed or not? :)
