<strong>Mgambo</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong><br />
Otolemur garnetti (Small eared galago), which was also seen and heard frequently around<br />
basecamp in an area of riverine forest on the reserve border; Otolemur crassicaudatus (Greater<br />
galago), a species typically known to inhabit open Miombo-type woodland, indicating it’s<br />
presence on the Miombo ridge tops of <strong>Mgambo</strong> FR and, lastly, Petrodromus tetradactylus (Fourtoed<br />
elephant shrew). All of the nocturnal species identifications were verified by Andy Perkins, a<br />
visiting Galago expert, with an extensive knowledge on other nocturnal species.<br />
There was also much evidence of grazing by domestic livestock, goats and cattle. This is a<br />
problem within the reserve.<br />
