Lifespan Veterinary and zoological studies show that galagos live for approximately 12 to 16.6 years in captivity. Based on this, their lifespan in the wild is estimated to exceed 10 years.

Their life span is ap­prox­i­mately 10 years in cap­tiv­ity, but is prob­a­bly no longer than 3 to 4 years in the wild.

Bush babies are primates that live in Africa. They are sometimes called lesser bush babies, galagos, or nagapies. Bush babies are nocturnal and spend most of their time high up in a canopy of trees. They’re omnivores that eat fruit, insects, tree gum, and sometimes small animals. Bush babies have a lifespan of over 16 years in the wild.

Maximum longevity 16.6 years (captivity)

Although it has been argued that these animals live up to 18.8 years [ 0610 ], record longevity in captivity is 17.1 years [ 0671 ].
