The scale compares the named dimensions. View direction and measurement points are given for each animal.
The potto is a nocturnal inhabitant of African tropical forests. It travels steadily along branches, using a strong grip with hands and feet.
It eats fruit, plant exudates and invertebrates. Flexible joints and circulatory adaptations allow prolonged gripping without rapid fatigue. Dense canopy cover matters greatly for safety.
It usually feeds alone. By day it rests concealed in vegetation, while scent helps communication with others.
