Potto
The name
potto refers to several species of
African primates in the genera
perodicticus and
arctocebus. They have a vestigial tail and index finger. The snout is pointed and the ears and eyes are large. The coat is dense, brown and wooly, and spiky protrusions from the spine come through the skin at the base of the neck. Pottos are tree-dwelling omnivores, and weigh about 3 pounds.
