Abstract
The skin of the pigmy bushbaby (Galago demidovii), the smallest existing prosimian, is largely similar to that of the other African Lorisidae, although this animal has certain peculiar features. The very thin epidermis contains alkaline phosphatase‐reactive dendritic cells which resemble those in the other bushbabies and the potto. The hair follicles of this animal are similar to those of the lesser bushbaby, while the sebaceous glands are different from those of the other bushbabies in being reactive for alkaline phosphatase. The histological and histochemical properties of the sweat glands are similar to those of the other bushbabies.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
