The Angwantibo is a rare animal, which looks like a cross between a kitten and a Bushbaby. The name may have originated from a West African word "Angwan," meaning "cat."

One subspecies has soft, thick fur which is yellowish or fawn in color, with whitish under-parts. The other is generally golden-red, with grayish under-parts. The Angwantibo lives in Africa, between the lower Niger and Zaire Rivers. This agile animal lives in tall trees, is active at night, and little is known of its habits.
