When i first heard the term bush babies, i could not think of a family portrait of george w Bush and his grandchildren. These things honestly do look like living cartoons. They are also called galagos or nagopies, which means little night monkey. And they're related to lemers and lourises, so they have those huge, like hub cap eyes. I'll ca back to tool use. There's some m chimp communities that will do termite at will use tools to do termite fishing, and others that use different tools for ant fishing. So they all do it slightly differently, which means it's learned within that community and it's passed down again.
