Genus Arctocebus is a taxonomic genus of primates that is commonly referred to as the "Angwantibo". The Angwantibo is a small and arboreal primate that is primarily found in the tropical forests of West and Central Africa. The species is known for its large eyes and ears, as well as its unique tail structure, which is prehensile and can be used for grasping branches and for balance. The genus is sometimes referred to as the "Taketombo" in Japanese. Other synonyms include "Potto" and "Tree Shrew", though the latter is somewhat misleading as they are not shrews at all. Regardless of the name used, the Genus Arctocebus is one of the most interesting and important primate genera in the world.
