A bush baby, or galago, is a small, squirrel-like animal related to a monkey.

It’s modeled after the galago, or Senegalese bush baby — a tiny primate with powerful legs that can leap meters into the air.

It still can't compete with the galago, but that's a 56 percent improvement on the ability of the next best robot.

It achieves 78 percent of the galago's vertical jumping prowess.

They drew most of their inspiration from a small nocturnal primate called a galago, or, more commonly, a bush baby.
