I believe the answer is:
bushbaby
(Other definitions for bushbaby that I've seen before include "Small, nocturnal, tree-dwelling primate of Africa with large eyes" , "Small animal" , "Small African lemur, like shrubbery infant" , "Big-eyed, long-tailed African primate" , "Small African nocturnal primate with large eyes" .)
