Digestive strategy of the south-east African lesser bushbaby, Galago moholi.
TL;DR: It is argued that, because it is soluble polysaccharides in exudates travel with the fluid phase of the digesta, reach the hindgut sooner than particles of the insect exoskeleton, and are fermented faster than particulate Digesta, that lesser bushbabies, in spite of their small size, are able to include an apparently low-quality food (exudate) in their diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Digesta retention in the gastro-intestinal tract of the orang utan ( Pongo pygmaeus )
TL;DR: The morphology of the gastrointestinal tract of P. pygmaeus suggests that the capacious proximal colon is the principal site of digesta retention and fermentation of non-starch polysaccharides, consistent with a large complex gastro-intestinal tract.
