eyes open and can cling to their mother's fur right away. In literature The Calabar angwantibo, along with its close relative the potto, makes an appearance in Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey–Maturin novels. Stephen Maturin acquires a Calabar angwantibo on his travels and becomes 'absurdly attached' to it. The search for an angwantibo is also a minor focus of Gerald Durrell's first book, The Overloaded Ark.
