(CNN) Deep in the Angolan jungle, scientists have discovered a new species of primate thanks to its booming voice. The size of a squirrel (around six inches long without the tail), the Angolan dwarf galago is a kind of bushbaby, a small primate family scattered all over sub-Saharan Africa. "We follow them at night, and whenever they make their calls we record them," says Magdalena Svensson, one of the primate researchers on the trip. "This new galago species is a very exciting discovery," Russell Mittermeier of Conservation International said in a statement. The Kumbira forest lost more than 5% of its tree cover between 2001 and 2014, according to their latest data set.
