Pel’s Anomalures are nocturnal and spend the day asleep in tree hollows or hollow branches. Nests include sticks and small branches. Sharing of dens by up to six individuals suggests that abundance might be strongly influenced by local availability oftree holes. One Pel’s Anomalure was found a hollow of

Primary social organization of Pel’s Anomalure consists of a female and her single offspring, but there are records suggesting that up to six individuals can be found together in a sleeping tree hollow. When disturbed in their den, they are known to make several noises including growls and hisses; they snap their teeth, greatly amplified in the tree hollow. Contact calls of Pel’s Anomalures are described as deep hoots. These sounds may deter predators including birds of prey, primates, small carnivores, and hornbills (

) that may compete for nest holes. Bold color of Pel’s Anomalure suggests that aggressiveness and large size may make it less vulnerable to predation than smaller species of anomalures. Likely predators include African harrier-hawks (Polyboroides typus), crowned eagles (Stephanoaetus coronatus), hornbills, snakes, and African Palm Civets (Nandinia binotata). 2
