occur throughout the year, with a noticeable peak in January. Infants, juveniles, and lactating females are seen on Mount Kupé in March-April, and parked juveniles are seen in Korup in early April. One (sometimes two) young are born per year after gestation of 133 days. The mother carries the infant in her mouth for the first six weeks. Sexual maturity occurs at 8-10 months. Copulation may be preceded by urine marking of the substrate by both partners. A male mounts a female in a dorsoventral position; he engages in a copulatory lock that can last for an hour. Individuals can live up to twelve years.

Males are mainly solitary and live in home ranges of 2:8-3-6 ha. Females occupy home ranges of 0-06-3-4 ha. Groups of two to seven females are associated with one central male. Home ranges of central males overlap those of several females. Females are somewhat more gregarious than males, and their home ranges overlap. There is evidence of matriarchies. Male—female relations are stable throughout the year and are maintained by frequent contact (50% of the time throughout the night). Males emigrate at puberty; females continue to sleep with their mothers. Hollow trees are preferred sleeping sites. Liana tangles are favored for resting and parking young. Individuals forage by night among small vertical supports in the undergrowth, and they sleep by day in one of several favored hollow branches or in specially built nests located near the tops of the tallest trees. Males sleep alone, and females sleep in groups of 3-6. Because they cannot tolerate exposure to sunlight or heavy rainfall, their sleeping places are invariably sheltered. Regular vocal contact is kept among conspecifics when they are dispersed. These contact calls also help in species identification. A harsh, low-frequency croak is used for long distance contact and is common to all squirrel galagos. Long whistles given as single units or in phrases of one to six descending units characterize this species. Variations on this call are used for contact, spacing, cohesion, and mild alarm. Whistles and “kwoks” are also uttered.
