Thick black eye-rings are continuous with the black on the sides of the muzzle. There is a thick white stripe running from the forehead to the rhinarium. Skin of the long rounded ears is black. The tail is drab brown, darkened or even blackish on the terminal one-third, including the tip, and it is long and bushy with hairs of 20-25 mm.

. It is a faunivore-frugivore, supplementing insects and birds with fruit in the denser part of the understory at heights of 6-10 m above the ground. It has been seen clinging to tree-trunks, head-down, and eating exudates. Stomachs of sacrificed individuals have contained fruits, flowers, and insects. In 1983, R. Smithers reported seeing them congregate around mist nets and chewing off heads of birds caught in the nets.

is a solitary forager (90% of nighttime observations), but groups of up to six individuals have been reported sleeping in a tree hollow. A male’s territory (2-3 ha) overlaps those of one or two females (each c.2 ha). Most communication is with loud advertising counter-calls that are exchanged between conspecifics during the first two hours after sunset and last two hours before sunrise. These calls seem to be related to departing and gathering from the sleeping site. Sleeping sites are located 3-5-5 m off the ground and comprise tree holes, green leafy self-constructed nests, or nests made from twigs and lianas. Such sites are shared with as many as five conspecifics of mixed sex, other galago species (the Rondo Dwarf
