is rare in cultivated areas. It is most often seen in the understory (1-2 m above the ground), where it prefers vertical supports. Individuals rarely go to the ground but may forage there in heavily shaded forest with an open floor and numerous lianas and tree trunks.

is mainly frugivorous-gummivorous (73% fruit from stomach content analysis). It supplements its diet with young leaves and certain types of wood. Some invertebrates (beetles, moths, ants, spiders, termites, centipedes, and caterpillars), frogs, and snails are also eaten. It catches them by hand rather than by mouth. It rarely goes up to heights of 10 m above the ground when it is hunting.

occur throughout the year, with a noticeable peak in January. One (sometimes two) young are born per year after gestation of c.133 days; the birth weight is 24 g. The mother takes its infant out of the nest when it is a few days old, carrying it in her mouth for the first six weeks. The mother hidesit in vegetation while she forages during the night and carries it back to the nest in the morning. Sexual maturity occurs at 8-10 months. Individuals have been known to live up to eight years in the wild.

Adult males are largely solitary and live in home ranges of 17-50 ha. They are aggressive toward one another and apparently are territorial, each seeking to control a home range that overlaps those of several females, and intense competition may result. Females are more gregarious, living in smaller overlapping home ranges of 3-9-16-6 ha, in which matriarchies are evident. Male—female relations are stable throughout the year and are maintained by frequent contact. Adults of the opposite sex can share the same area, sometimes sleep together by day, and have some contact at night even though they forage separately. Usually a single individual occupies a sleeping site; males sleep alone, but females sometimes sleep in goups of 3-6, two or three adult females, plus their young. Males emigrate at puberty; females may continue to sleep with their mothers. Individuals forage by night among small vertical supports in the undergrowth and sleep by day in one of several favored hollow branches or in specially built nests located near the tops of the tallest trees. Because they cannot tolerate exposure to sunlight or heavyrainfall, their sleeping places are invariably sheltered. As with other squirrel galagos, low-frequency croaking is used for long distance contact. Short, rapid whistles in phrases of 1-10 units, used in the contexts of contact and alarm, are characteristic of the Gabon Squirrel
