Also like other Bushbabies, it is communicative, with two main means of communication: urine and vocal. The former is spread on its hands to transfer to branches to find its way back in the dark and is used to indicate ownership, including of territory and of females by males. The later is used for social contact, to warn of predators or aggression, and as a rallying call at the end of the night to gather the group at a communal sleeping area (branches, nest of leaves or tree hole).
