Galagos prefer dense thickets where their food is abundant and where they are safe from predators. In some, a mated pair and their young may sleep together, in others the males only keep in regular contact with females in their territory while they are outside the sleeping nest. Most split up to forage alone . Females may forage in a small group, but males don't forage together. They warn off rival groups with loud calls.
Galagos are territorial, marking the boundaries with scent and by territorial calls.
But other galagos species have different distinctive calls. They also croak, chirp , click, whistle and bark. They have scent glands on their face, chest, arms, elbows, palms and soles. They also scent mark with saliva and urine. They also urine wash, moistening their hands and feet with urine.
