Behaviour

Galagos communicate to each other in a variety of ways. They can make many types of vocalisations including clicks and loud cries. They also use scent signals to communicate, such as urine washing, where the galago will spray urine on its feet to spread scent along the path it moves. Galagos also use visual signals such as tail movements to communicate. Galagos engage in a mixture of social play, such as grooming and play-fighting, and more solitary behaviour.

The brown greater galago often lives in small family groups of around 2-6 individuals. During the day, the group will sleep gathered in the same area. At night, the adults from the group will go foraging for food.

The galago's gestation period is about 133 days and it usually gives birth to a litter of 2 or sometimes 3 young.
