Stable Moholi bushbabies live in small family groups. Females and their young form the core of these social groups. Juvenile males leave their natal group to find a new group. They are nocturnal creatures, spending much of the day sleeping. They aggressively defend their territory from other bushbabies. They are preyed on by large birds, snakes, mongooses, civets and genets. They protect themselves from predation by nesting in tree holes, mobbing up to use numbers to their advantage and being active at night.
