Résumé
Around Brazzaville (Congo), the Dwarf galago Galagoides demidovii is not always a solitary animal. Its «nests» are often built in «clusters» and from 1 to 5 individuals can spend the day together in such shelters. Adult pairs can be found in the wild outside the breeding season, and adult males and females can be accompanied by subadults of the same sex. In captivity, adults can be kept peacefully together and huddle when sleeping.
