Diet
Mohol bushbaby predominantly feeds on fruits, insects, and tree gum. This nocturnal species selectively eats small, soft fruits and particular insects, especially beetles and moths, alongside acquiring essential nutrients from the tree gum.
Appearance
The mohol bushbaby is a petite, nimble primate with a soft-furred, slender body. Their vibrant large eyes are a distinctive feature that accents their pale grey coat and aids in their nocturnal lifestyle. A bushy tail, nearly twice its body length, provides it with balance. There's no significant difference in appearance due to age or gender within this species.
Behavior
Mohol bushbaby is nocturnal and arboreal, adroitly moving through treetops in search of insects. It uses its large eyes and acute hearing for successful foraging at night. Typically solitary, or in small family groups, it marks territory by urinating on hands and feet to leave scent trails. Notably, it communicates through diverse vocalizations, from clicks to shrieks.
