 "A. trichotis" seems to confide in live or dead fallen trees for its nesting and sleeping sites; usually in a hollow located within the trees.Observations show that the lemurs tend to build nests with a deep layer of straw or leaves and since they are exclusively nocturnal, they spend their days sleeping in the same tree hollow and cover themselves with the straw or leaves.The lemurs become active as soon as it becomes dusk and they remain active until the very first sign of light in the morning.
