Mohol bushbabies are small primates with enormous eyes, built for night vision in the African woodlands where they hunt insects and tree gum.
They’re social, living in family groups, sleeping together in nests during the day, grooming each other, reinforcing bonds that keep them safe.
At night, they split up to forage, but they stay in vocal contact—chirps and calls that say I’m here, I’m okay, we’re still together.
Mothers carry their infants in their mouths when they need to move quickly, and when the young are old enough, they’re watched over by the whole group, not just their mother.
You don’t have to do it alone. The way you stay connected, the way you check in, the trust you build that lets you venture out knowing someone will still be there—it’s what makes the dark less frightening.
Stay wild,
