Are Thick Tailed Bushbabies territorial and to they actively defend their territory?

Both sexes are territorial and usually forage alone. Males hold territories of about 0.2 sqkm and females about 0.07 sqkm. the range of a male territory may cross those of several females. Territories of neighbouring males do not overlap, but during the non breeding season subordinate and juvenile males will be tolerated in the dominant territory of another male. Female home ranges generally overlap, with females tending to remain within their home range. Males are likely to move annually. It has been observed that Thick Tailed Bushbabies, both male and female, will actively defend their territory by tackling each other with their fists and vicious bites. Their fights often end in death to one of the animals. they show aggression towards any intruder or any form of danger by cocking their ears, staring with wide eyes, open mouthed baring of the teeth and growling and spitting. They may also rear up on their hind legs with raised hands, ready to grab and bite.
