Do Thick Tailed Bushbabies demarcate their territory?

Both sexes mark their territories by leaning their bodies to one side and urinating over their feet, leaning to the other side and repeating the process. This process is known as urine washing. A urine scent trail is thus left by the dominant male as he moves through his territory. In addition, territories are also marked by secretions from cheek, lip and perianal glands, and also a yellowish, oily secretions from the chest glands.
