Night monkeys are the only truly nocturnal monkeys

They have a varied repertoire of vocalisations and live in small family groups of a mated pair and their immature offspring.

During the daylight hours, night monkeys rest in shaded tree areas. These species have been observed exploiting four different types of tree nests, monkeys will rest in; holes formed in the trunks of trees, in concave sections of branches surrounded by creepers and epiphytes, in dense areas of epiphyte, climber and vine growth and in areas of dense foliage.

Night monkeys represent a territorial species, territories are defended by conspecifics through the use of threatening and agonistic behaviours.^[19] Ranges between night monkey species often do overlap and result in interspecific aggressions such as vocalizing and chasing which may last up to an hour.

The night monkey is socially monogamous, and all night monkeys form pair bonds

The male is the primary caregiver, and the mother carries the infant for only the first week or so of its life.

. Adults will occasionally be evicted from the group by same-sex individuals, either kin or outsiders.^[25]

Foraging during the night when it is cooler, and when there is less competition, supports the optimal foraging theory; maximize energy input while minimizing energy output.^[28]
