In general they live in mated pairs, with a home range of about 10,000 square metres.

Travel distances each night are between 100 m (330 ft) and 1 km (0.6 mi), making this a relatively inactive species.

[4] Red-tailed sportive lemurs travel in these pairs because it can be difficult for a male to produce roaming strategies and move farther away from the homeland.

Therefore, they typically pair up with only one female for reproduction, hence their “partner.” Additionally, these Lemurs don't typically have a strong early warning system, making it difficult for them to warn others or send a signal.

Instead, they have grown to develop strong escape mechanisms for them to flee danger.
