Description
Habitat
Ecology:
This is a montane
species which occurs in montane grassland and moorland
in the afro-alpine zone. At lower elevations
this species is limited
by the lack of suitable habitat
due to the conversion of natural
vegetation to agriculture.[1].
List of Habitats:
- 4 Grassland
- 4.7 Grassland - Subtropical/Tropical High Altitude [more info]
