Description
Habitat
Ecology:
Field
observations suggest that this species inhabits lowland and
montane
forest
and is primarily nocturnal
. It has been found in secondary
forest, but it is not known whether or not it can adapt to secondary
habitats
outside forest. Very little information on its ecology or
behaviour is available at the present time.[1].
List of Habitats:
- 1 Forest
- 1.6 Forest - Subtropical/Tropical Moist Lowland
- 1.9 Forest - Subtropical/Tropical Moist Montane [more info]
