Description
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial [1].
Ecology:
This species inhabits dry deciduous lowland forest
and can be observed
even in degraded patches. It appears to prefer forests with a lower
canopy
height
and more lianas than those inhabited by M.
murinus,
and also uses tree
holes
less often than that of other species. (Ref.
287027).
