Habitat. Occupies most habitats from sea level to ¢. 2000 m. It prefers secondary forest, grassland, and garden habitats nearvillages, rather than primary forest, and at higher elevations is restricted increasingly to disturbed habitats. Recorded also as using canegrass thickets, sago swamps, and coffee and banana plantations. Radio-tracking studies show that animals exploitsites with recent tree-falls, fallen fruit, rotting logs, and dense ground-level vegetation for foraging, and use sites on forest floor for nests. They do not have fixed preferences for a particular type of nest; they nest in hollow logs, tree stumps, piles of leaves, and balls of grass, and in shallow, deliberately constructed burrows with two openings that run for up to 4 m below forest floor.
