Habitat. In New Guinea occurs in grassland, scrub, lowland rainforest, and foothill forest at altitudes from sea level to 1200 m, occasionally to 2100 m; found also in generally drier and more disturbed habitats than other species in genus. It occupies similar habitats in Australia, but occurs there also in coastal closed heath and extends into drier country along gallery forest, from sea level to 800 m. May rest in logs or under leaflitter in sheltered sites in a similar manner to that of other peramelids, but present species also shows considerable propensity to construct burrows. In Australia, burrow complexes may be 50 - 80 cm deep, cover up to 3 m? in area, and have two or more entrances.
