It is found in the forest floor of the rainforest as it is mice and crawls on the floor. It is an omnivore and feeds mostly on plants and leaves that fall from the emergent and the canopy layers.
It is 25 cm long and weighs less than 8g which is quite surprising for such an animal that looks quite heavy.
