Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: It has been collected in primary rainforest, although a few specimens have been collected from slightly degraded forest. They are most common along ravines and rocky stream terraces in mesic shaded areas. It is strictly terrestrial and feeds primarily on small vertebrates (e.g., small frogs and lizards), fruit and earthworms.
Systems: Terrestrial
Generation Length (years): 1-2
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The major threat is likely to be loss of habitat due to clearance of habitat for agriculture and logging. No extant specimens have been collected from the lowlands of the south west peninsula, partly because most of the original forest has been removed (the species once occurred in the deforested areas as represented by subfossils) but also because remaining tracts of forest in the region have not been adequately surveyed.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: It is present in several protected areas, including Lore Lindu National Park.
