Habitat:
C. nanilla is found in a variety of dry and moist savanna habitats, and might be a savanna specialist.
Range:
This species has been recorded from both West Africa and East Africa, and presumably ranges more widely between the known records. In West Africa, it has been recorded from Mauritania, The Gambia (at Sapu), Senegal, Mali, Sierra Leone (Mount Loma) (Grubb et al. 1998, Hutterer 2005). It has also possibly been recorded from Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana (Pinkwae) and Nigeria, but the identity of these animals is unclear and they are not mapped here. In East Africa, it has been recorded from Uganda (the type locality is probably Entebbe), Kenya and Tanzania (including Ngorogoro) (Hutterer 2005).
Conservation:
There are no direct conservation measures in place for this species. In view of the species presumably wide range, it seems probable that it is present within some protected areas. Additional studies are needed into the taxonomy, distribution, natural history and threats to this species.
