Habitat:
This species is forest-dependent, occurring in primary and secondary forests and small garden clearings. The home range is about 1-1.5 ha. It uses holes in the ground. It is often associated with small streams. Females give birth to one or two young.
Range:
This species occurs in the upper hill to upper-montane forests throughout the central mountain chain of the island of New Guinea (Indonesia and Papua New Guinea). It has been extirpated from the Hunstein, Schrader, and the Torricelli ranges, and probably the Adelberts (L. Salas pers. comm.). There are fossil records from the Vogelkop and from the Arfak Mountains. It occurs from 800 to 3,200 m asl.
Conservation:
This species occurs in several protected areas, and in the YUS Wildlife Conservation Area where it is common. Numbers have stabilized and may be increasing in no-take zones within the YUS.
