Habitat:
This species is found on cactus-covered slopes and in contiguous areas with short vegetation and little topographic relief; the southern populations inhabit floodplains and relatively flat areas bordered by mesas and hills. It uses burrows that are not located under vegetation. The species apparently possesses a high affinity for flat land and a lack of tolerance for cultivation. It is nocturnal. Young are born during several months of the year, but the peaks appear to be in winter and spring (Best and Lackey 1985).
Range:
This species occurs in north-western Baja California, Mexico (Patton 2005).
Conservation:
This species protected by Mexican law (Norma Oficial Mexicana NOM-059-ECOL 2001).
