Field Notes
Description:
Due to its rarity and only relatively recent rediscovery, virtually nothing is known about this species in the wild. Captive individuals are apparently omnivorous, feeding on bananas, strawberries, romaine lettuce, earthworms and newborn mice, but hunters have reported that vegetation, fruit, and mushrooms constitute the bulk of the diet in the wild.
Habitat:
Terrestrial
Freshwater
This species occurs in evergreen, deciduous and bamboo forests, usually near permanent and intermittent streams
