Habitat - Found in a range of habitats, from rainforests to open woodland. They require forest with suitable den sites such as rock crevices, caves, hollow logs, burrows and tree hollows. They have a large home range and can cover more than six kilometres overnight.

Excrement - Scats have a curly, rope-like appearance and a natural musky odour.

Dens - Fallen logs, burrows and tree hollows make suitable dens. Rocky crevices and caves offer better protection and may be preferred.
