It is also recorded in the Atlantic Forest region (Guedes & Marques 2011). It apparently inhabits arboreal and bushy caatinga (semi-arid lowands) to humid forest next to Atlantic Forest and in relictual highland forests (Handam & Lira-da-Silva 2007; Guedes & Marques 2011). It was said to occur in cerrado and arboreal caatinga in highlands of the Diamantina Plateau ( Freitas & Silva 2007) . It has semi-arboreal habits, is diurnal and feeds on lizards and mammals ( Marques et al. 2001).
