It is an animal of solitary and nocturnal habits, spends the day hidden in vegetation or inside a hollow tree. It is very good climbing and very agile in trees. Their diet consists of rodents, small primates, birds, insects and reptiles. Its ecological importance lies precisely in this: to control populations of mammals and small bird which eats.
