Frequents forests, and Blanford records that it has been observed at considerable elevations. But in the Sunderbans it frequents swampy ground and E.H. Peacock records a fondness for low lying swampy ground. Sterndale (1884) records one at an altitude of 4,000 feet and describes it as ?more of a forester'. It would seem from the above that the species can make itself at home either in low lying swamp or hill forest (though not as dense or as hilly forests as D.sumatrensis)
