- Forest edge, canopy gaps, fruiting trees, or shaded trails where cover and food meet
- Protected habitat blocks within madagascar in northeastern lowland regions.
Tips spotting
- First light and late afternoon are often best, when animals come out to feed along the edge of water.
- Work edges, clearings, fruiting trees, and stream crossings rather than walking randomly through dense cover.
- Slow down and scan shapes, outlines, and eye-level silhouettes; many good sightings come from noticing what does not move.
