It occurs in moist evergreen broadleaf forests, temperate forests, coniferous forests, scrub forests, rocky areas and mountain peaks.This species is solitary, arboreal, active and vocal animal. Capable of gliding a long distance between the trees. At rest it folds the flying membrane close to the body. Feeds on tree buds, leaves, bark saps, young branches and various fruits and nuts. Mating is believed to occur twice a year and the young are generally born during March-August. Usually 2-3 young are born per litter.

This species occurs in denuded mixed evergreen tropical and subtropical and broad-leafed forests. It is active at night and sleeps in tree-holes or a shady place of a tree during daytime. It glides from tree to tree in search of food. Feeds on fruits, seeds, barks, sap and resin, and tender leaves and shoots. When asleep it puts its head under the body just like Bengal Slow Loris. It breeds during the rainy season and lays one young in a tree-hollow.

It is known to prefer sugarcane and soyabean fields in the northwestern parts of the country. It is nocturnal and fossorial.

It is partial to human habitations and crop fields nearby. House Mouse lives in and around human habitations, grain stores, market places, commercial centres, office complexes, old motor launch, passenger steamers as well as crop fields and stored grain house. It is apt in running, climbing trees, swimming and walking. It can live anywhere inside a house which is sparingly used. It is a prolific breeder and the babies mature in just one month. It is an omnivore and breeds all year round (Khan 1987).

The species has been found at community households and upland crop fields. The species is also found at bamboo and mixed forests.

It is found commonly in the embankments or the plot dividing land boundaries along irrigated fields or patches of thorn scrub on the edges of cultivation lands. It Iives in small burrows, under roots or stones, dug by itself. It is nocturnal and fossorial. Feeds on vegetables, seeds and also on insects (Aplin et al. 2008).

It is found in tropical and subtropical dry deciduous forests, tropical grasslands, irrigated croplands and grasslands with gravel, agricultural lands, water courses, embankments, dry rocky hills (Molur et al. 2005). It lives in pairs or small colonies in self-dug out burrows. It can reproduce throughout the year (Kamruzzaman 2009).

The species has been found at community households and bamboo forests.

It lives in villages with heavy wooded areas and dry crop fields, plantations and in all forest ecosystems having dry grounds. It is terrestrial, fossorial and seeks shelter in caves or in its burrow during the day. The species makes extensive burrows, depending on surrounding soils, with multiple chambers and many exists. Lives solitary (Menon 2004) or in groups of 2-4 individuals including parents. Diet includes mainly vegetable material of all kinds, including fruits, grains and roots (Prater 1980). It occasionally forages on carrion (M.A.R. Khan pers. comm.). It also chews on bones, in search of minerals (such as calcium) that help its spines grow (Gurung and Singh 1996, Prater 1980). The species utilizes both natural plants and agricultural crops as food sources (Schlimme 2000). Gestation period is 240 days (Gurung and Singh 1996). Brood size varies from 2-4 offsprings per year (Prater 1980). Young are born with their eyes open, and the body is covered by short soft quills. The Indian Porcupine is usually monogamous, with both parents being found in the burrow with their offspring throughout the year and average life span is 27.1 years (Schlimme 2000).

It occurs as solitary, in pairs or in small family groups. Mainly arboreal, but rarely comes to the ground. This squirrel is apt in gliding from tree to tree and feeds on soft, fleshy fruits (e.g. Ziziphus, jackfruit), seeds (e.g. tamarind), shoots, buds and leaves. It makes its drey in tree hollows. In each litter 2-3 young are born. The squirrel is found in mixed evergreen forests, montane forests, oak and rhododendron forests (Duckworth et al. 2008). Populations can be found in primary forests as well as secondary, degraded forests and scrubby habitat. It is nocturnal and almost purely arboreal.
