Assessment rationale/justification
Khan (1985) reported that M. javanica might possibly occur in Bangladesh, even though there are no sighting records of the species in Bangladesh. Besides, Husain (1974) listed the species for the country without giving any locality information. Its presence in Bangladesh seems unlikely (WCMC et al. 1999). Thus, this species has been categorized as Data Deficient.

M. javanica can be found in a variety of habitats including forests, thick brush, grasslands, and cultivated areas such as gardens and rubber plantations (CITES 2000). It is primarily nocturnal, solitary and especially feeds on ants and termites. It is a good climber, its prehensile tail adept it well in climbing in trees to get access to termites and ants in tree holes.

Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
Bangladesh, India and Nepal. Old record suggests it was distributed up to Sal forests of central part of the country. In the 1800s and early 1900 the British based at Dhaka used to hunt it for sport and eat its flesh. They used to call it 'Black Rabbit'. Its present status and distribution are not known. If present, it might be restricted to Garo Hill areas or it has been totally wiped out from the country (Khan 1985, 2015).
