This nocturnal animal diet consists of insects, mice, reptiles, frogs, birds
and eat fruit.
They are only found all over the subcontinent. They hunt on the ground
but are good tree climbers as well and prefer to sleep in holes in tree trunks
during daytime. Where there are no trees around they'll sleep in holes in
the ground.
