Description
It spends from pre-dawn to mid-morning and mid-afternoon to just after dusk browsing in forest areas, moving over a large distance looking for preferred food items. After dusk they move to grassy areas, to graze, either in forest clearings on on the forest edge. They never move far from cover and return to the forest before dawn. When moving to and from grazing sites, they follow ‘tunnels’ made in forest undergrowth and grass. They move along these runways at a rapid pace, hopping on the hind legs with the tail held out stiffly behind. Once grazing or when browsing, it moves slowly with a pentapedal action or a bipedal hop. They rest periodically by sitting with the tail between the legs, leaning back on a rock or tree and sleep from mid-morning to mid-afternoon in a similar position but slump forward to rest the head on the tail or on the ground between the legs.
