was observed either foraging or resting in crevices of basaltic rock formations along the slopes of a vast mountain plateau (T. Thackeray, unpublished data). Some individuals were found to share the same crevice. Crevices and holes contained rainwater. Mountain plateau is exposed to strong wind and heavy rainfall during the monsoon, but remain quite dry during rest of the year. Therefore, moist crevices of the natural rock formations might be the hiding place for this species in adverse conditions.
