averages about 22 days. Reproductive activity in the Kirindy Forest begins in October-November, with estrus signaled by a swelling and reddening of the female’s genitals. As the female approaches sexual receptivity, males begin to follow her closely, occasionally performing a sniffing behavior. Social grooming of the female by the male takes place during estrus. A copulation plug forms in the female’s vagina after mating. Gestation is 86-89 days. Normally two infants (occasionally one and rarely three or four) are born each year. Infants are able to leave the nest at about three weeks. The mother carries them in her mouth for the first several weeks and parks them in vegetation when she forages. After three months, the young forage alone but maintain vocal contact with their mother. Females are sexually mature at one year. An individual reportedly lived for 15 years and five months in the London Zoo.

is nocturnal and arboreal. Individuals normally leave the nest around dusk, at which time they begin feeding or selfgrooming, or continue resting. On cold nights, they leave the nest later in the evening and return to it earlier in the morning. Travel and foraging usually occur at canopy heights of 5-10 m, although these animals do go to the forest floor occasionally. During the latter half of the night, they are more likely to be involved in social activities. While they frequently return to the nest for the second half of the night during the cooler winter, they remain active year-round and do not enter torpor.

have been conducted in the Beroboka, Kirindy, and Marosalaza forests just north of Morondava. Home ranges of 1-4 ha overlap extensively, and all individuals seem to make heavy use of smaller core areas, which they defend aggressively. Male home ranges tend to overlap those of several females and other males. In the Kirindy Forest, male home ranges more than quadruple during the mating season. Males interact positively (i.e. social grooming, contact calling) with females when they make contact, and pairs travel together for short periods even during the dry season. Coquerel’s Giant Mouse

is typically solitary when foraging, and it does not nest communally. It spends its daytime hours in a spherical nest of up to 50 cm in diameter, usually placed 2-10 m high in the fork of a large branch or among dense lianas (to discourage predators). Nests are constructed of interlaced lianas, branches, leaves, and twigs chewed off from nearby trees. Only females and their offspring share nests. Each adult uses as many as 10-12 nests (although usually onehalf of them are in disrepair) and changesits sleeping site every few days. Densities reported from Marosalaza are 30-50 ind/km?, but they can also be as high as 210 ind/ km? in forests along rivers. A density of 100 ind/km?® has been recorded in the forests of Tsimembo, while 120 ind/km?® occur in Kirindy Forest. The latter population underwent an inexplicable decline after remaining steady for several years.

is somewhat threatened by loss of habitat and is occasionally hunted for food by locals. Nevertheless, it appears to be adaptable because it can survive in secondary forest and occurs in fairly high densities in some parts of its distribution. It occurs in Tsingy de Bemaraha and Zombitse-Vohibasia national parks and Andranomena Special Reserve. It also occurs in the Kirindy Forest (part of the Menabe-Antimena Protected Area) and Ampataka Classified Forest.
