life

When they are not spending their time on trees the species can be found hidden away in empty hollow logs or under bushes during the long winter months. During the winter they do not exert a lot of energy and live off of the brown fat that is stored in their bodies. During the warmer seasons they eat anything that they can find including lizards, insects, leaves, and other plants. They climb trees to get access to different leaves and insects but also roams the grounds in search of food. Their life in trees is mainly for them to be hidden away from any predators that lurk around. That is why the species is most often seen climbing trees and hanging onto branches. Although the species can be seen as a solitary one after they hit sexual maturity, once a family is formed they tend to stick together as social creatures and protect one another. Usually huddling together in dens or logs during the cold winter months to keep warm. Most of their life outside of the den is spent eating or looking for food and caring for their offspring.
