Some will inhabit tropical rainforests or scrub forests and others live on savannahs, grasslands and in woodlands. Many also live in mountainous regions up to 9,000 feet. They feed on a wide variety of plants and animals. Each subspecies has different dietary preferences. The season can also impact on their diet as some foods increase in volume during the spring and summer.  Their diet includes fruits, berries, nuts, leaves, stems, seeds, bark and many more.
