Range and Habitat
It may be divided into two subspecies groups: eastern (A. t. toussenelii and A. t. canescens), found from the Congo basin west to Gabon and southern Cameroon, and western (A. t. macroscelides and A. t. lopezi), found from western Cameroon west to Senegal and on Bioko. It inhabits low-altitude forests, especially rainforests and dense second growth, often near rivers and swamps, including mangroves. It can also occur in plantations, parks, and big gardens. Apparently it does not migrate or wander except possibly for dispersal of young.
The (rather indefinite) boundary with the African Goshawk is in western Uganda and the eastern and southern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Famous quotes containing the words range and/or habitat:
“They didn’t know
how
my heart woke
to a range and measure
of song
I hadn’t known.”

“Neither moral relations nor the moral law can swing in vacuo. Their only habitat can be a mind which feels them; and no world composed of merely physical facts can possibly be a world to which ethical propositions apply.”
