Habitat
Liomys salvini reaches its greatest abundance in a geographic range that is mostly semiarid tropical lowland forest. It is a nocturnal species that lives in a variety of niches, including underground and in bushes, trees, rock clusters, and log shelters, but is most commonly found in brushy, weedy fields that provide shelter to its burrows and protection from predation.
