Occurs in sluggish or standing water in canals, lakes, and swamps . Inhabits waters with submerged aquatic vegetation . Usually found only in deep pools in rivers and occasionally in lakes. Enters flooded forest . Carnivorous and subsists on fish, frogs, snakes, insects, earthworms and tadpoles . There are reports of this species taking water birds, snakes, and rodents. Males are territorial. May bite when caught (Elliot Bligh, pers. comm., 2001). Relative length of gut is 0.82, animal matter is 100% in the gut content .
