Aus dem Inhalt:
Historically, C. cataphractus was widely distributed throughout West and Central Africa, but recent surveys suggest that its distribution has changed as a result of local extirpations. While relatively little is known about the ecology of the species, it appears to prefer forested rivers and other densely vegetated bodies of water (i.e. reservoirs and freshwater lagoons), but has also been found in sparsely vegetated, gallery habitats within savannah woodland.
