[4] This species is predominantly concentrated in the South East Asian regions of Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Java, Thailand, Sumatra and Borneo.

It inhabits mainly lowlands, marshes, rocky surfaces with holes and crevices, dens, farms and trees.

[1] Its dark grey skin is largely hairless, but may have some fine patches of hair around the throat and under hind foot.

Sometimes these secretory glands have sub maxillary pouches located either inside the ears or beneath the neck region used for 'brooding' and 'nursing' purposes.

[6] It possesses a broad face, robust jaw, wide wings and protruding tail that is longer than the hind limb.
