Canary endemic
Virtually the whole island of Gran Canaria, East of Fuerteventura. Extinct in the Northeast of Tenerife.
In Gran Canaria, its distribution extends throughout the island, from low altitude areas associated with cardonal-tabaibal and thermophilic forest to the summit. Its distribution covers almost all the habitats of the island, although it does not abound in the pine forests of the Canary Islands, where it is usually restricted to forest clearings. It is also present on the Island of La Palma and in Fuerteventura associated with agricultural areas and small ravines, as a result of recent introductions. (Pleguezuelos et al., 2002)
It can reach 1,000 individuals per hectare. (Pleguezuelos et al., 2002)
