General Characters
• The treeshrews are small mammals native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. • There are 20 species in 5 genera. • They have higher brain to body mass ratio than
any other mammals. • They are not true shrews • They were previously classified in the Insectivora• Not all species are arboreal. • Among other things, they eat Rafflesia fruit.• Treeshrews are closely related to primates, and
have been used as an alternative to primates in experimental studies of stress and hepatitis.

General Characteristics
•Treeshrews are slender animals.•Have long tails and soft, greyish to reddish-brown fur. •The terrestrial species tend to be larger than the arboreal forms •Have larger claws, which they use for digging up insect prey. •They are omnivorous, feeding on insects, small vertebrates, fruit, and seeds. •They have poorly developed canine teeth and unspecialised molars.•Have good vision•Most are diurnal•The Pen-tailed Treeshrew is nocturnal.

Territory• These animals live in small family groups, which defend
their territory from predators. • They mark their territories using various scent
glands, or urine, depending on the
particular species.

Habitat
The common treeshrew (Tupaia glis) is native to – Thailand, – Malaysia and adjacent coastal islands to

specimens are head-to-body length: 170 to 235 mm, • tail length: 170 to 242 mm • hind foot: 45 to 56 mm. • The common treeshrew usually has a pale stripe

Ecology and behavior
• Common treeshrews are active during the day, and forage for food alone or in pairs, mainly on the ground, among shrubs and tree holes.
• They feed on fruits, seeds, leaves, and insects, especially ants and spiders.
• They are also reported to catch lizards.• They climb both large vertical tree
trunks and bushes, and occasionally jump from stems of a young tree to that of another as much as 60 cm (24 in) away.

Threats
• Common treeshrews are threatened due to deforestation and ensuing human activities in agriculture, plantations, and commercial logging.
• Moreover, other pressures, such as hunting for food and sport, can create pressure to the species.

In science• Tupaia glis is being used by researchers as animal
models for human diseases because of their close relationship to primates, and their well-developed senses of vision and hearing.
• Research studies have included hepatitis. • Another instance has been documented where an
individual of Tupaia glis developed breast cancer.
