tree shrew
A tree shrew is a small, squirrel-like mammal belonging to the family Tupaiidae, found predominantly in Southeast Asia, including the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, and Sumatra. They are not true shrews and are not all arboreal. They mainly feed on insects, fruits, and seeds, and are known for their quick, agile movements. Tree shrews are significant in the world of scientific research because they have a similar brain structure to humans, making them valuable in neurological studies.
