treeshrew meaning
ENWTreeshrew
- The treeshrews (or tree shrews or banxrings) are small mammals native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. They make up the families Tupaiidae, the treeshrews, and Ptilocercidae, the pen-tailed treeshrew, and the entire order Scandentia.
- Though called 'treeshrews', they are not true shrews – though they were previously classified in Insectivora – and not all species live in trees. Among other things, treeshrews eat Rafflesia fruit.
- Among orders of mammals, treeshrews are closely related to primates, and have been used as an alternative to primates in experimental studies of myopia, psychosocial stress, and hepatitis.
