Tree Shrew

Tree Shrew 2

Reaching lengths between 8 and 16 inches, half being bushy tail, the tree shrew closely resembles the common squirrel. Like humans they have cartilaginous ears that are well set back. They have pointed shrew-like noses and fairly large eyes. The fur is thick and soft, red, grey or brown in colour. Tree shrews are found from India to China, Malaya to Borneo and the islands of the Philippines.
