Horsfield's treeshrew ( الإنجليزية )

المقدمة من wikipedia EN

Horsfield's treeshrew (Tupaia javanica), also called Javan treeshrew, is a treeshrew species within the Tupaiidae. It is endemic to the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Bali, Java and Nias where it inhabits foremost primary forest.[2]

It was first described by Thomas Horsfield in 1822.[3] Several subspecies have been proposed based on variation in colouration; however, colour is an unreliable distinguishing character.[4]

Behavior and ecology

Horsfield's treeshrew eats fruits and insects while mostly consuming arthropods.[5] It plays a significant role in ecosystem as it controls insects and spreads plants seeds. Horsfield's treeshrew has a special ability to adapt to the agroforestry system.[6]
