Mindanao Treeshrew

Les Scandentiens (Scandentia) sont un ordre de petits mammifères placentaires au mode de vie arboricole. Ils possèdent une longue queue en général touffue. Ils présentent des caractères qui ont longtemps dérouté les zoologistes dont certains les rapprochent des insectivores et d'autres des primates.

The Mindanao treeshrew (Tupaia everetti), also called the Philippine tree shrew, is a species of treeshrew endemic to the Mindanao region in the Philippines. It was formerly considered the only member of the genus Urogale, but that genus was merged into Tupaia when the species was found to nest within the latter genus in a molecular phylogeny. The scientific name commemorates British colonial administrator and zoological collector Alfred Hart Everett.
