Tupai : a field study of Bornean treeshrews /
Treeshrews are misleadingly named, as they are not shrews and do not live in trees. The authors tracked and studied six species of shrew in the Bornean rainforest, and this text descibes their habitat, nesting behaviour, and other facets of their lives.
