Large treeshrew
The large treeshrew (''Tupaia tana'') is a mammal species of the family Tupaiidae. It is found on Sumatra and adjacent small islands, as well as in the lowlands and hills of Borneo.〔Payne, J., Francis, C. M., Phillipps, K. (1985). ''Field guide to mammals of Borneo''.

==Habitat==
Large treeshrews are the most predominantly terrestrial of all treeshrew species. They are usually on the forest floor, the primary location for their foraging, although they spend part of their time in trees.〔Yasuma, S., Andau, M., Apin, L., Yu, F.T.Y., and Kimsui, L. (2003). ''Identification keys to the mammals of Borneo: Insectivora, Scandentia, Rodentia and Chiroptera''. Park Management Component BBEC Programme, Sabah.〕 ''T. tana'' has been described as mainly terrestrial based on field observations and their morphological traits.〔Emmon, L. (2000). ''Tupai: a Field Study of Bornean Treeshrews''. University of Carlifornia Press, Berkeley, Los Angeles.〕〔Wells, K., Pfeiffer, M., Lakim, M. B., and Kalko, E. K. V. (2006). ''Movement trajectories and habitat partitioning of small mammals in logged and unlogged rain forest on Borneo''. Journal of Animal Ecology 75(5): 1212–1223.〕〔〔Sargis, E. J. (2001). ''A preliminary qualitative analysis of the axial skeleton of tupaiids (Mammalia, Scandentia): functional morphology and phylogenetic implications''. Journal of Zoology 253(4): 473–483.〕 Large treeshrews are most abundant in primary tropical rainforest, but are also found in swamp forest and secondary growth forest. ''T. tana'' has many potential predators such as the marbled cat, leopard, and clouded leopard.
Large treeshrews contribute to maintenance of their lowland rainforest ecosystem by dispersing seeds.
