Dendrogale murina
The Northern Smooth-tailed Tupaia is a small mammal from the order Scandentia. It lives in trees in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and actively searches for food during the day.
The Northern Smooth-tailed Tupaia differs from other tupaia species by its smooth tail and small size. It is important for nature because it eats harmful insects and helps spread plant seeds.
