The Palawan treeshrew (Tupaia palawanensis) is a species of shrews sometimes considered a subspecies of T. glis. This genus originated in Philippines,[1] where on the Palawan Island it is found from sea level to 1,400 m above sea level.[1] The population tendency for this species is steady.[2] Also, native concentrations differ among similar areas.[2]

Habitat and ecology

This species occurs in jungles rich with fresh water and rivers.[1] It also can be found in agriculture or farming zones, for example, cashew and coconut farms, brushy regions, and logged-over areas.[1] No threats to this species are known.[2]
