The large tree shrew lives in forests on Borneo. It searches mainly for invertebrates on the forest floor and digs into the soil with its claws.
Its back is dark brown and its underside reddish orange, with yellow shoulder stripes and a black stripe down the back. Its bushy tail is relatively short.
It does much of its foraging on the ground, digging with its claws and probing the topsoil with its snout for invertebrates.
