Nature's Sweet Treat - The Mountain Tree Shrew and the Pitcher Plant's Delicious Secret
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness a delightful moment of symbiotic indulgence high up in the misty Montane forests of Mt Kinabalu. Our mischievous protagonist, the Mountain Tree Shrew (Tupaia montana), has discovered nature's very own candy store – the endemic Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes kinabaluensis). With its tiny paws delicately perched on the pitcher's rim, our furry friend savors every drop of nectar secreted by this extraordinary plant. As if drawn to an irresistible feast, these two remarkable species have formed a unique bond amidst Borneo's lush rainforest. The mountain treeshrew is no ordinary mammal; it belongs to an ancient order known as Scandentia. Its agile movements and acrobatic abilities make it a true forest superstar. And what better stage for such antics than the enchanting slopes of Mt Kinabalu? As they dance together in perfect harmony, their partnership becomes even more intriguing when considering that both are endemic to Borneo. This means they can only be found here - nowhere else on Earth! So next time you find yourself wandering through Sabah's wet season or exploring Kinabula National Park during monsoon rains, keep your eyes peeled for this fascinating duo. Witnessing their playful interaction will surely leave you with memories as sweet as nectar from a pitcher plant
