What is the maximal age a Mindanao treeshrew reaches?
An adult Mindanao treeshrew (Urogale everetti) usually gets as old as 11.5 years.
Mindanao treeshrews are around 55 days in the womb of their mother. When born, they weight 20 grams (0.04 lbs) and measure 12.9 cm (0′ 6″). As a member of the Tupaiidae family (genus: Urogale), their offspring is 1 babies per pregnancy. Fully grown, they reach a bodylength of 19.5 cm (0′ 8″).
As a reference: Usually, humans get as old as 100 years, with the average being around 75 years. After being carried in the belly of their mother for 280 days (40 weeks), they grow to an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″) and weight in at 62 kg (137 lbs), which is obviously highly individual.
The Mindanao treeshrew (Urogale everetti), also called the Philippine tree shrew, is a species of treeshrew endemic to the Mindanao region in the Philippines.
