Abstract
Social behavior of Tupaia has intensively been investigated in captivity (Vandenbergh 1963, Kaufmann 1965, Sorenson and Conaway 1966, 1968, Martin 1968, Sorenson 1970, Hasler and Sorenson 1974, Richarz and Sprankel 1978, Richarz 1979). So many behavioral studies in captivity are due apparently to an interesting phylogenetic position of the Family Tupaiidae which belongs to either the Order Primates or the Order Insectivora.
