摘　　要：Tupaia belangeri,as a typical tropical species,has high value in biological research.It has the characteristics of small body size,high brain to body mass ratio,short reproductive cycle,short lifespan,and low maintenance cost.In biomedical research,experimental animals considered as substitutes for primates.This review discusses the systematic classification,distribution,and research progress of Scandentia.Emphasis was focus on the research progress,developmental status,and basic biological research in T.belangeri.Believing that the T.belangeri,as the closest species to humans,has many advantages as an experimental animal,and it can be further widely applied in human disease research.Therefore,how to create a clear and stable strain of T.belangeri with a clear genetic background is crucial for the development of the national economy and scientific research.
