Eating Chili is comparable to Sichuan girls.
Tree shrews mainly live in tropical and subtropical forests, bushes and villages. They look like squirrels. Therefore, most city residents think it is a squirrel, while villagers call it a "shit rat". This annoying name comes from the habit of tree shrews stealing fruits, vegetables and even eggs.
Tree shrews are similar to squirrels in appearance, but they are actually closely related to primates. In a sense, this rodent is a relative of human beings. It is observed that tree shrews like to eat Chili, which is different from other mammals' behavior of avoiding spicy food. Not long ago, a research team from China discovered the reason why tree shrews love spicy food.
The researchers first put the tree shrews in cages and then fed them peppers. They found that tree shrews not only don't refuse peppers, but also like them very much.
Not only eat spicy food, but also drink.
Besides eating peppers, tree shrews also like drinking. In 2008, a group of German scientists discovered a drinking tree shrew in the tropical rain forest in southern Malaysia.
Tree shrews like to suck liquid from a plant called Eugeissona tristis, which contains alcohol similar to beer. Although the liquid content is very low, tree shrews drink a lot almost every day. After drinking, they can still keep their heads clear and the aisle will not bend.
Researchers speculate that this tree shrew started drinking 55 million years ago, much earlier than the history of human drinking. Of course, they are not particularly looking for wine to drink, but the nectar alcohol content of their staple food is higher, which is similar to that of a bottle of beer.
