What Malaysian animal drinks beer every night as a boozing shrew?
Malaysia’s pen-tailed treeshrew has been a regular beer consumer for millions of years and can drink the average human under the table, say scientists. The small rat sized mammal, which closely resembles our earliest primate relatives, has been found to sup naturally occurring 3.8 per cent proof palm beer every night and has done so generation after generation for up to 55 million years, aeons before humans evolved.
