The Nicobar treeshrew (Tupaia nicobarica) is a treeshrew species within the Tupaiidae. It is endemic to the Nicobar Islands where it inhabits the islands' rain forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. Although previously listed as an endangered species, the Nicobar treeshrew is now commonly found in its appropriate habitats. The Nicobar treeshrew was first described by Johann Zelebor in 1868.

Habitat

The Nicobar treeshrew only occupies the Indian Islands of Great Nicobar and Little Nicobar and can be found on the highest points of these two islands, 640 m above sea level.
