	BBC - History - Cook, Tupaia and Maori (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Tupaia, the legendary leader of the Polynesian island of Raitea, was brought to meet Captain Cook during the early part of his first voyage, while the Endeavour was moored near Tahiti.
		For his part, Tupaia was eager to embark on a journey of exploration to new places and, like his ancestors before him, to learn about new modes of adaptation and survival.
		Tupaia, although focused on the personal and community benefits he might acquire through the voyage, had talents and skills of leadership that were soon made obvious as the journey progressed, not only in navigation, but also, on arrival in New Zealand, in mediating between the Maori and members of Cook's crew.

		Tupaia told Cook of exploration, discovery, and migration to rival the accounts of Europe’s boldest adventurers, but with a striking difference: The Polynesians staked their claims across the open sea instead of land.
		Tupaia’s map, redrawn by Cook and later by other members of the crew, places seventy-five islands in the Polynesians’ ocean realm, with Tahiti at the center.
		Tupaia died on the voyage back to England and Cook was killed in Hawaii a few years later.

	Comparative Placentation
		Similarities in tarsal morphology suggest that tupaias, together with primates and bats, originated from the 'archontan stock' of placental mammals which first developed the capability of living in trees (Szalay and Drawhorn, 1980; Adkins and Honeycott, 1991).
		Hormonal control of pregnancy shows striking similarities between tupaias and humans (Schwaier et al., 1976; Elger and Hasan, 1984, unpublished): The course of serum progesterone levels in early (days 12 to 15 p.c.) and late pregnancy (days 35 to 40 p.c.) suggests a luteo-placental shift of progesterone secretion around day 20 post conception.

	Common-place: Pacific Travelers
		Tupaia was a respected figure in the Society Islands and something of a virtuoso.
		Tupaia, though, created a lasting impression on Maori communities and it was the great priest, rather than Cook or Banks, who was most persistently asked after when voyagers stopped by.
		Tupaia was of help in northern Australia, when he was able to establish a trusting relationship with the Guugu-Yimithirr people.

	CCSU - The Circumnavigation of New Zealand by Richard P. Aulie
		Tupaia gave the name "Oheitiroa" to the small island they skirted four days later; this was the present Hiti-roa.
		Tupaia was credible, but Cook was resolved instead to follow his instructions and continue standing south into uncharted seas in search of the great southern continent.
		A number of the sailors had fallen sick; Tupaia came down with a stomach ache; and the supplies of fresh food were dwindling.

		Life span data of 12 to 14 years for one species, Tupaia belangeri, are based on sufficient observations to be considered reliable.
		Tupaia glis is very similar in appearance to T. belangeri and may have a similar life span, but data are clouded by confusion in identification between the two species.
		Tupaia tana has been observed to live for five years and Ptilocercus lowii for two years and eight months, but the limited number of observations make these values questionable as maximum life spans of these species.

		Tupaia guided Cook 300 miles south to Rurutu, a small Polynesian island, proving he could navigate from his homeland to a distant island.
		Cook was amazed to find that Tupaia could always point in the exact direction in which Tahiti lay, without the use of the ship's charts.
		Sadly, Cook was never able to learn and document Tupaia's navigational techniques, for Tupaia, and many of Cook's crew, died of malaria in the Dutch East Indies.

		Tupaia was an able navigator through regions of the Society Islands, and proved a great asset in meeting peoples in New Zealand.
		The Tahitian priest Tupaia was able to converse with the Maori natives, but he determined they were not friendly and Cook's men must be constantly on guard for their safety and for their effects.
		In the bay he found native peoples (Tupaia could understand nothing in their language), plenty of firewood, good water (eventually), swampy and sandy shores, and many sting rays in the water.

		A tree shrew is a small, squirrel-shaped mammal found in forested areas of India, southern China, southeastern Asia, Indonesia, and parts of the Philippines.
		About 15 species--10 typical tree shrews of the genus Tupaia; the Indian tree shrew, Anathana; the smooth-tailed tree shrews, Dendrogale; the Philippine tree shrew, Urogale; and the small, pen-tailed tree shrew, Ptilocercus--make up the family Tupaiidae.
		Some zoologists classify tree shrews as primates because of their relatively large brains, eyes in orbits surrounded by bone, and other features; others classify them with shrews and moles as insectivores.
