Techotic

Oh my! I’d never thought anyone could out drink me, but the Malaysian pen-tailed tree shrew looks like it could drink me under the table. A new study by researchers at the University of Western Ontario found that the tiny animal subsists on a diet roughly equivalent to 100 percent beer, subsists entirely on fermented nectar from the pertam palm plant, which can be as high as 3.8 percent alcohol. Even though, these tree shrews drink like there’s no tomorrow, amazingly, they don’t seem to get drunk.
