Philippine Monkey
The Philippine Monkey, commonly referred to as the Philippine Tarsier, is a small primate native to the Philippines. It is known for its large eyes, which provide excellent night vision, and its ability to rotate its head almost 180 degrees. These nocturnal creatures primarily inhabit forests and are known for their agile leaping abilities, allowing them to catch insects and small prey.
The Philippine Tarsier is a unique species, classified under the family Tarsiidae. It plays a crucial role in the ecosystem by controlling insect populations. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect its habitat, as deforestation and habitat loss pose significant threats to its survival.
