The Tarsier is a small primate found primarily in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines, Borneo, and Sumatra. Known for its large eyes, which are adapted for night vision, the Tarsier is a nocturnal creature that primarily feeds on insects and small vertebrates. It has a unique ability to rotate its head almost 180 degrees, allowing it to spot prey without moving its body.
Tarsiers are characterized by their long fingers and toes, which help them grasp branches as they leap between trees. They are social animals, often living in small groups, and communicate through a variety of vocalizations. Despite their small size, Tarsiers play an important role in their ecosystem as both predators and prey.
