Tarsiers are small primates found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines, Borneo, and Sumatra. They are known for their large, round eyes, which help them see well in the dark, as they are primarily nocturnal. Tarsiers have long fingers and toes that allow them to grasp branches easily as they leap from tree to tree in search of insects and small animals to eat.
These unique creatures are part of the Tarsiiformes order and are considered one of the oldest primate groups. Tarsiers are social animals, often living in small family groups. Their distinctive appearance and behaviors make them a fascinating subject for researchers and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
