ANIMALS - MONKEYS

Tarsier

 

Tarsiers are small animals with enormous eyes; each eyeball is approximately 16 mm in diameter and is as large as its entire brain. The unique cranial anatomy of the tarsier results from the need to balance their large eyes and heavy head so they are able to wait silently for nutritious prey. All tarsier species are nocturnal in their habits. Tarsiers tend to be extremely shy animals. Although the group was once more widespread, all the species living today are found in the islands of Southeast Asia.
