TARSIER WORLD'S SMALLEST PRIMATE

MEET THE TARSIER OF THE PHILIPPINES! Fossils of tarsiers and tarsiiform primates are found in Asia, Europe, and North America, and there are disputed fossils from Africa, but extant tarsiers are restricted to several Southeast Asian islands including the Philippines, Sulawesi, Borneo, and Sumatra. They also have the longest continuous fossil record of any primate genus,and the fossil record indicates that their dentition has not changed much, except in size, in the past 45 million years. Tarsiers are prosimian primates of the genus Tarsius, a monotypic genus in the family Tarsiidae, which is itself the lone extant family within the infraorder Tarsiiformes. Although the group was once more widespread, all the species living today are found in the islands of Southeast Asia. PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO AND ENJOY THE SHOW!

Tarsiers Mating Bohol Scandal

While on vacation in the island of Bohol in the Philippines. These guys just couldn't help but get into it. Its just unfortunate that these primates which are on the endangered species list are definitely exploited. These lady tourist couldnt just keep their mouths shut so these guys could have a moment. The Philippine Tarsier (Tarsius syrichta; also known as mawmag in Cebuano/Visayan) is an endangered tarsier species endemic to the Philippines. It is found in the southeastern part of the archipelago, particularly in the provinces of Bohol, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao, Philippines.[3] Its name is derived from its elongated "tarsus" or ankle bone.[4] Its geographic range also includes Maripipi Island, Siargao Island, Basilan Island and Dinagat Island.[2] Tarsiers have also been reported in Sarangani, although they may be different subspecies. Believed to be about 45 million years old,[5] and perhaps one of the oldest land species to continuously live in the Philippines, it was only introduced to western biologists in the 18th century.[6]
