Philippine Tarsier

Description:

"The Philippine Tarsier measures only about 85 to 160 millimetres (3.35 to 6.30 in) in height, making it one of the smallest primates." "The eyes are disproportionately large, having the largest eye-to-body size ratio of all mammals." "The Philippine Tarsier has thin, rough fur which is colored gray to dark brown. The narrow tail, usually used for balance, is naked or bald except for a tuft of hair at the end, and is about twice the body length. Its elongated "tarsus," or ankle bone, which gives the tarsier its name, allows it to jump at least three meters from tree to tree without having to touch the ground." ~Wikipedia

Habitat:

"The Philippine Tarsier's habitat is the second growth, secondary forest, and primary forest from sea level to 700 m (2,300 ft). Its habitat also includes tropical rainforest with dense vegetation and trees that offer it protection like tall grasses, bushes and bamboo shoots. It prefers dense, low-level vegetation in secondary forests, with perching sites averaging 2 meters above the ground." ~Wikipedia

Notes:

The Philippine Tarsier is the National Geographic spotting of the week by "opzjon". In support to my fellow Filipino, my first upload is the Philippine Tarsier.
