Tarsier

Tarsier:

The Philippine Tarsier is one of the world's smallest primates, known for its distinctive large eyes and ability to rotate its head nearly 180 degrees. Native to the Philippines, it primarily inhabits the forests of Bohol, Leyte, Samar, and Mindanao. These nocturnal animals are highly specialized insectivores, feeding mainly on insects, but also small vertebrates. The Philippine Tarsier is known for its keen night vision and excellent leaping ability, which helps it navigate its forest habitat. Conservation efforts are crucial for this species due to habitat loss and other human-induced pressures.
