| | A Visit to the Philippine Tarsier |
 | | But don't let this disillusion you, the Philippine tarsier is still a very special animal, well worth a day trip while you're on Bohol, and for some it is even the reason for their trip, and with an average 130 grams for an adult Philippine tarsier, it is still one of the smallest primates... |
 | | On Bohol, this little creature is known under a lot of names, often different from town to town, some of these local names are "mamag", "mago", "magau", "maomag", "malmag", and "magatilok-iok". |
 | | I already had been in Bohol several times, but unfortunately never had been able to meet the tarsiers -- we actually had been at the sanctuary a few years ago, only to find it closed, but during this trip, we were determined to go and see them. |
