	Tarsier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tarsiers (family Tarsiidae, genus Tarsius) are a genus of prosimian primates, previously classified as strepsirhines, but now classified as haplorhines, though still not considered to be monkeys.
		Once found in Asia, Europe and North America, tarsiers are now only found on several Southeast Asian islands including the Philippines, Sulawesi, Borneo, and Sumatra.
		When caged, some Tarsiers have been known to injure and even kill themselves because of the stress [1].

		Tarsiers are voracious and eat up to 10% of their body weight each day.
		The tarsier’s eye structure clearly indicates that it had a diurnal ancestor; it has a focusing point in the retina known as a fovea which is useful only in daylight.
		Tarsiers are usually found in family groups (based on a stable pair bond) or by themselves.

		It is also found in the western tarsier in Borneo, southern Sumatra, and Bangka; and the spectrak tarsier in Celebes and Peleng.

	Tarsier born in captivity in Sarangani (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Philippine Tarsier (Tarsius syrichta) was declared on June 23, 1997 as a "specifically protected faunal species of the Philippines" under then President Fidel Ramos' Proclamation 1030.
		The birth of the baby Tarsier came exactly a week after Constantino placed the two nocturnal creatures (head and body length around 4 to 5 inches, their tails about twice longer) inside a 1.5 foot by 2.5 foot wood and bamboo cage covered by fl nylon net.
		It is not certain as yet if the Tarsiers found in Sarangani are of the same species as Bohol's Tarsius syrichta, a subspecies of it, or of another species found in Sulawesi, Indonesia.

		All Sulawesi tarsier populations that are not classified in one of the latter four taxa are classified as T. spectrum, but like other Sulawesi mammals, tarsiers probably have an allopatric species distribution that conforms to the island's geometry and offshore islands, and T. spectrum is, therefore, something of a wastebasket taxon.
		The article stated that tarsiers were not sought after as pets, and that farmers did not consider tarsiers to be a threat to their crops.
		Tarsiers are 100% faunivorous and do not eat any plant matter at all, in the wild or in captivity, and they certainly do not eat crops.

	Lorises, Pottos, Galagos (Bush Babies) & Tarsiers
		Tarsiers belong to the family Tarsiidae and an entirely different superfamily, the Tarsiodea.
		From that perspective, several scientists have recently concluded that tarsiers should be classified in their own superfamily, Tarsiodea, separate from both monkeys and apes (superfamily Anthropoidea) and lemurs, lorises and galagos (superfamily Lorisoidea).
		Tarsiers are particularly interesting since they appear to be intermediate between the lemurs and monkeys, being classified in their own superfamily, "Tarsiodea".

		The female reticulated python lays a large number of eggs and incubates them by coiling around them and "shivering." These muscle contractions maintain her body temperature at 10 to 12 degrees above the surrounding air temperature, which helps the eggs to develop.
		Endemic mammal species include marsupials like the peleng cuscus and dwarf cuscus, as well as primates like the crested macaque, moor macaque, and booted macaque.
		The lowland anoa, spectral tarsier, and babirusa are also among this ecoregion’s interesting endemic mammals.

		Whereas the two cuscuses have Australasian affinities (i.e., the Peleng cuscus [Phalanger pelengensis] and dwarf cuscus [Strigocuscus celebensis]), the remainder of Sulawesi's mammals have Asian origins, including the crested macaque (Macaca nigra), moor macaque (M.
		ochreata), lowland anoa (Bubalus depressicornis), spectral tarsier (Tarsius spectrum), and babirusa (Babyrousa babyrussa) (Flannery 1995).
		The crested macaque, moor macacque, and lowland anoa are considered endangered (IUCN 2000).
