		The tarsiers are the members of the Tarsius genus of prosimian primates, monotypic in the Tarsiidae family and Tarsiiformes infraorder.
		Evidence for the position of Tarsier in the primate tree came for example from retrotransposon presence/absence data.

		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.

	Tarsier
		Tarsiers use their toenails as well as saliva to groom themselves, and clean their face by rubbing it against branches.
		Tarsiers come out at night to hunt for their favourite meal, which consists of just about any kind of insect, including ants, grasshoppers, moths, beetles, cockroaches and scorpions, but they will also eat lizards, bats, snakes and birds.
		Tarsiers have sticky pads on their long fingers that enable them to grasp struggling prey while closing their eyes to prevent them from being harmed.

	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".

		We walked through virgin rain forest, listened to the rich sounds of the jungle, glimpsed the hornbill flying overhead, and spied upon fl macaque monkeys as they made their evening camp in the treetops.
		At dusk we were led to a huge strangling fig tree with a hollow interior where we met, at point-blank range, the Tarsier monkey.
		The Tarsier is terminally cute, strongly reminiscent of the friendly version of the little monsters in the movie "Gremlin." For me it was very much worth the two-hour drive and steamy jungle trek to see them face-to-face.
