Scientific classification

	Genus Tarsius or tarsiers
		Tarsier The tarsier (Tarsius) is a genus of mammals of the lemur family.
		Tarsius irritatus, like the other tarsiers, is only secondarily adapted to a nocturnal life, having many features much more in common with the anthropoids than with the prosimians, such as its proclivity to start small fires to provide light for itself after sunset.

	ADW: Tarsius bancanus: Information
		Tarsius bancanus is found on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo, and on some small islands adjacent to these large ones.
		This species is found in dense strands of bamboo, jungles, coastal forests, dense vegation, primary and secondary rain forests, shrubs, plantations and even in some settlements and gardens.
		Tarsius bancanus is probably like other members of the genus in regard to these features.

		Miller and Hollister (1921b) designated the specimen as holotype of Tarsius pumilus, included two others collected from lowland evergreen rain forest, and pointed to small body size as one of the diagnostic specific characters.
		Subsequent faunal checklists and taxonomic revisions treated pumilus as a subspecies of the widespread Sulawesian Tarsius spectrum until 1985 when Niemitz advocated recognition of specific status for pumilus based upon the original series and recorded vocalizations.
		Tarsius pumilus is distinctive, but it is known by only the holotype and a second example from montane forest in Central Sulawesi.

	Tarsier
		Tarsiers (family Tarsiidae, genus Tarsius) are a genus of primates, previously classified as prosimians[?], but now classified as haplorhines, though still not considered to be monkeys.
		They are insectivorous, and catch insects by jumping at them.
		They are named for the tarsus, which is part of the foot.

	Tarsier born in captivity in Sarangani
		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 was news to Sarangani officials but not to Lumads such as the B'laans and T'bolis, who said they have long known that tarsiers, called "mal" in their language, exist in the province.

	Genome Biology \| Full text \| Primate mitochondrial evolution
		Nuclear DNA data identify Tarsius as the sister taxon of the anthropoids (the great apes) but mitochondrial data do not provide robust support for this conclusion.
		This trend is reflected in the preponderance of A- and T-encoded amino acids in Tarsius compared with the anthropoids.
		Regression analysis revealed a strong correlation between the amino-acid compositions of the Tarsius and anthropoid genomes and the 'silent' third-position nucleotide compositions of those genomes.

		The new arrivals were introduced into the same cage which serves as the temporary home of three other tarsiers, one of which, Tarsius Rex, was born in the morning of that very same Saturday.

	Philippine Tarsier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Philippine Tarsier (Tarsius syrichta; also known as mawmag in Cebuano/Visayan) is an endangered tarsier species endemic to the Philippines.
		It is found in the southeastern part of the archipelago, particularly in the provinces of Bohol, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao, Philippines.
		According to records of the Philippine Tarsier Foundation, three subspecies are presently recognized: Tarsius syrichta syrichta from Leyte and Samar, Tarsius syrichta fraterculus from Bohol and Tarsius syrichta carbonarius from Mindanao.

		Dated at around 45 million years, or early in the Eocene period, it is one of the oldest land species in continous existence in the Philippines.
		Four species of tarsier have been classified: the Bornean tarsier (Tarsius bancanus) of Borneo and Sumatra, the Spectral tarsier (Tarsius spectrum) and another dwarf species (Tarsius pumilis) of Sulawesi, and the Philippine tarsier (Tarsius syrichta).
		The last is endemic to the southern Philippine islands of Bohol, Samar, Leyte and Mindanao, where it thrives mostly in secondary forests and dense patches or thickets of bush, tall grass and bamboo and is variously known to the natives as "mamag," "mago," magau" and "magatilok-iok."

		The resonant effects of the two coupled volumes are closely similar in Saimiri and Tarsius despite marked differences in the position of the septum and aditus, suggesting that their middle ear morphology is convergent.

		The name "tarsier" or "tarsius" is derived from the animal's very long ankle bones.
		The tibia and fibula of the tarsiers are fused in their lower portions, acting as a shock absorber.
