Love, love these funny creatures and their extremely big eyes )))

Tarsiers are incredible, amazing and many other pleasant words. Very often they are not bigger, than a people’s hand (I mean a palm). Living in captivity, they, as a rule, change an original lifestyle and eat everything: insects, small animals and even cookies…

Tarsiers, probably one of the most interesting animals in the world. They are exotic, funny and so small. Latin name is ‘Tarsius Syrichta’. They eat mostly insects, tarsiers grow up to 160 mm and weigh up to 165 grams. They can’t be mistaken with other animals and small primates because of a very peculiar appearance. Tarsiers possess large eyes and feet. They got such a strange name exactly because of the extended tarsus bones. These animals are perfect hunters because of large eyes and ears. They lead a night style of life. Oh, no! It doesn’t mean that they go to discos or participate in hot dancing nights, they are hunting and at day time they are mostly sleeping. Tarsiers’ vision is extremely acute and they can catch insects and even birds by jumping either from one branch to another or from one tree to another. Sometimes, tarsiers can hunt even snakes. Moreover, tarsiers’ neck can turn 180 degrees.
As a rule, tarsiers live on trees and they are of gray colour. Tarsiers possess a naked tale (unlike many other animals).
