Tarsier is the worlds smallest primate. They measure only up to 8 to 16 cm. Their eyes is bigger than their brain, the tail is longer than their body and the toe is what they use to grip on tree branches. But this smallest furry creature can jump up to 16ft. (crazy right?) :D
They are among those endangered species that's why Tarsier Sanctuary was made to protect them from extinction. Tarsiers are nocturnal and suicidal. They are put under stress when disturbed by touching, loud noises and moving the tree where they are staying that could prompt them to commit suicide. (yes not only human commit suicide) so tourist are advise to be quiet as much as possible and don't use flash when taking pictures. There are only few of them left in this world so we must take care of them even on simplest way like by obeying the rules at the sanctuary.
