Hi guys, I have never seen a Tarsier personally but I really, really love to see one! A tarsier is a very small creature, some say it is just as big as our fist.
This particular picture caught my eye:
Look at its eyes! Piercing. Amazing! |

Yes, very interesting!
I also read from some encyclopedias that Tarsiers are nocturnal animals. They are also insectivorous, meaning they eat insects in order to live.  |

My friend just came from a trip to the Philippines and gave me this nice and cute tarsier keychain.
I'm sorry if it's blurry.

it seems like an exotic animal, i'd like to have one. but if they're getting quite rare and extinct, then it's fine if i don't have one. i'll just stick with my lovely dog.  |

| You can't own a tarsier? That's too bad. If I ever get an exotic pet, I will get a tarsier. |
