Philippine tarsier (Carlito syrichta)

Tarsiers are tiny, nocturnal primates found in Southeast Asia. They may be cute, with eyes almost as large as their brains, but they are actually the most carnivorous primates. They hunt mostly small arthropods, like insects and arachnids. This species is perhaps the best known tarsier, living in lowland tropical forests of the Philippines. They are large enough to occasionally prey on small reptiles and birds!

Start of National Wildlife Week

To protect the Philippine tarsier, I can support conservation efforts by donating to organizations focused on habitat conservation and research. I can also promote ecotourism by visiting tarsier sanctuaries or eco-parks that educate visitors about the importance of protecting their habitats. It is illegal to keep tarsiers as pets, and it is harmful to their well-being. Advocates for habitat conservation raise awareness about threats like habitat loss and fragmentation, and support policies to conserve forest habitats. Finally, practicing responsible photography respects tarsiers' space and avoids flash photography, which can disturb them. These actions contribute to the protection and conservation of Philippine tarsiers.

💙 it’s not wrong to want to spend time with my brother, is it?

@ask-hws-guam

Not at all, love to!

[Realized haven't introduced Pien yet even though he's kind of Piri's mascot. Thought it'd be funny though if Pien runs Piri's social media accounts and each one of them Alfred and Antonio are blocked just because the tarsier neither forgives nor forgets]

Tarsier

Introducing the stars of Bohol : Tarsiers!

I'm just gonna leave you some facts that speaks for themselves:

They are the size of your fist, no more.

They're not marsupials but primates.

Their brain is smaller than one of their eyes.

Since they cannot move their eyes, their head can do a 360.

They're nocturnal, sleeping during the day; hanging on the same branch.

Not a tree, they always return to the same specific branch. For life.

That simplifies the conservation efforts: just put a fence around to protect them from cats… and that's all.

They can't stand others tarsiers near them, except for a small reproduction period.

They eat insects, and they hunt by jumping up to three meters!

They cannot stand loud noises and camera flashes. Heart attack.

They cannot stand to be put in cages, and will commit suicide by banging their little heads on the bars :(.

They are a testimony to the True Secret of survival: just be cute to humans eyes.

Voici la star de l'Île de Bohol : le Tarsier !

Au sujet duquel je vais juste vous laisser avec ces quelques faits qui parlent d'eux mêmes :

Ils font la taille de votre poing, sans la moindre exagération.

Ce ne sont pas des marsupiaux, mais des primates.

Leur cerveau est plus petit qu'un seul de leur yeux.

Comme il ne peuvent pas bouger les yeux, leur tête est capable de tourner à 360°.

Nocturnes, ils retournent le jour venu dormir sur la même branche.

Pas le même arbre, la même branche, spécifiquement. La même, toute leur vie.

Remarque ça simplifie les efforts de conservation : mettez juste un grillage autours de leur arbre pour éviter les chats… et c'est tout.

Un tarsier ne supporte pas la proximité d'autres tarsiers, sauf quelques petits instants pour la reproduction.

Ils mangent surtout des insectes, et sont capables de faire des bonds de 3 mètres en chassant!

Ils ne supportent pas les bruits soudains et les flashes d'appareils photo. Crise cardiaque.

Ils ne supportent pas d'être mis en cage et se suicident en défonçant leur petits cranes contre les barreaux :(.

Ils sont un témoignage du secret ultime de la survie : Être mignon aux yeux des humains.

Ang Alamat ng Tarsier

Noong unang panahon, may isang tarsier na naninirahan sa kagubatan ng Bohol. Siya ay isang matalinong hayop na may kakayahang makipag-ugnayan sa ibang mga hayop sa kagubatan. Hindi siya kasing-liit ngayon kundi katulad ng mga regular na hayop sa kagubatan. Ngunit isang araw, may isang kaharian na nagtungo sa kagubatan at nagdala ng malakas na mga instrumentong pang putol ng kahoy. Hindi naging…

The Monkeys That Commit Suicide! 🇵🇭

[amnhnyc]

Did you know? The Philippine tarsier (Carlito syrichta) is one of the world’s smallest primates, measuring up to 5 in (13 cm) long and weighing around 5 oz (142 g)—about the size of a baseball! Found in the tree canopies of rainforests, this critter hunts insects at twilight, and uses its “googly” eyes to take in as much light as possible. Each of its enormous eyes is about the size of its brain! 👀

Tarsiers (/ˈtɑːrsiərz/ TAR-see-ərz) are haplorhine primates of the family Tarsiidae, which is, itself, the lone extant family within the infraorder Tarsiiformes. Although the group was, prehistorically, more globally widespread, all of the species living today are restricted to Maritime Southeast Asia, predominantly being found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines
