The Philippines: The Tarsier Man

Tarsiers are the world’s second smallest primate, measuring no more than six inches in height and weighing around 100g. What makes these nocturnal creatures so irresistible to humans is their giant eyes, which appear far too big for their tiny bodies. The tarsier’s eyes are fixed within their skulls, a limitation that is compensated for by an adaptation that allows the tarsier to rotate its head 180 degrees to find its prey (and its predators).
