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! 👀

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!

Round 1 Match 7

Blue Sea Dragon weirdness: "look weird + venomous"

Tarsier weirdness: "They are primates but they’re really weird primates. They have gigantic eyes and they’re just very weird looking in general. They have been reported to commit suicide when they are anxious and they don’t have a tapetum lucidum even though they are nocturnal"
