The Unusual Tarsiers

The Tarsier. It is considered as the oldest and smallest primate in the world. Once an endangered specie, now a protected specie in Colon, Bohol where more than a thousand are being cared. While most of them are protected, there are few renegades in the forests of Bohol. Here are some of the unusual tarsiers.


Tanod. Very evident with his big, open eyes, he’s more of an observer and is trying to fit in. He has a natural sense of humor.

Teacher. He can memorize all the names of the tarsiers. Of course, he’s the teacher. He tends to change his mind a lot. He is funny, though.

Tina Taba. She should have been a parrot and not a tarsier. She talks a lot that drives each one to its nocturnal state at an earlier time.

Tony Wisdom. He could cite all the fancy German tarsier quotes in the world. Some like it. Some don’t have the bit of care of what those quotes mean.

Princess Trisha. The teacher thinks she doesn’t understand. What the teacher doesn’t know, everyone is laughing because Princess Trisha knows every bit the teacher is joking about.

Tom-Tom. They are called Tom-Tom. Those are Tommy and Chuckie. Similar to the rugrats, they are friends and friends of everyone.

There are really unusual tarsiers. As a primate, the tarsier is already unusual--quite small, quite fragile and odd looking (looks partly like a monkey, partly like a bat, partly like a mouse). That's what makes it unique. And what is good to know, they are now safe gizmos in the country..
