Tarsier
Sorry, No Picture! There are 3 species of tarsier. Their relatives lived during the Eocene period, 40 to 55 million years ago. Very similar in many respects, the present day tarsier differs primarily by being nocturnal, thus having enormous eyes. It is postulated that as the different species of primates evolved, the monkeys and apes were quite successful, demanding the tarsier to assume safer nocturnal habits. The tarsier ranges in size from 4 to 6 inches. MORE! [BM] {FW}
