This is the only additional fact that has been acquired respecting the tarsier, since the time of Buffon. |
A little animal, the tarsier, which is found on the islands of Celebes and Borneo, is very exceptional in its structure. |
The tarsier seldom makes any kind of noise, but when it does emit a sound, it is a sharp, shrill call. |
Only one other primate, the tarsier, is known to include such a high proportion of animal prey in its diet. |
It is hard to observe the tarsier in its natural environment because it only leaves its tree habitat to capture its prey. |
The single exception to this among living primates is the tarsier, in which the fibula becomes fused to the tibia. |
