| The tarsier, a nocturnal animal, is a tiny insectivore primate with eyes that are disproportionately huge for the rest of its body. |
| It could be a marsupial rat or mole or something opossumlike, or a rodent, insectivore, or even a primate akin to a tarsier or loris. |
| 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. |
| This area is of vital importance, not only for the babirusa but also for the anoa, the tiny, giant-eyed spectral tarsier and the locally endemic Heck's macaque. |
| Only one other primate, the tarsier, is known to include such a high proportion of animal prey in its diet. |
