| Creepy, huh? |
I know that they look like aliens, but they are kinda cute! When it's day, their pupils are tiny and in the night they're huge! Their eyes are a lot like cats because of that! Another cool thing about tarsiers is that they are the only completely carnivorous primates in the whole world! They eat small animals like lizards, frogs, and small birds.
Since this animal has good night vision, it is not surprising that they are nocturnal! Tarsiers has strong teeth and jaws! There are three types of tarsiers: Western Tarsiers, Eastern Tarsiers, and Philippine Tarsiers.
Western Tarsiers normally live in lowland primary forests on islands such as Borneo, Bangka, Kalimanta, and other surrounding small islands. Eastern Tarsiers live on Sulawesi and surrounding islands. And Philippine Tarsiers live in the southern Philippine islands.
Some tarsier predators include birds of prey, cats, boa constrictors, and other large snakes.
Tarsiers biggest predator, however, is us! That's right! We clear forests for factories and we take the tarsiers' homes away! That's why we should help endangered species, it threats animal's lives!
I hope you enjoyed this! See ya next week!
