Claim to fame: One of the world's smallest primates

Size: 4.5"

One of the smallest primates on earth, the tiny Philippine Tarsier is a nocturnal animal that feeds on insects. Growing up to 4.5in, it is also a protected species, but, sadly, looks in danger of becoming extinct.

Tarsier's are often mistakenly called monkeys, they are, in fact, related to lemurs and bushbabies.
