The Tarsier

This year we went to the "Magandang" island of Bohol (Philippines). The island is famous for the "Chocolate hills" and is home to the Tarsier.
These animals look nice and you may wanna touch them. But it's better for the animals you don't! Manny of these Tarsiers, are kept just for the tourist, and you can see them next to the road. They are really stress full animals, and do to this stress they won''t become as old as their free brothers and sisters.

So if you go there to see them, don't touch them and make sure not to flash to get them on the picture.

Just look them in their amazing eyes, and if the owner asks if you wanna hold it walk away.

  1. Tarsiers are very interesting creatures. Hopefully, more and more people from other parts of the world will know of their existence since they are endangered species.

    Nice capture with the big eyes!
