Tarsier

Facts

• Family: Tarsiidae
• Habitat: Islands in South-East Asia

Appearance

Look into my eyes!

Tarsiers have the biggest eyes of all mammals compared to their body size. That’s not surprising with those massive peepers! The tarsier needs them to see its prey at night: butterflies, cicadas, termites etc. Tarsiers are the only primates that only eat meat. Their eyes are even bigger than their brains. Just like the ostrich.
