The monthly sexual swellings of female tarsiers are also similar to those in anthropoids. Unique among primates, tarsiers have only 2, rather than 4, incisors in their lower jaw. They have a long, partly hairless tail that arcs over their back when they hop on the ground. The eyes are the tarsiers most notable features. Each eye is bigger than the entire brain.
All tarsiers hunt at night, exclusively for animal prey.
Their diet includes primarily insects such as cockroaches and crickets and sometimes reptiles, birds, and bats. One tarsier species is found in the Philippines. Inc. All rights reserved.
