Tarsiers Tarsiers are found in South East Asia. They live in tropical rain forests, usually near coastal areas. They are true vertical clingers and leapers. They are able to leap from trunk to trunk very rapidly. They can jump up to 6 feet.
Tarsiers have an unique dental formula.
They eat insects, lizards, and spiders. The tip of the hands and feet have very large pads, and there are nails on all digits except for the second and third toe. On these two toes, there are claws. The foot is elongated in the region of the ankle and the big toe is very divergent from the other toes. The fibula, in the lower leg, is partially fused with the tibia.
