Tarsiidae Tarsiers are tiny animals that weigh around 85 and 110 grams. They have thick wooly fur and a long almost naked tail. They are nocturnal animals and thus they have large eyes and mobile ears. They can also turn their head to almost 360 degrees.
Tarsiers are the only primates which are wholly carnivorous.
They eat insects, frogs and small birds. It is dark reddish brown in colour and up to 15 cm long, with a tail almost twice that length. The Philippine tarsier is the small size but greyish in colour. The Celebes tarsier is about 13 cm long with a dark grayish coat.
