The Blue Jester
Silent Witness
Tarsiers (TAR-see-ərz) are haplorhine primates of the family Tarsiidae. They are found primarily in forest habitats, especially those that have liana, vines that give tarsiers vertical support when climbing trees. Fossils of tarsiiform primates have been found in Asia, Europe, and North America.
Though the Tarsier were prehistorically more globally widespread, all of the species living today are restricted to Maritime Southeast Asia, predominantly in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.
The fossil record indicates that they have changed very little, except in size, over the past 45 million years.
Tarsiers have never formed successful breeding colonies in captivity, and are a conservation-dependent species, meaning that they need to have more and improved management of protected habitats, or the threat from human activities will cause them to become extinct in the future.
