Spectral Tarsier (Tarsius tarsier) - Requested by Anonymous
A species of tarsier found in Indonesia. It is apparently less specialized than the Philippine tarsier or Horsfield’s tarsier; for example, it lacks adhesive toes. It is the type species for the Tarsius genus. It is found on the island of Selayar and possibly on nearby southwestern Sulawesi. They can live up to 12 years. Males are bigger than females.
Tarsiers are haplorrhine primates of the genus Tarsius, a genus in the family Tarsiidae, which is itself the lone extant family within the infraorder Tarsiiformes. Although the group was once more widespread, all the species living today are found in the islands of Southeast Asia.
