Moreover, the tourism office of Bitung City will also promote its local destinations highlighting 'its most stunning tropical ocean life and the habitat of the rare tiny tarsiers.'

As early as 1900, figures showed that we had over 22 million hectares of pristine virgin rainforest rich with watersheds and river systems teeming with countless endemic species like the tamaraw in Mindoro, tarsiers of Bohol and the monkey-eating eagle.In the book Censo De Las Islas Filipinas Tomo Uno of 1903, population data on Pasay City was pegged at only 6,542 Pasig City had only 11,278 people while the entire Philippine islands was inhabited by 6,987,686 individuals, indicating a population growth rate of 1.

Barcelo said tarsiers, who usually go out to hunt at night, are usually found in the forests of Bohol, as well as in parts of Leyte, Southern Leyte, Biliran, Eastern Samar and Northern Samar.

You can also see Bohol's famous tarsiers at the Tarsier Sanctuary or snap a photo of one of the wonders of the world, Chocolate Hills.

Bohol is perhaps most famous for the tarsiers, one of the smallest primates in the world.

The forerunners of monkeys, apes and humans, also called anthropoids, were then largely replaced in Asia by creatures related to modern lemurs, lorises and tarsiers. The new Chinese discoveries provide the first fossil evidence of this shift, the researchers report in the May 6 Science.

The programme features footage of tigers using their surroundings to ambush deer, as well as examining the strategies adopted by sparrowhawks, jumping spiders, tarsiers, eagles and chimpanzees.

over its history, the DLC has housed, cared for, and made available for study nearly 4,000 animals across 31 species of non-human primates, including lemurs, lorises, and at one point, tarsiers (together, colloquially referred to as prosimian primates).

There are tarsiers, with ultra-sonic hearing, heads that can rotate through almost 360 degrees, and long back legs that can propel them 40 times their own body length.

In addition to being the oldest known example of an early primate skeleton, the new fossil is crucial for illuminating a pivotal event in primate and human evolution-the evolutionary divergence between the lineage leading to modern monkeys, apes and humans (collectively known as anthropoids) on the one hand and that leading to living tarsiers on the other.

fills in an important branch on the primate evolution tree, where early primates diverged into the lineage that led to monkeys, apes and humans 6 also known as the anthropoids 6 and Tarsiiformes, the group that has just one living representative, the tarsiers. And it's a remarkably well-preserved specimen.
