Tarsiers are tiny animals with huge eyes. Their excellent senses of sight and hearing make them good nocturnal, or nighttime, hunters. Tarsiers belong to the group of animals called primates, along with lemurs and monkeys. There are at least three different species, or types, of tarsiers.

Tarsiers live on the islands of Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Sumatra, and Borneo. They spend most of their time in trees and can leap between trunks 10 feet (3 metres) apart.

Tarsiers usually live by themselves. They sleep in trees during the day and hunt for food on the ground at night. They eat insects, spiders, lizards, and small birds. Tarsiers jump on their prey and then grab it with their hands.

Some people called tarsier as: tarsier monkey, tarsier animal, Philippine tarsier etc,.
