The smallest primates ever (it's as small as a regular-sized finger), it's found here in Indonesia & the Philippines, my native country. It's SO CUTE! "Evolution v. Creation" Tarsiers are man's distant cousins from our evolutionary past. It was back in the dinos time (when they ruled the earth) that the tarsiers were the 1st primates of this planet & they operated only at tall trees during nite when dinos are asleep. Now that's why their eyes are big & round so as to accomodate darkness. But when the dinos disappeared, it took a few more million years for these small primates to start going down the tall trees so as to check-out the ground which was already safe since the dinos are gone. And since the ground is such a VAST area to roam, then these small primates started making it their new domain (since the dinos are now extinct) 'coz living strictly on the trees can get tiring after millions of years!
