Over the thanksgiving holiday this past yer I spent time on the island of Bohol which is about 90 minutes south of Cebu by Ocean Jet Ferry. On this island they have the smallest primate in existance. Would you believe that the tarsier, measuring 4 to 5 inches and a tail longer than its body, can easily fit snugly in the human hand and is 36 million years old? It is limited tot the forest pockets in Bohol and having the status of an endangered species, the tarsier has generated substantial interest.
