<div class="tree_txt_unlinked"><p>Tarsiers
are specialized small-bodied primates found in Southeast Asia,
specifically the Philippines, Borneo, Sumantra, and perhaps Java. Five
species are recognized, including: <em>T. spectrum</em>, <em>T. dianae</em>, <em>T. bancanus</em>, <em>T. pumilus</em>, and <em>T. syrichta</em>.
Tarsiers share characteristics with both prosimians and anthropoids,
and exhibit some of their own derived features. They are well-known for
their strikingly large eyes. Additionally, they have hands and feet
disproportionately large compared to their small bodies. Tarsiers are
completely nocturnal.</p>
