THE PHILIPPINE TARSIER

Ang Philippine Tarsier na kilala din sa tawag na mawmag ng mga Cebuano/Bisaya at mamag naman sa Luzon. Ang bilang nito ay 45-milyon-taong pamilya. Maaari itong matagpuan sa bahagi ng bohol sa Maripipi Island, Siargao Island, Basilan Island and Dinagat Island.

The Philippine tarsier measures only about 85 to 160 mm (3.35 to 6.30 in) in height, making it one of the smallest primates. The small size makes it difficult to spot. The mass for males is between 80–160 g (2.8–5.6 oz), usually lighter for females, somewhat heavier than other tarsiers such as the pygmy tarsier. The average adult is about the size of a human fist.

The female tarsier has multiple sets of breasts, but the only functional set is at the pectoralis. The other breasts are used as anchor points for the newborn tarsiers. The gestation period lasts 180 days, or 6 months, after which only one tarsier is born. The newborn tarsier is born with much fur and eyes open. Its body and head length is about 70 mm, and its tail is around 115 mm long.
