Description
Philippine tarsier skull replica measures 1.5 x 1.0 x 1.0 inches. The Carlito syrichta skull is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The Philippine taser is from the southeastern islands of the Philippines. Its natural geographic range includes the islands of Bohol, Samar, and Leyte.
This small primate is also found on Maripipi Island, Siargao Island, Basilan Island, and Dinagat Island. Local reports show they live in Sarangani as well. Females give birth to only one baby per litter.
These tiny primates are completely carnivorous and eat no plant material at all. They mainly eat live insects like crickets, grasshoppers, and beetles. Their dies also include small vertebrates like frogs, lizards, and small birds.
Philippine tasers belong to a 45-milion-year-old family named Tarsiidae, which comes from their long ankle bone. Their eyes remain fixed in the skull and cannot move in their sockets.
A special neck adaptation lets them rotate their round head 180 degrees. They have the largest eye-to-body weight ratio among all living animals.
They have thin, rough fur colored gray to dark brown. Their narrow tail is bald except for a hair tuft and doubles their body length.
The long ankle bone helps them jump 118 inches between trees. Long digits with rounded pads help them grip surfaces easily.
