Tarsier, the smallest monkey in the world, can be found in Bohol, Philippines. They are already being preserved because they are considered among the endangered species. When you take a look at these monkeys, they seem too shy but they can look at you straight from their bulging eyes.
And do you know what makes them extremely uniue and amazing? They can turn their heads 360 degrees! Can you imagine? Can you also turn your head 360 degrees? lol. Well, if you can, you're definitely a tarsier. lol :)

Those creatures I was talking about are far, far, far from being in the endangered species list. In fact, they are even thriving. Come June, after the elections, there would be more of them in those places I mentioned. Check them out... and prepare to be TRULY amazed.

Oh,that's nothing. We see that everyday here in the Philippines. Turning one's head 360 degrees is not unique to tarsiers here... we see that being done in the halls of the Philippine Congress, that place by the Pasig River, in just about every government office... on a daily basis. So, pardon me if I don't find it amazing. ;)

I've been to Bohol already and seen the tarsiers. And it's so amazing to see them turning their heads at 360 degrees. I was shocked to it for the first time. How can they possibly do that. It's both amazing and weird. hehe. AT first I didn't want to go near them also because of their huge eyes. But I was able to manage. I wanted to touch them but the sanctuary personnels won't allow us too.
