Now we know where the emoticon comes from...

Very cute ... initially I was concerned the last pic showed them being used to make money posing for pics, but it looks as though they're wild - I hope so anyway.

I like their mouths as well as their eyes - very innocent looking.

I have been trying to find a pic of the crying lemur in Madagascar, but I can't find it...

It's hilarious.

"The eyes are the tarsiers’ most notable features. Each eye is
bigger than the entire brain. tarsiers can rotate their head almost
180 degrees in each direction, like owls."

"The Philippine tarsier looks so cute and cuddly, many people would like to keep it as a pet.

In a cage, however, the tarsier has only a slim chance of surviving. In captivity, the tarsier can be so extremely distressed it may die of psychological trauma. In the wilds, a tarsier is expected to live up to 24 years. In captivity, however, a tarsier's life expectancy is a little more than 12 years.

Many tarsiers seized from the wilds and placed in captivity survive only for two to five years. Some tarsiers captured and placed in enclosures have even been reported to commit suicide by smashing their heads against objects. Hunted down to be sold as pets in Metro Manila, the tarsier has become an endangered species. The dwindling number of tarsier in the country has also been traced to the rapid destruction of their known forest habitats.In the 1960's tarsiers were a common sight on the highway that cuts through the forested hill of Corella town," recalls Mr. Carlito Pizarras. Mr. Pizarras earned the monicker "Tarsier Man" for being the only person who has successfully cared for and bred the Philippine tarsier in captivity. The hunter turned conservationist claims to have succeeded in breeding 20 tarsiers in captivity. "Today, only about 1,000 tarsiers can be found in the wilds of Corella, Bohol."

Lemurs are adorable!

I have this exact picture on a card, and I carry it around in my purse. I've kept it in there for almost 8 years now. He lives there. He's my little koboldmaki.
