@ToriSchulte Yeah they really are..due to the quickly growing human population, which causes more and more forests to be converted to farmland, housing areas and roads, the place where the Philippine Tarsier can live its secluded life is disappearing. An the never ending hunting of it for pets or for trade.

Nice...happy in freedom..!!
