Tiny Monkey Faces Extinction

[Myrkur333]

oh they are so cute. That's sad that they are so traumatized after human contact. Good for nothing we are heh. I hope something is done!

[ximenadehuesos]

the tarsier is not a monkey but a prosimian, it's a different branch in the primate tree. please fix this.

[LittleCutieEvilThing]

Cuties.

[rosycheekchic]

How can we save them?

[soheiljerusalem]

i wish they were not in Indonesia cos Indonesians are nasty ppl and will not help these poor things the way they must do it.

[Swimm4yourlife]

aww, i hope they don't go extinct. i've seen them up close during my last trip to the Philippines. hang in there little guys :]

[karthickpersia]

wow..

i am pleased for them,.....

they are endangered..

[snitchma02]

philppines is the only country, aside from Indonesia, that has tarsiers.

[krum369]

chump chump, nice animal, hopeful they make it.

[iwilldestroyyou9642]

i kinda wanna know who weighs the eyes of monkeys

O_0

like, who thought that was scientifically relevant?

[xH4YD3Nx]

Well, they probably weighed them because they are so large. And I'm sure they weighed them when the animal was dead

[iwilldestroyyou9642]

your probably right...

[ChradiX]

You know what I think. Only kill animals that we eat the meat and use the fur not kill only for the fur thats stupid.

[xH4YD3Nx]

Alot of people kill because of over population too...

[ChradiX]

Yeah...I have to admit, but on the news I just saw ow they kill bears it's awful!

[xH4YD3Nx]

How do they kill bears?

[ChradiX]

Well sometimes they use arrows when they could use a quicklier and less painful way:the gun. And also they used trap where the bear gets a spear in the back or the head and then he tries to run away and.....it's just awful!

[FroggyHope]

It is so sad that we are doing this to our planet.

[juliaheart1105]

i think we should stop hunting animals and make the world a happy place for the animals and us. :)

[springloadedchicken]

@juliaheart1105 is that why this species is listed as endangered? or did you take some real time to find out the real reason? there are many other elements that kill of entire existances... hummmmmmm?

i have frogs that are dying left and right.. not because they are hunted but because of a disease and the fact we POISON their FOOD daily! (for decades)

[rainbowdoom]

we study those a LOT in biological anthropology! :3

[cgkitti]

I was about to comment on that, haha. They are an interesting animal because people will classify them differently as prosimian or simian. It's the eyes that are confusing!

[Mishi40]

It's so adorable~<3

How did it manage to get on the brink of extinction?

[artemisfair]

The locals probably ate most of them.

[unfamoussez]

based on the stories of the locals, they die after having a human contact. they end up hitting their heads onto a hard surface. it's really sad. =( they're probably traumatized whenever they are captured even for temporary circumstances. =\ they commit suicide, banging their heads to the cage's bars.

[Mishi40]

That's terrible! D:

[robertghouston]

Tarsiers are cool little animals!

[GabrielKnightz]

Power to the Monkeys

[Draquoir]

I hope they don't become extinct. These guys are cool. Plus they feed off stuff most people won't touch. ^_^

[zotnica]

aww cute

[Kenred2]

First... and that's awesome
