Tarsier - the smallest monkey in the world!

[MccoyHayden]

OMFG  GRIMLINS DO EXIST!!

[ChromeXu]

i need one.

[TheCrazyTrayzee]

I wouldn't blame you if you didn't know but touching them is wrong. VERY WRONG. These are not pets. They are creatures that belong to the wild and are nocturnal. They sleep during the day with their eyes wide open. How would you feel if someone keep bugging you while you slept and took your pictures with a flash. A lot of Filipinos actually offer this for tourists. THIS IS ILLEGAL AND SHOULD BE REPORTED! These poor things are already endangered and still people let them suffer even more.

[XSavanaBX]

omg its so freaking cute

[brookie8monster]

thats just fuckin creepy man

[raulvazquezdm]

@RevolutionFist It is evil that cute little bastard is a pure carnivore that only eats things that have a pulse, I mean alive!

[nonja29]

cute

[jobo9173]

hahaha even i'm filipino i'm still scared on that, but it looks cute !!

[deedlifmu]

aint it a lemur?? cuz if look the omg vs lemur they look sme

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

Yes this creature is very cute but it is very scared. It should be in its natural habitat. Wild animals are not here for human amusement. ..peace out.

[raysplan1099]

Its not a monkey but is a primate its the worlds smallest primate

[msknowitall55]

@Pokemegafreak

Hi im a filipino we learned that tarsiers are endangered know they are only in the places in the philippines samar leyte mindoro and bohol thanks

[cool3368]

@msknowitall55 ya im filipino too

[nesyamiracle]

Actually, The Pygmy Marmoset is the smallest monkey in the world. Weighing in at just 4.9 oz. for the male. It is 5.5" - 6.3" long.

[jinxedcandi]

that's not the smallest monkey in the world ( it's not a monkey ) i think the smallest monkey is a pygmy marmoset.

[Ellemirsa]

It look sooooo creepy...... it might leap on to your face!!!!!

[hashmcbrownie]

once i came so hard that i could'nt see for 3 days

[BurstAngelJo99]

Tarsiers are a species of Lemur, more monkey and even if they were a monkey, they wouldn't be the smallest.

[ZombifiedUnicorns]

Awe, Its A Cute Monkey..But Kinda Phsyco Looking Haha

[dlslawfirm]

not true ! dis is not the smallest monkey ! the smallest monkey is the size of ur finger !?

[F4rl30d]

@Simon839 hahaha you are funny dude

[TheSololobo]

Does it grant wishes ?

[trinity3124]

You do realize these are not monkeys, not even in the same primate sub group. They are in the Prosimian group. Touching them is wrong and can distress them and actually cause their lives to be shortened. But hope you had fun. Monkeys are Anthropoids sub group Cercopithecoids.

[TheCrazyTrayzee]

@trinity3124 They ARE primates. Haplorrhine Primates. Check it out on wikipedia.

[trinity3124]

@TheCrazyTrayzee Actually I would rather listen to my Biological Anthropology teacher and my other anthropology teachers as they are doctors. Wikipedia is wrong. I believe nothing on Wikipedia.

[TheCrazyTrayzee]

@trinity3124 Yeah. Tell that to National Geographic as well.

[blayne2lulu]

how cute



[drkool01]

FUCKING SPIDER HANDS!!!

[TheOnlySaneGuy]

@drkool01 woah i didn realize it till i read this... m not sure if they are cute anymore :s

[darkdemondayz]

if he stares at you it means hes looking into your soul :l

[HsMzTeam]

creepy little thing

[hitbycars]

tarsiers are not monkeys

[Samjapa]

@hitbycars Yup. The tarsiers are members o lemur family.

[MATT4X4CHURCH]

cuuuuuuuteeeeeeeeeeeee



[mattmanganon]

those little hands remind me of a face-hugger from aliens, i keep thinking it's going to jump on the camera

[mattie701]

i'm surprised laser beams don't shoot out of its eyes like cyclops.

[chicoflo1993]

He looks like he's going to cry

[XxShpoopiesxX]

He must of done ALOT of cocaine.

[COOLSTUFF467]

thats no monkey! f**k you!

[ParadoxAnonymous]

You shouldn't be holding the tarsiers...

Damn tourists are going to push them over the edge of extinction :(

[OSOPRODUCTIONS]

wow def shouldnt be held

[Gravitymann]

Philipinos are half Wet-back and half Chink.

[hilfloram1]

All im wondering is what are you english people doing in phillipines?

[xxSonyBoy1xx]

i would crap my pants if i look out window and see those thing staring at me.

[TheMemieh]

eh okay? but it so cute!:D

[xXemodethXx]

it so cute dont you just wat to kill it

[sousou806]

is good to eat

[will1835]

I used to like these, but wtf is up with the whole "tarsiers are stressed every time they are in contact with humans, and will commit suicide due to stress if kept as a pet"????

Maybe we need Paxil for tarsiers? I mean, why don't we have stressed out cats or even seagulls?

Cute, but weird fucks...

[cigneska]

@will1835 XD typical human being.

[jabberwolf]

This Tarsier later committed suicide by bashing its head against a rock... :(

[cigneska]

@jabberwolf serously?? fucng bitches ill fuck them all XD

[Angelique2800]

Bohol-Philippines??

[Dragan1265]

ugly and scary

[hilfloram1]

@Dragan1265 you Cute and Awesome

[HeavyMetalWhore69]

Tarsiers aren't monkeys they are primates though, and by the way a finger monkey is the smallest...

[titojack8]

tarsiers aren't monkeys.

[EX4J]

omg its like a Ferbie :D

[HidekiSai]

sooooooo cuuuuute now i want one soooooooooooo baaad

[IronManOfficialguy]

That is one ugly monkey.

[kidrainenfina]

i want to touch it >.<

[gelbot1]

Cute and freaky

[missraynee]

that is one creepy ass monkey

[clint252]

This is for MMABJJ1987 drugged out of its head? scared? they come down from the trees because they know they will be fed crickets. It is there choice. You should come out of your bubble some times and do research before making dumb comments.

[rollers219]

i want that monkey

[NathansPhase2012]

I heard you can't hold them for long. I bet anything they would become a highly desired pet like a ferret if they could be held in captivity and survive. Maybe some weird scientist could alter their DNA to make them stronger... but then they would probably become gremlins and start killing people

[showent]

@NathansPhase2012 hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[ccadivadancer]

aw:) but i bet he gets scareed sometimes!!:(

[MMABJJ1987]

Poor thing would have been drugged out of its head. they hate being handled and are very scared of everything. The people getting pictures with it are as bad as the people drugging it.

[GrimIZ987]

I think that as long as someone isn't abusing the poor creature, it's fine!! Tarsiers are really cute little animals...maybe he's just wierded out by all the sunlight....

[mcrss26]

Tarsiers can be found only in the Philippines, particularly in Bohol. Ei Pinoys!

[gtafan110010]

@mcrss26 yeah i,ve been there (logic since i am half filipinno), damn those monkeys are AWESOME

[MMABJJ1987]

also in Borneo.

[winkawak]

omg is so ugly

but the 2nd girl holding it is pretty cute from the side

[gtafan110010]

@winkawak it's bout the monkey not the girl

[zplitt9]

it scares me...

[TatsuRuki]

It's so cute *O* ♥

[KnowledgeAddicted]

@yeahwhateverbye Check out aye aye. Now THATS weird.

[athonski]

cute...

[TheMrFraz]

Is this in the Philippines?? Looks exactly like the river my ex girlfriend went down when she held tarsiers

[vercygentix]

Dude! You found gollum! I can tell it's him cus of those long fingers.

[MeekaBear]

Where were u that they let u hold thing little guy. He is very cute.

[GrowlingVocals]

its not a monkey lolz

[LiamRomK]

Its a frog-mouse!

[SilverGoldfish555]

OMG where did you get to actually hold one? I love these little guys!

[noxzorz]

It's not a monkey .. and you're not supposed to hold it in daylight constantly like a lot of people do ._.

[beavergoffer]

This isn't actually isn't the world's smallest monkey or even a monkey at all. This is the world's smallest primate though. The world's smallest monkey is slight ly larger on average and it's called the pygmy marmoset.

[AwwYouFucker]

I FUCKING WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!:@

[Topaz1115]

@AwwYouFucker you do? awww you fucker...

[rjoseph47]

They don't actually "practice suicide". Many nocturnal primates display a defense mechanism called crypsis. Basically the muscles seize up, and they fall off the branch. Check out the potto and the slender loris, its actually kind of funny/cute/sadly pathetic.

[Authilus]

Do a search for pygmy marmosets for smaller monkeys.

One interesting thing about tarsiers, however, is that they are one of just a handful of animals on earth that are known to practice suicide--deliberately killing themselves rather than continue living in a given situation.

[thegamer551]

it look's at you like it's going to rip you apart

[ToffeeChips19]

It looks like it stares into your soul!

[babycruz100]

they r so cute i want 1 iv always want some kind of wild animal i like zebras 2

[aireofdestruction]

that is about the most disturbing lil thing ive ever seen omg i want one! that thing is so freaky it kinda cute i want one!!!

[jimmyjames1994]

madagscar murice

[XtremeBordom]

@(O.O)@

[5monthsand4days01]

It kind of looks like a hairy frog. It looks scary.

[0HyperChad0]

It's eyes kind of ruin the cute thing. Looks like a monkey and a rat mated.

[ThaPoetess]

It's eyes......

[suiteangel45]

that can only be seen in philippines.........

tarsiers are exotic animals but can be tamed in any reason they can also eat crickets, philippines rain forest or forest shall i say is not a forest anymore if people are going to the forest pls. stop the people from cutting trees and killing all our nature thank you.

[axcelheart20]

its not only seen in the Philippines other countries in south east asia like Malaysia(Sulawesi island in particular) and the java island in Indonesia tarsiers can be found too..

[u20gilpinj]

pygmy marmoset is the smallest primate

[Simon839]

That little monkey is probably letting all those humans touch him because his "owners" mixed in a tenth of a gram of opium with his morning meal. The next thing you know, the tarsier is going to be on the streets, begging tourists for money so it can get its next fix. :(

[Egglesplork]

@Simon839

_____That reminds me of this experiment involving monkeys and cocaine. Come on. Monkeys plus cocaine, some scientists must be on something themselves when they thought up that one. Anyway! In one series of experiments, scientists found out that the monkeys addicted to "Columbian snow" will prefer the stuff over food. Gosh, who would've guessed?

[muriloavi]

@Simon839 :/ its sad

[F4rl30d]

@Simon839 what a sad comment men ........ :(

[Simon839]

@F4rl30d Come on -- look at its eyes. It's a junkie. By the way, what does my comment have to do with the fact that I'm a man?

[lastflightof79]

This thing is so adorable, I want to shoot myself in the head.

[Terrid155]

THATS NOT THE CREEPIEST THING IVE EVER SEEN.

I want one, I could create so much TERROR! >:) Mwahaha?

[zenya123]

saw one of these at a zoo it wanted to play with my sister's finger when she was by the glass xD

[ilci1]

Je to nechutné, protože chudáček nártoun je noční zvíře a strašně trpí a stresuje se. Styďte se ! ! !

[Cyraxtwentyone]

zato ty ses vytáhl že mezi anglickýma commentama mluvíš česky:)

[ilci1]

Můžu si mluvit jak chci. Co jsem řekla, za tím si stojím. A že jsem to řekla česky? Dle tvé podrážděné reakce soudím, že jsem udělala dobře. Alespoň nějaká reakce! Anglicky neumím, řeknu to tedy německy: SIE SOLLTEN SICH SCHÄMEN!

[kroopakroopa]

This is awful!

[deemygo]

tarsiers are sensitive fragile and near extinction. you don´t touch it because it can be easily stressed. you don´t have to create noise in front of it because it is nucturnal and resting at daytime, you have to watch it from a distance because it needs respect.

[frakesey]

@deemygo shut the fuck up

[glitchhunters123]

pygmy marmoset is the smallest ever

[madefromphil]

NO ITS NOT!

[nil1230]

u knw its illegal..

[behevolent45]

Tarsiers are not the smallest "monkeys/primates" in the world but a pygmy lemur mouse is (look it up.)

Tarsier's got their names from their strong but long tarsus ankle bones. Their eyes cannot move so they depend on their necks to move it's head to the direction of the sound.

It's diet consists of live insects and grasshoppers.

A female tarsier produces only one off-spring a year, that is why reports of reproduction of new baby tarsiers are so little.

Tarsiers are not meant to become pets

[monkeyz128]

pygmy lemur isnt a monkey and i would know that cause i studied monkeys 15 years straight and so far lemurs are not considerd monkeys

[duff835]

that my not be a monkey but a tarsiers is not the worlds smallest monkey not at all. And i would know because i also have spent many years studying monkeys/primates/reptiles(yes i know nothing to do with the others put im well rounded in my studys of orginisams also i study cemistry/ geography/ history/ art/ alchomy. plz ecnore my spelling i don't study grammar lol

[cjsmariano]

Dito pa ata yan ah. :))

[snake5891]

Hmm, those guys are a little creepy with that stare...

[0raymund0]

The Philippine Tarsier has been called "the world's smallest monkey" or "smallest primate" by locals before.

While it is a prosimian, and used to be grouped with the rest of the prosimians, it has some phylogenetic features that caused scientists to classify it as a haplorrhine and, therefore, more closely related to apes and monkeys than to the other prosimians.

-WIKIPEDIA

[Zedloc]

thats not a monkey

[cjsmariano]

It is, actually.

[jayjay909845]

so cute

[jayjay909845]

Be careful with your fingers

[EdithNikki]

IT's not a monkey it's a prosimian

[AtrumAznDude]

its the smallest monkey and i can prove it

[fignewtongirl]

2 reasons why im giving you a1 star rating.

1. thats not a monkey its a lemur.

2.thats NOT the smallest "monkey" in the world.

[Maztachief]

Wow, all you dolts are wrong. Tarsiers are prosimians. If you think if it in terms of similarity to the evolutionary ancestors of humans its easy to visualize. Prosimians (including lemurs and some of these other not quite monkey creatures) are near the base of our evolutionary tree. The reason for this is that they branched off of the tree very early and have retained certain traits that make them not apes, or simians for that matter. NOT A MONKEY. You all need some Anthropology.

[KapetanOrgazmo]

Its not monkey its lemur, monkey and lemurs are primates but there is a big difference.

[craigstar72]

ashenrey-you are so wrong on this one!! think u should just keep quiet and avoid further embarrassment!! it is NOT a monkey. it is a tarsier- from the group commonley known as bush baby`s. you may live near their natural habitat but you know jack shit about them!!!

[allhopeisgone32666]

i think marmosets are smaller

[YourOwnWorlds]

its Alien XD

[Dooky916]

hes ugly

[burtonboy044]

its a bush baby

[kirstiedale3]

yes you are right it is a bush baby

[burtonboy044]

for one, that is not a monkey; for two, the marmoset is the smallest monkey in the world, and its smaller than that.

[Ashenrey]

this is not a marmoset this is a monkey moron, search it in wiki.

MORON!

[burtonboy044]

wow you make me laugh, it is a bush baby and no it is not a monkey, "MORON" and you probly got it from wiki, which whom ever wants to can put any info they want to on it, im smart when it comes to animals. and i just got a reply from the video holder, and she said, your right is is a bush baby, so hah slutty smartass bitch!

[Ashenrey]

it's not a bush baby you moron tell that to me who lives near the habitat of this creature.

How would you be so sure about that if you didn't even experienced visiting this place while for me I always visit this animal's habitat since I'm a resident of Bohol Philippines you idiot.

Now who's laughable?

[fignewtongirl]

Ashenrey-your soo annoying. you call people morons so you can replace it by how much your a moron. jesus crist that fuzz ball in that vid is smarter than you

[Ashenrey]

Tell me who's moron?

Is it someone who uses the word "jesus christ" to insult someone?

Now we're talking about yourself.

And regarding which one is smarter.

A fuzzball like that is smarter than a human like me?

Now I say that statement is not rare for people who doesn't have a brain to think.

I'm pretty sure you're stupidity descends you below the rank of intelligence.

[TheHeadInHands]

its not a monkey, its a prosimian, it predates monkeys

[ChefRyen]

anyone who thinks this animal is ugly can go spoon there fucking eyes out i love these thigns...there like my life.p...are these pygmy tarsiers by any chance i cant rly tell

[starlet015]

[ssullivan166]

that's really sad. poor thing.

[starstarstar42]

I hate the fact that people keep these as "attractions" for a few tourist dollars. I realize these are 3rd world nations and a few dollars means a lot, but they are pimping and ultimately destroying their own biosphere in the process.

[studerreaper]

everyone who says this animal is ugly, is just to cruel!!

i think its the cutest thing, i wish i could have one as a pet, so cool!

[juhlo]

pet? A FUKING PET!?!?!?! I wish I could have your ass as a pet, that would be so cool! Can you be more selfish!

[starlet015]

i live on that island before infact i was born there and i've seen that "tarsier"
