The tarsier is a small animal. It grows to about twelve centimeters long. It has a tail that can be twenty centimeters long. It weighs only around one hundred and twenty grams. It eats small lizards, fish and insects. It looks for food at night. During the day, it sleeps in a high tree, safe from enemies.
The tarsier looks very strange. It is gray in color and has big brown eyes which help it to see in the dark. Its eyes are bigger than its brain. Its feet are almost as long as the body. It can jump almost three meters from one tree to another. It also has long fingers, which look like human fingers.
It lives only in Indonesia and Philippines. People there call it "hantu", which means "ghost". What a strange animal.
