No tourist in his/her right mind would pass on the Tarsier Conservation areas—who would not want to see these small, furry creatures? The Philippine Tarsier (Tarsius syrichta) is one of the most unique animals in the world, what with its unique appearance, lack of ability to walk, and habit of turning 180 degrees to look around. The tarsiers are nocturnal primates in the wild, but it seems as if domestication in such parks has caused their sleep-wake cycle to become disturbed. As this tarsier groggily looked at passing tourists, it seems to have been asking for a little private time. Man has turned Bohol into his paradise at the expense of theirs.
