The Philippine Tarsier Foundation personnel discovered a tarsier family, a rare thing given that this wildlife icon of Bohol, Philippines is a solitary and nocturnal species. The sanctuary staff believes the family members are a mother, a “teenager” and a baby. They were photographed hugging each other.
This photograph of the tarsier “family” is posted publicly on the Philippine Tarsier Foundation Facebook page. Visit their website and Facebook page and do your share to preserve the Philippine Tarsier.
The foundation strives to preserve the habitat of the tarsier and of course the tarsier themselves. The sanctuary located in Corella, Bohol is home to the endangered tarsiers.
Boholanos and visitors are encouraged to learn more about the Philippine Tarsiers in their natural habitat at the sanctuary.

Bohol’s TARSIER 117 rescued a family in an SUV that fell from Tagbuane Bridge in Albur, Bohol on July 16, 2014 mid-afternoon. The driver of the black SUV lost control of the vehicle when it passed the bridge which became very slippery after the rain brought about by typhoon Glenda that is currently affecting Luzon.
The driver, his wife and two children and a guardian sustained minor injuries and they were rushed by the emergency response personnel to Borja Medical Clinic in Tagbilaran City.
A passerby took a video of the TARSIER 117 rescue team attempting to recover the SUV from the side of the bridge.
