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.
