where can we find tarsier in the philippines
Philippine tarsier The Philippine tarsier (Carlito syrichta), known locally as mawmag in Cebuano/Visayans and mamag in Luzon, is a species of tarsier endemic to the Philippines. It is found in the southeastern part of the archipelago, particularly on the islands of Bohol, Samar, Leyte and Mindanao. It is a member of the approximately 45-million-year-old family Tarsiidae,[2] whose name is derived from its elongated "tarsus" or ankle bone.[3] Formerly a member of the genus Tarsius,[4] it is now listed as the only member of the genus Carlito, a new genus named after the conservationist Carlito Pizarras.[4][5]
