Super adorable! I need to add the spectral tarsier to my list of wildlife to illustrate. Super cute! 😍
Not creepy at all, 200% cute! Hoping more knowledge of these creatures means more conservation!

Top-tier video, for sure.
What's creepy about this? Why is the BBC such shit these days?
I have never found tiny nocturnal mammals and alike to be creepy. I love the nighttime mammal house at London Zoo. Remember that as a primate, this amazing little creature is a relative of the creature that monkeys, apes and humans evolved from. ❤

I’m literally amazed. This is proof that life was created by some grand designer of the universe.

Insects serves nicely for scale, as well as meal. Extraordinary locomotor ability! Usually, leaping traces a parabolic trajectory. Tarsier is, tarsier does! Sifakas show off elegant form of leaping over long distance, as well as landing, but tarsiers go into another dimension, leaping like a bullet.
I bumped my forehead on a door today and it was light out. Amazing what creatures can do.
Not creepy Only cutie
Makes me wanna perish and allow my unearth body to come back as that googly eye furry mammal
