Only in the Philippines !! TARSIERS....
The smallest animal creature on earth, smallest primates. Maybe even smaller than your fist. Only active during nights and sleeps during the day. an be found in Leyte, Samar, Mindanao but mostly on BOHOL. They fill their tiny tummies with insects, cockroaches and crickets. They are afraid of flashes, that's why in Bohol where they have this small sanctuary, taking pictures with camera flash is not allowed.
