Resumen de Cuteness, weaponised
Nowak features a spectral tarsier, which lives in Tangkoko National Park in North Sulawesi Indonesia. As nocturnal hunters, their hearing is as good as their vision, and they are the only primate to communicate in ultrasound. They are partial to insects, happily tackling and eating grasshoppers and beetles half their size. At rest they are only 9 centimeters tall--the shortest primate in the world. But their legs are monstrously long, the result of an extension of the tarsal bones in the foot that allows them to leap up to 6 meters. They might be primitive on the primate family tree, but they are still pretty cool.
