¤èÒà¢éÒ 60php, ¹Ñ¡àÃÕ¹ 50php The Philippine tarsier (Carlito syrichta), known locally as maumag in Cebuano/Visayan andmamag in Luzon, is an endangered species of tarsier endemic to the Philippines.
It is found in the southeastern part of the archipelago, particularly in the islands of Bohol, Samar,Leyte and Mindanao. It is a member of the approximately 45 million year old familyTarsiidae, whose name is derived from its elongated "tarsus" or ankle bone. It is the only member of the genus Carlito, after the species was removed from the genus Tarsius. The new genus is named after Carlito Pizarras, known as the tarsier man, is the field manager at the Philippine tarsier and wildlife sanctuary on the island of Bohol, and a champion of tarsier conservation in the Philippines. It was only introduced to Western biologists in the 18th century  - The small size makes it difficult to spot. The mass for males is between 80–160 g (2.8–5.6 oz), usually lighter for females, somewhat heavier than other tarsiers such as the pygmy tarsier
 - tarsier's eyes are fixed in its skull; they cannot turn in their sockets. Instead, a special adaptation in the neck allows its round head to be rotated 180 degrees.
 - The eyes are disproportionately large, having the largest eye-to-body size ratio of all mammals. These huge eyes provide this nocturnal animal with excellent night vision
 - The Philippine tarsier is a shy nocturnal[15] animal that leads a mostly hidden life, asleep during the day and only active to look for food during the night. During the day
They only become active at night, and even then, with their much better sight and amazing ability to maneuver around trees, are very well able to avoid humans The Philippine tarsier's pregnancy or gestation period lasts about 6 months. The female'sestrous cycle lasts 25–28 days.Mating season begins in April to May. The males deposit a mating plug in the female's vagina after intercourse. The female gives birth to one offspring per gestation. The infant is born with a lot of hair and born with its eyes open. The females carry their infants in their mouth. A new born can already cling to branches and in less than a month after birth, it can start leaping.
