Answer 2

Tarsiers are prosimian primates of the genus Tarsius, a monotypic genus in the family Tarsiidae, which is itself the lone extant family within the infraorder Tarsiiformes. Although the group was once more widespread, all the species living today are found in the islands of South East Asia.

Tarsiers are small animals with enormous eyes and very long hind limbs. Their feet have extremely elongated tarsus bones, from which the animals get their name. The head and body range from 10 to 15 cm in length, but the hind limbs are about twice this long (including the feet), and they also have a slender tail from 20 to 25 cm long. Their fingers are also elongated, with the third finger being about the same length as the upper arm. Most of the digits have nails, but the second and third toes of the hind feet bear claws instead, which are used for grooming. Tarsiers have very soft, velvety fur, which is generally buff, beige, or ochre in color.Unlike other prosimians, tarsiers have no tooth-comb, and their dental formula is also uniqu

Answer 3

No, it is a prosimian, the group of primates which also includes lemurs, lorises, pottos, and galagos (bushbabies). They are more primitive than monkeys or apes - 'prosimian' literally means 'before monkeys'.

Answer 4

A Tarsier "is" a primate, but not a monkey so to speak.  These sweet, shy, little creatures are a wonder to behold.  They are nocturnal and elusive, while feeding on insects and other small animals.

The family of "Primates" have many members, among them are also monkeys, apes, and humans.
