The Philippine Tarsier

     


              



    This cute little creature is found in Bohol City and  the smallest primate in the world.Tarsier are also known as the clinger because they always cling on the branches. The head and body length ranges from 10 to 15cm.  Tarsiers  jump from tree to tree and catch insects to eat. 
    They have enormous eyes and wide ears which makes them good hunters at night.  The eyeball is approximately 16 mm in diameter and is large as its entire brain. At daytime, they hide in hollows near the ground and usually sleeps in ferns and at the base of bamboo trees.

White Island

        
 If your a beach lover, don't miss to visit the White Island, a sand-bar in Camiguin , Philippines.  The pump boats will bring you to the island. So have the wonderful experience to go there during low tide and see the island shrinking but have no fear because it will not completely disappear.



                                            This sand-bar is surrounded by coral reefs.
