Bohol Philippines is the home of the Philippine Tarsiers.
They are this cute little monkeys with long tails and big eyes. I actually have an toy-size c/o Van antos.
According to Wikipediea - "Fossils of tarsiiform primates are found in Asia, Europe, and North America, with disputed fossils from Africa, but extant tarsiers are restricted to several Southeast Asian islands, including the Philippines, Sulawesi, Borneo, and Sumatra. The fossil record indicates their dentition has not changed much, except in size, in the past 45 million years."On the way to the Sactuary, it even gets exciting as you can see a few chocolate hills on the road. Which is another Ecological site gifted to Bohol. (I'll post another entry for that)
When we got in, it was a bit raining so we we're just able to see a few of them. Around 9 but there are more than 700 in the area. (Cool!)
*Taking photos with flash is prohibited as this stresses them out.
*I also found being quiet helps because they seem to be a bit shy. :) And they hide or scrimp to their knees when your noisy.
So here's my hide and seek experience looking for the tarsiers in Bohol.
Hope you try and visit them too.
Entrance is at 50 pesos and about 35 pesos for students.
