Tarsier Conservation Area, Loboc Bohol


The Philippine Tarsier is one of the smallest primates known.  It’s size is no larger than a man’s hand and is normally found in the islands of Samar, Leyte, Bohol, and Mindanao. The tarsier is a nocturnal creature which feeds on insects, lizards, and small birds. Tarsiers are really a sight to behold and if you’ve never seen one before you shouldn’t pass off a chance to see one whenever you visit Bohol.

Before entering the Tarsier Conservation Area a short briefing on the rules and regulations will be conducted regarding the do's and dont's inside the Conservation Area. Silence is to be strictly observed, flash photography is prohibited and touching the tarsiers among others is not allowed.

Going around the conservation area takes only a few minutes to complete, so please take your time and follow the rules and regulations.  The conservation area is supposed to give us a glimpse on how tarsiers live in their natural environment and show us how we can help protect them.

These have got to be the biggest tarsiers we've ever seen...
