Sign in to saveAlso known as Tarsiidae
Tarsiers ( ) are haplorhine primates of the family Tarsiidae, which is the lone extant family within the infraorder Tarsiiformes. Although the group was prehistorically more globally widespread, all of the existing species are restricted to Maritime Southeast Asia, predominantly in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.thumb|Tarsier image inside National Museum of the Philippines|Philippine National Museum of Natural HistoryThey are found primarily in forested habitats, especially forests that have liana, since the vine gives tarsiers vertical support when climbing trees.
Tarsiers are small primates found only in Maritime Southeast Asia, primarily in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei, where they live in forested areas with climbing vines. They represent a unique branch of primate evolution and are notable as the sole surviving family within their taxonomic group, though their ancestors once lived in many more parts of the world.

眼鏡猴科（Tarsiidae），也叫跗猴，是哺乳纲靈長目的一科，也是跗猴型下目目前仍生存的唯一科，其下共有3属约13种现存眼鏡猴。在欧亚非大陆都有本科的化石记录，但目前现存物种的分布范围仅限于东南亚的马来群岛上。 目录 1 特征 2 分类 3 习性 4 分布 5 參考 特征 体型小，身長約10公分；黄褐色体毛；眼睛很大而圆，甚至比腦容量還大，滿月般的大眼睛宛如戴著一幅眼鏡而得名；尾巴比身体长，近似體長的兩倍，末端有毛丛；指頭的前端鈍而圓扁，有吸盤般的功能，后肢第二、三趾為勾爪，餘為指甲；前肢短小強壯，後肢修長有力，適合跳躍前進；長相怪異，完全脫離猴子的形象，有趣的是牠的脖子短小，頭部可作180度的迴轉。 分类 过去跗猴类曾被归类为原猴類，但后来发现本科与类人猿的关系更亲近，因而将两者一起归入简鼻亚目。 过去本科物种都被归类于一个属——眼镜猴属，至2010年代才成立另两个属[2]，如下： 菲律宾眼镜猴属 Carlito 菲律宾眼镜猴（英语：Philippine tarsier） Carlito syrichta 西部眼镜猴属 Cephalopachus 西部眼镜猴（英语：Horsfield's tarsier） Cephalopachus bancanus 眼鏡猴屬 Tarsius 戴安娜眼镜猴（英语：Dian's tarsier） Tarsius dentatus 拉里昂河眼镜猴（英语：Lariang tarsier） Tarsius lariang 珀伦岛眼镜猴（英语：Peleng tarsier） Tarsius pelengensis 桑格岛眼镜猴（英语：Sangihe tarsier） Tarsius sangirensis 幽灵眼鏡猴（英语：Spectral tarsier） Tarsius tarsier 锡奥岛眼镜猴（英语：Siau Island tarsier） Tarsius tumpara 侏儒眼镜猴（英语：Pygmy tarsier） Tarsius pumilus 华莱士眼镜猴（英语：Wallace's tarsier） Tarsius wallacei 望加锡眼镜猴（英语：Tarsius fuscus） Tarsius fuscus Tarsius sp. 1 Tarsius sp. 2 习性 夜行性，白天在樹木的枝幹上睡覺，夜晚來臨時才開始活動。行進時像青蛙般跳躍，一次可躍1-2公尺，於原產地幾乎都是成對居住，每產一仔。雖然不太懼怕人類，但極不易飼養，動物園中長期飼養成功的例子幾乎是零。由於異常珍奇，又是晝伏夜出，不易見其廬山真面目，因此自古就傳有許多有關的想像圖畫。 分布 一般分布於印尼、加里曼丹島、蘇門答臘島、菲律賓南部等東南亞島嶼；活動於樹林和竹林中。 參考 ^ Groves, Colin.

==Evolutionary history== ===Fossil record=== Fossils of tarsiiform primates have been found in other parts of Asia, (with disputed fossils from Northern Africa), but extant tarsiers are restricted to several Southeast Asian islands. The fossil record indicates that their dentition has not changed much, except in size, over the past 45 million years.
