Correction, that's the Philippine Tarsier. I'm not sure if this animal can be considered cute or is just plain freaky. The tarsiers are mainly found in Southeast Asia and the Philippines' Tarsier is endemic to the island of Bohol. These primates eat insects and even other small animals like birds or snakes. It's a very sensitive animal and any form of captivity will lead them to commit suicide. This video by GovernorWatts show Philippine Tarsiers feeding on crickets and just how small these creatures are.
