The smallest monkey in the world is called tarsier. It is as small as a mouse. I found it so cute. The tarsier is afraid of lights from the camera so it will close its eyes if you use camera flashes. The eyes are so big but they are nice too.
Have you seen the smallest monkey in the world? If not, would you like to see one when you can?

i've seen in but in picture..i never actually got to see it in zoo or anywhere.ya,it's very cute because it's only a size of grown human finger..i think that's is the only kind of monkey i like because of the petite sized..i lived near rubber estate and every morning,about 20 of monkeys will linger around in the playground and some of it is ruthless..believe me..you don't want to be near a monkey when it's hungry...

There was a real monkey in our neighbor beofre. It is so rude. Evrytime we pass the place it throws some banana kin to us. It does it to other people too. But these tarsiers are not like that. They look more innocent LOL.

Yeah, I've seen not only but many tarsier before my eyes. I even touched it. When we have a trip in Bohol with my friends we drop off in Loboc highway to see Tarsiers before we were heading to Chocolate Hills.
It is an endangered species. It is a tiny animal and its about a size of a human fists. They love to be in hand of human but some they fly or jump from branch to another.
I love to have one as a pet, but since it is endangered species, it is prohibited to have this as domestic animal.
