Endangered Animals: Tarsius Tarsier
Tarsius is Indonesian
endemic animal that has brown fur. They can be found in Sulawesi Island or
Peleng Island. They have big round eyes that are the biggest one of mammal’s
kingdom relatives to their body. Their body is the smallest one than other
primates have. While other primates have pairs of strong arms and feet for
grabbing trees, they only have the little one. Besides of that, Tarsius is the
only primate that doesn’t eat fruit. They eat some types of insects, birds,
lizards and even snakes. They are nocturnal animals so they very active at
night.
Nowadays,
Tarsius is hard to find in Sulawesi because hunters like to hunt and sell them
in Black Market. They exoticism make their price are so high in there. The
other reasons are people usually want them for being their pets. If people stay
in these kind of behavior, their populations will be extinct sooner. Our
successor also cannot enjoy the exoticism of Tarsius as the real one.
Otherwise, if people start to realize that we must keep our endemic animals,
this world will be better for all living creatures. People should make
preserved rehabilitation or renew the law of Hunting Animal in case of
protecting endangered animals. I hope the government and people can support
each other to make this problem resolved.
