From these photographs they look like they are in a permanent state of shock. I might be too if I had to spend my life crawling around trees looking like that. :)

[Image]Tarsiers have the distinction of being an intermediate form between lemurs and monkeys. Like lemurs, they have an excellent sense of smell and are nocturnal. Like monkeys, though, their nose is dry and hairy.
(I think my toddler son falls somewhere in this category, though probably closer to lemurs. Lately he's been way too nocturnal, and his nose is very moist from a cold he's had from the past day or two.)
Why are the tarsier's eyes so large? Most likely because, though they are nocturnal, they lack the reflective membrane that most nocturnal creatures have in their eyes. Why the long fingers? All the better to wring your neck with.

If we had eyeballs of the same ratio to our body size as the tarsier they would be roughly a pint each in volume (568ml)
