Description
Tarsier is a primates from genus Tarsier . It is a genus monotipe from family Tarsiidae, the only relative who survive from the Tarsiiformes. Although the group was long ago have spread wide, all species that live now found in the islands in Southeast Asia.
Classification
The position phylogenetics of tarsier which alive now had been argued many time at last century, and tarsier classified by turns on the Strepsirrhini subordo prosimia, or as a group of simia (=Anthropoidea) in infraordo Haplorrhini. Indicated that tarsier, which are included in genus Tarsier, in fact it is being classified in two (group Sulawesi and the Philippines and the West) or three different genera (group Central Sulawesi, the Philippines and the West). Taxonomy in level of species is complex, with a limited morphology is often used compare to vocal. Various shapes of some vocal may represent taxa that have not yet been described, which is taxonomist separated from spectral Tarsier (=spectrum) (such as tarsier from Minahasa and the islands Togean), and many other tarsier from Sulawesi and the islands in the area (Shekelle & Aman Mostavan, Dea 2004). This may also a case of population in Philippines which are isolated, less than known such as the population of Basilan, Leyte and Dinagat from the group T. syrichta. Confusion more appear on the validity of certain names. Among other things, T. dianae, that is often used, has been shown as synonymous with junior from T. dentatus, as the same as the T. spectrum is now considered synonymous with junior from T. spectral. Moreover, T. spectral has been argued as synonymous with senior from T. spectrum that is used widely.

Anatomy and Phisiology
Tarsier has tiny body with larger eyes. Each eyeball's diameter is around 16 mm, it is almost the same as its brain. Its back legs is also very long. Bones tarsus in his legs is long and from this bones is how tarsier get this name. Its head and body lenght is 10 to 15 cm, but its back legs almost twice, they also have a slim tail as long as 20 to 25 cm. Its finger are also long, and the third finger has lenght approximately the same as length of its upper arm. In the tip of his finger there are claw but in second and third finger of his feet have claws which they use to treat the body. Feathers Tarsier is very smooth and similar brown velvet that usually gray, when it is young, chocolate or yellow-orange is dominant.did Tarsier does not have a comb teeth, and the order its teeth is also unique :
