EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, a Philippine Tarsier (Tarsius syrichta) is seen in its natural habitat, the undergrowth of a dense secondary tropical rainforest, near the Philippine Tarsier Foundation Incorporated (PTFI) Research and Development Centre in Corella, Bohol, Philippines. The tiny primate, with its large, round eyes and elongated limbs, is intently focused on a delicate butterfly that has landed on a nearby leaf. The Philippine Tarsier is an endemic species of the Philippines and is one of the smallest primates in the world. These nocturnal creatures are known for their extraordinary agility, allowing them to move swiftly and gracefully through the forest canopy. They are also considered to be excellent hunters, using their keen senses of sight and hearing to locate their prey, which includes insects, small reptiles, and even other tarsiers. Butterflies, with their vibrant colors and intricate patterns, are a common sight in the tropical rainforests of the Philippines. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem as pollinators and food sources for various animals, including the Philippine Tarsier. In this moment, the tarsier is frozen in time, showcasing the delicate balance between predator and prey in the forest. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the Philippines and the fascinating world of its unique wildlife. The Philippine Tarsier and its butterfly prey are just two of the many species that call this beautiful country home. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting these precious ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
