As one of the smallest and most rare primates, the Tarsier dwarf monkey was once thought to have become extinct since 1921. However, 86 years later, they once again "re-emerged".

Here are the funny pictures of the world's smallest and monstrous monkeys.

Tarsier dwarf monkey appeared on Earth 45 million years ago and has been widely distributed in many areas on Earth. However, this monkey species is now at risk of extinction. The main reason is that their habitat is being narrowed and many wild cats regard them as prey for hunting. On the other hand, this rare monkey is frequently caught by local people to feed and sell to tourists.

In addition to big eyes, Tarsier dwarf monkeys also have equally big ears. These ears support them well when listening to prey, such as insects, birds, snakes or lizards. Their back limbs are also very long, especially the instep. Thanks to these feet, Tarsier dwarf monkeys can move branches on branches at night. Their distance from a jump can be 40 times longer than the body length.
