Tarsier Baby 6" Tall

4558,  TARSIER BABY 6"H are anatomically scaled to create the best reproduction of the life size stuffed animal and the most realistic stuffed animal in the industry. 

The pygmy tarsier was believed to have become extinct in the early 20th century. In 2000, Indonesian scientists accidentally killed one while trapping rats. The first pygmy tarsiers seen alive since the 1920s were found by a research team led in Lore Lindu National Park in August 2008. The two males and single female (a fourth escaped) were captured using nets, and were radio collared to track their movements. As the first live pygmy tarsiers seen in 80-plus years, the belief that the species was extinct has been dispelled.
