Makassar tarsier

The Makassar tarsier, known locally as Balao Cengke, is a tarsier of the southwestern peninsula of Sulawesi in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, near the city of Makassar. Its scientific name, Tarsius fuscus, was given by Fischer in 1804 but was later treated as a junior synonym of the spectral tarsier. When Groves restricted the spectral tarsier in 2010 to the population on Selayar island, the name fuscus was revived for the tarsiers around Makassar. It has generally reddish brown fur with black hair at the tip of the tail, a shorter skull, shorter toothrows and shorter hind feet than most tarsiers, and a tail that is 143 to 166 percent of its body length. Like every Tarsius species it is nocturnal and arboreal, and it is exclusively carnivorous and insectivorous, usually catching prey by leaping on it.
