Weird animals. It's eyes are fixed so that it has to turn its head to see somewhere else. Females have multiple breasts but only one set in functional. Largest eye to body ratio of mammals. We saw these in a park in Bohol.

The world's smallest primates are 2 species of pygmy marmosets native to South America, weighing at a little over 100g.

The tarsier probably is the smallest in Asia.

looks like Madame Berthe's mouse lemur is actually the smallest at only 30g

You're right, the pygmy marmosets are the smallest monkeys.

I’m pretty sure it’s saying, “Go away!”
