Gursky’s Spectral Tarsier

Vulnerable to extinction.

Tangkoko, Aug 25.

I always feel lucky and a sense of awe having the chance to see strange, magical and charming little beasties.

Critically Endangered

Charming, a joy to sit with a troop, watching, seeing all the interactions between playful youngsters and jaded adults…
