Abstract

REGULARSIn the forests of Sulawesi, Indonesia, the cute-but-deadly spectral tarsier can be found. As the world's only entirely carnivorous primate, tarsiers like to feast on prey such as moths, cicadas, small snakes and lizards. This predator seems to have found an unfortunate grasshopper to snack on. As nocturnal creatures, tarsiers hunt by moonlight and have been dubbed 'lunar philia', meaning they're more active during a full Moon. [Extracted from the article]
