Scientists believed these tiny primates, Tarsius pumilus (or Pygmy Tarsiers) weighing less than two ounces, were extinct until researchers recently found some in the mountaintop forests of Indonesia!

- I have a PhD in Biological Anthropology, I study extant species to better understand what happened in the distant past. I also have a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree. Sometimes I try to merge these two weird worlds, but I don’t like to force it. I am an artist among scientists, and a scientist among artists. I love things that are wild and irrationally beautiful, but I also love quiet meditative order. This blog is a place where I explore all things I think are brilliant, interesting, beautiful or just real. {Blog header image by artist Rune Guneriussen}

ReplyDeleteI measured the skull of a Tarsius pumilus today at the museum! It was from the 1920s and it is tiny tiny. The skull is almost see-through the bone is so thin. I also measured the skull of a pygmy marmoset, the animal in daniel arnolds pics! poor little guys all dead in a drawer.
