tarsier

[动](东印度)眼镜猴,跗猴

It may look like a gremlin, but this tiny animal is actually a pygmy tarsier, recently rediscovered in the forests of Indonesia. 看起来像个小鬼，其实这种弱小的动物是最近在印度尼西亚被重新发现的侏儒眼镜猴。

We studied a maxillary fragment of tarsier and revealed that tarsiers had already achieved gigantic orbits and bell-shaped palate by the time of middle Eocene. 对于眼镜猴上颌骨片断的研究表明，中始新世的眼镜猴已经具有了如同现生眼镜猴一样的钟形腭和明显增大的眼眶。
