The Philippine tarsier, (Tarsius syrichta) is very peculiar small animal. In fact it is one of the smallest known primates, no larger than a adult men's hand. Mostly active at night, it lives on a diet of insects. Folk traditions sometimes has it that tarsiers eat charcoal, but actually they retrieve the insects from (sometimes burned) wood. It can be found in the islands of Samar, Leyte, Bohol, and Mindanao in the Philippines.

i'm not arguing that its a primate...i read somewhere(can't remember now) that its not the smallest primate though.

Tarsier is one of the smallest but not the smallest primate in the world.

The smallest is said to be in Madagascar ( mouse lemur )
