A dream shot! I imagine it must be so difficult to find them and photograph them like this. And there's not even any "red eye" issue. Well done! Posted 7 years ago

  In fact, there is a good spot to see them - we did spot 2 in one night walk, which was lasting only for about 3 hours or so.. sorry I replied again the wrong way;-). We did see them at the Rainforest Discovery Centre near Sepilok on the Pitta trail. We also spottet a few Slow Loris in that area ( mainly on the orchid trail ) Posted 7 years ago

      I tried to restrain myself;-).... He just popped up so close to me - I had to walk backwards;-). I could have touched this adorable animal. And I was busy in keeping my hands under control;-) Posted 7 years ago

  Thank you:-)! I absolutely love night walks in the rainforest. They are indeed often so rewarding. And this particular walk was like the icing on the cake:-) Posted 7 years ago

Today's Facebook post:

We’re continuing our series highlighting some of the most fantastic body parts belonging to wildlife. Today, we are focusing on eyes! There are so many creatures with remarkable eyes that it was quite a struggle to choose which to feature today!

With its enormous eyes dominating its tiny face, the Western Tarsier (Cephalopachus bancanus) is a captivating primate! Its eyes are the biggest of any mammal relative to their body weight. In fact, the volume of one eyeball is almost the same volume as its brain! {Spotted in Malaysia by Tarsier} #Cephalopachusbancanus #Westerntarsier
