The tarsiers look, to me, like tiny 'Bush Babies', which do seem to share many physical features with Sugar Gliders.

I doubt they are genetically related, but the all sure look similar.

These tarsiers, at two ounces, are lighter than Sugar Gliders by less than half. Sugar Gliders run about five ounces.

All three species certainly have a potent 'cute factor'.

OMG. Are they too cute or what?

First the ivory-billed woodpecker returns, now these little fellas... *Crosses fingers and holds out hope for some of the others we thought were lost forever*
