Tarsiers
As I was searching for some of the rare animals in the world I came across Trasiers, an animal with remarkable large eyes. Its hard to believe that they are not able to move their eyes within the sockets, so they rotate their neck around to see. These animals are similar to monkey's they are very clever hunters. They are strongly territorial. They have really strong smell and that is one way they are able to find other Trasiers around them so they avoid the same area where other Trasiers hunted. They are very interesting animals, they sleep in a group at night and normally hunt alone. Trasiers are capable to reduce their body temperature while sleeping so they can avoid other animals who hunt by sensing body heat. So that is why they are rarely eaten by snakes. Trasiers eat mainly small insects like cockroaches and crickets, also they hunt and kill small vertebrates. They can also kill venomous snakes and birds larger than themselves. they are outstanding leapers and are able to jump ten times their body length. The longest leap is 5-6m. They hunt small insects flying around by jumping. They grab their prey on the ground with their long strong legs. Trasiers are normally found in Sountheast Asia normally around the islands.
