Sentences with TARSIER (5)
See Tarsus.] (Zoöl.) Defn: A genus of nocturnal lemurine mammals having very large eyes and ears, a long tail, and very long proximal tarsal bones; -- called also malmag, spectral lemur, podji, and tarsier.
The tarsier (_Tarsius spectrum_) is a small, kitten-faced animal with long hind legs, which enable it to leap like a frog.
The name Tarsier, as may be inferred, was originally given to this creature by Buffon on account of the abnormal ankle, and it was compared by him with the Jerboa, like which animal the Tarsier leaps when it descends to the ground.
Above this is the strange little Tarsier (_Tarsius spectrum_), one of the lemurs confined to the Malay islands, but so distinct from all others as to constitute a separate family.
The Tarsier is a small, long-tailed, nocturnal animal, of curious structure and appearance; and it forms the only link of connection with the next family, which it resembles in the extraordinary development of the toes, one of which is much larger and more slender than the rest.
