Air Travel
Photograph by Tim Laman

The locomotion of spectral tarsiers is powered by long hind legs that give the small primates a specialized style of vertical clinging and leaping as they travel through the rain forest. Although aided in their foraging by large eyes, they also rely on their acute hearing to capture and eat roaches, katydids, and other insects.
