Tarsier eyeballs are around 16mm in diameter. So says this source: http://brainmuseum.org/specimens/primates/tarsier/index.html Please note that it says the "eyeballs", not the portion of the eye visible when looking at a living tarsier's face. Glen Davidson http://tinyurl.com/2kxyc7
The Philippine Tarsier probably has big eyes, is because the adapt the changes to the environment. I think they evolved with big eyes in order to catch prey or see predators better. FYI some animals get their outer eye color because they have color pigments. Humans don't. The Philippine Tarsier outer pigment color is golden-yellowish. I hope this answer your question . ;)
Yes, a wobbegong shark has relatively large eyes and a wide mouth. Their eyes are positioned towards the top of their head to help them see prey above, and their mouths have a wide gape to aid in capturing passing prey.
People with big eyes come from a variety of genetic backgrounds. Eye size is determined by genetics, and some individuals may have inherited traits that result in larger eyes. Factors such as ethnicity and family history can also play a role in determining eye size.
No, brown eyes are more dominant than blue eyes genetically. Brown eye color is a dominant trait, while blue eye color is a recessive trait. This means that if a person has one gene for blue eyes and one gene for brown eyes, the brown eye gene will be expressed.
Bad to the bone by Inner Circle. Not Bob Marley. The song was released after his death.
each tarsiers eye is the size of its brain and are 16mm long in diameter
big eyes...monkey like animal? I'm sure it's called slender loris. :)

tarsiers
Tarsiers are small primates with large eyes, long hind limbs, and elongated fingers and toes. They have a small, rounded head with distinctive facial features, such as large eyes and prominent ears. Tarsiers have a furry body and a long, bushy tail.
Tarsiers have adaptations such as large eyes for night vision, long hind limbs for jumping, and unique ankle bones that allow them to jump from tree to tree with precision. They also have specialized hearing adaptations that help them locate prey and communicate with each other using vocalizations.
Tarsiers have a few natural predators, such as owls, snakes, and large birds of prey. Human activities, such as habitat destruction and capture for the pet trade, also pose a significant threat to tarsiers.
Tarsiers are small primates known for their large eyes and unique adaptations. There are no documented cases of tarsiers committing suicide in the way humans understand the concept. However, tarsiers can exhibit stress-related behaviors in captivity, which may lead to self-harm or failure to thrive. Their well-being is best supported by providing an appropriate environment that meets their social and physical needs.
the tarsiers live in bohol where there is the famous chocolate hills
Tarsiers rely on their excellent camouflage and agility to avoid predators. They can also produce loud vocalizations to deter threats. In some cases, they may exhibit aggressive behaviors such as lunging or biting to defend themselves if necessary.
Tarsiers eat only insects and small vertebrates.
Tarsiers are like all other vertebrates: they breathe oxygen.
