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 . ;)

They are nocturnal creatures, so they have acute vision in the dark. Their largeness allows for their pupils to grow large to allow light into them for vision.
