What year the tarsier discovered?

Answer 1

The tarsier, a small primate known for its large eyes and unique characteristics, has been known to science since the 18th century. The first formal description of a tarsier species was made by the Dutch zoologist Adriaan van Oudenhoven in 1760, although tarsiers were likely known to local populations long before then. Their classification and understanding have evolved over time, but the initial scientific recognition occurred in the mid-1700s.
