Tarsiers: Future in the Forest

The tarsier is a nocturnal primate that lives in the forests of Southeast Asia. They're known for their huge eye-to-body size ratio, which is the biggest of all mammals, and their other adaptive abilities, such as their long tail (meant to help them balance on tree branches) and adhesive foot/hand paddings to be able to climb on such branches and trees. However, with climate change and deforestation, the tarsier rainforests may no longer be so lush and green. In fact, their climates will be similar to that of savannas. Because of this, tarsiers may lose some of their most memorable traits, such as their long tails. However, to adapt to the new climate, they will need bigger ears for insulation against the savanna heat, orange fur to hide in the tall grass, larger eyes to help them hunt in the night, etc.
