The Philippine tarsier (Carlito syrichta), known locally as mawumag in Cebuano and other Visayan languages, and magô in Waray, is a species of tarsier endemic to the Philippines. It is found in the southeastern part of the archipelago, particularly on the islands of Bohol, Samar and Leyte.

Tarsius syrichta is a small brownish-grayish mammal. Their colors vary depending upon the region of the Philippines that they inhabit. Some have reddish-brown hair. Body size is approximately 85 to 160 mm, with weights between 80 and 165 g. They are about the size of a young child's hand.

Tarsiers (/ ˈtɑːrsiərz / TAR-see-ərz) are haplorhine primates of the family Tarsiidae, which is the lone extant family within the infraorder Tarsiiformes.

Until it was rediscovered in 2008, the last living pygmy tarsier specimen had been seen in 1921. The Philippine tarsier (T. syrichta) has a totally bald tail, and the feet are also nearly hairless. Human settlement in its habitat threatens its continued existence.

Philippine tarsiers (Tarsius syrichta) are found on small trees, tall grasses, bushes and bamboo vertical places in tropical rainforest areas of the Philippines, most commonly on the islands of Samar, Leyte, Bohol, and Mindanao.

The Philippine tarsier (Carlito syrichta) is native to the southeastern Philippines. While tarsiers once ranged across Europe, northern Africa, Asia, and North America, they all now live in the lush islands of Southeast Asia.

The Philippine tarsier (Carlito syrichta), known locally as mawmag in Cebuano/Visayans and mamag in Luzon, is a species of tarsier endemic to the Philippines. It is found in the southeastern part of the archipelago, particularly on the islands of Bohol, Samar, Leyte and Mindanao.

Tarsiers occupy a key node between strepsirrhines and anthropoids in the primate phylogeny. Here, Warren and colleagues present the genome of Tarsius syrichta, including a survey of transposable elements, an unusual mitochondrial insertion, and evidence for …

T. syrichta, as well as other Tarsiers, can rotate its head nearly 360 degrees. Seemingly effortless leaps of several meters illustrate the Tarsiers' acrobatic abilities moving through trees and shrubs.
