Tarsier

0:00:02 > 0:00:07On Deadly 60, I've had loads of incredible animal encounters.

0:00:07 > 0:00:11Here's just one of my many favourites.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13This is Deadly 60...

0:00:13 > 0:00:15Bites!

0:00:15 > 0:00:16WHISPERS: Come in here.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19'We're in the forests of the Philippines

0:00:19 > 0:00:22'looking for one of the freakiest looking animals on the Deadly 60.'

0:00:22 > 0:00:26They have tiny, pointed teeth

0:00:26 > 0:00:28and eyes that are bigger than their own brain

0:00:28 > 0:00:32and they're called the tarsier.

0:00:33 > 0:00:38'With our search focused on the trees, suddenly the shout goes up.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41'A springing shape has been spotted.'

0:00:41 > 0:00:43There! I see him. Johnny, come here.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46We've found our tarsier.

0:00:46 > 0:00:51The most remarkable, bizarre little gremlin I've ever seen.

0:00:51 > 0:00:56Those huge eyes and the swivelling, turning head

0:00:56 > 0:00:59are very much like you'd see in an owl.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03The great big, thin, membranous ears and those sharp teeth

0:01:03 > 0:01:07are more like those you'd see on a bat.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10This is the consummate killer of the night.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14This is a really friendly little tarsier. He's actually coming to me.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Look at that!

0:01:26 > 0:01:28That was incredible!

0:01:29 > 0:01:33'The tarsier is able to leap three metres after its dinner.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36'That's like me jumping over a house.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39'And then, it munches its prey head first.'

0:01:39 > 0:01:40Whoa!

0:01:41 > 0:01:43They rock!

0:01:48 > 0:01:51The high-bouncing gremlin of the jungle,

0:01:51 > 0:01:53the tarsier is on the Deadly 60.
