Tarsier Deadly 60 Bites

On Deadly 60, I've had loads of incredible animal encounters.

Here's just one of my many favourites.

This is Deadly 60...

Bites!

WHISPERS: Come in here.

'We're in the forests of the Philippines

'looking for one of the freakiest looking animals on the Deadly 60.'

They have tiny, pointed teeth

and eyes that are bigger than their own brain

and they're called the tarsier.

'With our search focused on the trees, suddenly the shout goes up.

'A springing shape has been spotted.'

There! I see him. Johnny, come here.

We've found our tarsier.

The most remarkable, bizarre little gremlin I've ever seen.

Those huge eyes and the swivelling, turning head

are very much like you'd see in an owl.

The great big, thin, membranous ears and those sharp teeth

are more like those you'd see on a bat.

This is the consummate killer of the night.

This is a really friendly little tarsier. He's actually coming to me.

Look at that!

That was incredible!

'The tarsier is able to leap three metres after its dinner.

'That's like me jumping over a house.

'And then, it munches its prey head first.'

Whoa!

They rock!

The high-bouncing gremlin of the jungle,

the tarsier is on the Deadly 60.
