Discussion Question 3 Answer
I chose the tarsier as my favorite primate because of its small size and enormous eyes. Currently, many tarsiers are considered vulnerable, endangered, and critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) so this is very alarming. According to the Endangered Species International (ESI), tarsiers are classified under Mammalia (class), Primates (order), and Tarsiidae (family).
