Pygmy Tarsier: An Animal Thought to be Extinct Since the 20th Century

The pygmy tarsier is a tiny animal (approximately 2 ounces) that, since the 1920s, was thought to be extinct. The image to the right shows one of the gremlin-looking creatures eating what looks like a grasshopper. The woman who found the first one since the last century said she just had to see for herself whether the pygmy tarsier was in Indonesia (which is where it was found) or not. You can read more about it in this article.
