Pygmy Tarsier - Rad and Not Extinct

Rad Ass primate rediscovered in Indonesia:
On a mountaintop on an Indonesian island, scientists for the first time in almost 80 years discovered a living Pygmy Tarsier, one of the planet's smallest and rarest primates. Pygmy tarsiers are small, weighing about 2 ounces. They have large eyes and large ears, and they have been described as looking like one of the creatures in the 1984 Hollywood movie "Gremlins." They had not been seen alive by scientists since 1921.
