North Sulawesi, Indonesia 2010
chin:
After lunch, we went to a private zoo. Compare to the other privately operated parks, like Lake Linow or Bukit Goa, the zoo looks very run down.
The story is that the owner's main business is coconut plantation. (And I forgot to mention, coconut trees are everywhere in Manado, many planted in a neat formation.) The owner likes to collect exotics animals. After awhile, it become a park open to visitors.
One of the cutest animal has to be this little guy - Tarsius Spectrum.

They are very small - about the size of an adult palm. They are monogamy for live, thus need to be captured and kept in pairs.
People there told us that they release them after about 6 months, because the little guys cannot reproduce in captivity and probably won't live long. It's so easy to capture that getting new ones every 6 months seem not a problem.

More pictures of the cute little guys.

They eat grass hoppers.

What so special about these birds? I think something like the age can be told by the lines on the beak.
