The pygmy tarsier is a small primate that lives in high elevations. Pygmy tarsiers were thought to have been extinct until a group of the elusive creatures were discovered high on the top of Mount Rore Katimbo in Lore Lindu National Park on an Indonesian island in late-2008. The Furby-like creatures were last spotted alive in 1921.Mail Online: Tiny Primate Rediscovered 80 Years After It Was Thought to Be Extinct (November 19, 2008)
