The

Philippine tarsier

(

Carlito syrichta

) is a small primate in the family Tarsiidae, the

tarsiers

. It is endemic to the Philippines, where it occurs on islands including

Bohol

,

Samar

,

Leyte

, and

Mindanao

. With a height of 85 to 160 millimetres (3.3 to 6.3 in), it has very large eyes fixed in their sockets, a flexible neck allowing head rotations up to 180 degrees, long ankle bones for leaping, and large mobile ears suited to its

nocturnal

life. It is mainly

insectivorous

, feeding on insects and other small animals in forest habitats. The species is classed as

near threatened

because of habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade, and is protected by conservation laws and sanctuaries. Formerly placed in the genus

Tarsius

, it is now the

sole species

in the genus

Carlito

, named after the conservationist Carlito Pizarras. This Philippine tarsier of the subspecies

C. s. fraterculus

was photographed in the forest southwest of

Bilar

, on the island of Bohol.

About me

Not much to say about me really :) I am in the UK, which is going to naturally affect a few things. My politics are going to be somewhere to the left of the USA and somewhere to the right of Laos. I try not to let that influence anything I do here. I am subject to UK laws which does affect things; I don't really deal with fair use copyright claims, and I don't recognise first amendment claims. These are just examples. I am going to speak funny, spell some words strangely, use idioms you might have to look up, and employ British humour. At the same time, I am familiar with many international experiences and perspectives. I registered this account in 2005, and could write back then, so I am at least that old. I don't possess any pronouns, and yours are probably going to involve the singular they. I am not paid by anyone to edit or perform any other actions. If you receive any request for payment mentioning my username then it's a scam. I don't use this username on any other (non-wikimedia) website. Realistically, the only other account you'll see me operate here is User:💤. Anyone else claiming to be me is probably an impostor.

Notes for other admins

I am currently an admin and checkuser (along with some other stuff). Other admins should feel free to adjust or reverse any admin actions I've made, as long as they understand the basis and consequences, with the following qualifications. First, any action I've marked as a checkuser action is based on non-public information and should not be adjusted without consultation with a checkuser. This is actual policy. Consultation with any checkuser will suffice, but you might want to start by consulting with me. I would also add with respect to checkuser blocks, revoking TPA (or maybe email) is usually fine but any other adjustments you really should at least let me know. I try to be very precise and deliberate in any action I take. I particularly advise caution when there is a partial block involved. Second, I frequently deal with other private or otherwise unstated information, involving institutional knowledge, LTA cases, private requests, BLP complaints, or some other subtlety. I'm working on improving my communication skills, but I don't always make clear what's going on for various reasons. If you don't fully understand what's going on then I'm usually happy to provide as much information as I can, and if required, to refer you in good faith to people you can check with or appeal to. If in doubt, just ask. And in any case, please just let me know. Other than that, if you just plain disagree, or I've made a clear mistake, and you know what you're doing then I warmly invite you to act. These principles, although directed to admins, also apply to regular editors.

Email

I dislike email. If you can do it on-wiki, please do that. I will accept email through Special:EmailUser/Zzuuzz where the information is not suitable for public disclosure. This might include (but is not limited to) requests for revision deletion, requests for IPBE, tip-offs, other private notifications, and any instance where a reporting user feels they may see retribution or harassment. In most cases I may just take actions instead of replying by email. Please note that emailing is never a quicker route to my attention than my talk page. If you send email directly to my email address rather than through the wiki interface, then I will not receive notification and the email has a chance of remaining unread indefinitely. I strongly recommend you don't do that. If you do email through the wiki interface then I will receive notification. Please don't add an additional notification to tell me I've got a notification.
