"The Tarsier has a wide variety of facial expressions ranging from 'demented firby trying to take a cute selfie' to 'terrified witness to Lovecraftian level horrors that just can't look away.'"
He probably saw the star nosed mole😄😄😄
XD Like it stared into the void and saw way too many eyes.
HILARIOUS
a small teddy bear getting a colonoscopy
Hahaha! Lovecraftian!
it disguises itself as a teddy bear....undergoing a colonoscopy
It blends in perfectly
The tarsier wouldn't really think anything, and probably just make a pee-pee.
I died when I heard that.
Centaur Lord I wanna like your ur comment but I don’t want to destroy the 777 likes
It looks like a teddy bear that just smoked 10 grands worth of meth
LIZARD HAS A SHITTY DAY - by Kill Dozer
Lizard has a shitty day,
Gobbled up by Tarsier.
Lizard has a shitty week,
Head got stuck in Eagle's beak.
Lizard has a shitty month,
Got mixed up in Tiger's lunch.
Lizard has a shitty year,
Used to clean Gorilla's ear.
Lizard has a shitty life,
beaten up by estranged wife.
Lizard has a shitty death,
Could not know Rhino was deaf.
So please remember Lizard's plight,
should you think your day is shite.
+Kill Dozer This poem is great. Except for one thing: "astranged" is spelled "estranged".
***** Thank you. And my apologies, spelling has never been my strongest suite. ^^;
+Kill Dozer No worries!
thats the best poem ever
it is how the lizard do.
The tarsier: invents nothing
Me a human: maybe I am a tarsier

Then you must have freakishly large eyes, each larger than your brain
at least you can do stuff with inventions and your family has invented
That moment when your anthropology professor shows this video in class as an educational tool.
Yep. Mine did the same thing.
I want your professor.
ghostexorcist hmm... could it possibly be fathomable that you have... the *same prof*? Nah. This has got to be the go-to tool for Tarsier edu. ...or at least it should be er- for people who are not in elementary school
=)
Anthropology teachers are amazing people. So many ridiculous stories and information that no one else knows about.
Chris Bogaski This video was playing in the background when I lost my virginity. Unfortunately, I didn't get to hear all of the interesting facts because I had to keep an eye on my cat. It kept turning its head around trying to bite me.
Lizard Has a Shitty Day was my favorite book to read as a child.
😂 😂 😂, damn is it a real book?
And it becomes so much more relatable once you reach adulthood
Mine was Go the fuck to bed Moon
Me too!
@@Li0n_007 if that wasn’t satire, you’re too young/ignorant to be on the internet
WHAT CAN IT DO AT 4 MONTHS OLD ???
Fuck
I hope not
The people demand answers
WE WANNA KNOW!!!
everything
In my primatology class, the professor linked to the tarsier video in our lecture about tarsiers, saying “take a look at this TH-cam, which is a) a fantastic overview of tarsier characteristics, and b) just really funny and entertaining, and it’s probably more effective than you learning the material I’m about to present in the next seven slides”. Fun class. Zefrank, if you are reading this, take comfort in knowing that well respected tenured university professors consider your videos more educational than a 3-credit college course required for anthropology majors.
Same in my primatology class. We played it in class one day.
this makes me glad that i didn't have children and then pay for some lazy asshole to show my kid this video so i could work for another 10 years to afford it.
B-but...
BUT HOW DOES THE TARSIAYY DO?
Squig Rattlehead Asking the real questions. 👌👌👌
They exist here in the Bohol, Philippines and I guarantee you that ---- they almost beat the sloth.
And when you scare or stress them even a little, they metal quit (aka suicide)
when the yoUNG TARSIAYY CAN CLIMB TREES LIKE A BABY CANT. THATS WHAT A TARSIAYY DO
Obviously *0_0* is how a Tarsier do
.... And that.. is how the Tarsiayyy DOO
"lizard has a shitty day" sounds like the kind of book a clam would write.
Agreed
Clams are dumb as hell
I would pre order it
Yup
0:54 "Each one of its eyes is heavier than its brain... which might explain why it hasn't invented anything"
I lost it
Better go find it
It's been 3 years. You found it yet?
Hope you find it, even though it's been 6 years
Don't worry everyone, I found it!
Because finding it is what a @vincem3748, doo
"You may not have noticed but the tarsier have very large eyes." 😂🤣
It is the only thing I noticed
I'm glad that he pointed it out. It's not so obvious. I was looking at the ears all the time.
i see what you mean zigg😉😉
Was coming here to say that! 😂🤣😂
That’s because they are cousins to the aye aye 🤣🤣🤣 jk
(we just learned this in class so I possibly know , just based on our teacher) The tarsier's commit suicide if they are strresed , getting flash by the camera , in noisy places , and they hear very loud voices. so if tourists vist bohol (a place in the Philippines where tarsiers are commonly found) they seriously have to be quiet
+Wasalak Kids how did they kill themselves?
+Wolfie Marlowe by hitting their heads on the tree until they die
Wasalak Kids whoa that's informative and creepy, thanks
+Wolfie Marlowe Sometimes they rotate their head 360 degrees to kill themselves its freaky when you see it
+Binxis11atrico lol
They look like they have no idea whether they are a bat, a coconut, a tree frog, or a lemur. So adorable. Omg, it's the inspiration behind Yoda.
I'm not sure if it's adorable or horrifying.
It's very adorable and very soft
Hodorifyable
Horrible! :D
+Justin Leo Remember, if something looks bad it's probably good for your health. I've been a doctor for 25 years.

No it's not
The book "Lizard has a Shitty Day" was my favorite book as a child. I loved the part where the... Oh wait, I better not say, you know, spoilers!
Im only half way through though its 30 pgs.
I come out, I throw trash all over the- all over the ring! And then I start eatin' garbage! And then I pick up the trash can, and I bash the guy on the head.
AHM DA TRAESH MAHN
...where the tarsier made a peepee?
Thats a real thing???
As a guide from one of the islands here in the Philippines where tarsiers are endemic and having the tarsier as one of our must-see attraction, hats off to you sire, I pale in comparison on how you narrated it.
What happens to the tarsier when it reaches 4 months old ,though?!?!
it would become tarsiest
it becomes too creepy for zefrank to look at
I'm wondering too
At four months old it 😂😂🤣🤣
most tarsy?
The children's book, "Lizard Has a Shitty Day"... priceless.
Hello this is your first reply you got from a comment you made 4 years ago.
1:33
My favorite line.
@@timestamp698 This is reply to your reply that you made 2 years ago.
Does this mean that time is speeding up?
i like when he starts laughing mid sentence
Thank you so much for doing this! I shared it during a month long project (virtually) visiting the Philippines with a group of teens with significant disabilities. They LOVED this video. The information was fantastic, and the humor was a delight!!
The whole channel is awesome. :)
As a Filipino, thank you for educating your students. We need to get the word out about these lovely creatures because it helps with conservation efforts. This and the Philippine eagle.
@@rumblefish9 that animal is not exclusive to Philippines. Stupid overproud Pinoy
I don't know why but this video cracks me up every single time, especially when the narrator gets thrown off by the sight of this thing. My wife thinks I'm crazy as a result.
Terrence Aybar have you watched True Facts about the Aye Aye? Seriously, it is THE most funny true facts video. I hold my sides laughing EVERY time.
+HeidiSue60 the mole rat is the funniest for me
+Terrence Aybar I think your wife is crazy then! This video is hilarious!
I'm a 29 year old man. Why have I spent an entire hour watching True Facts? What is wrong with me?
Nothing, says you have a sense of humor. Not all people do
Mr Animal Better True facts than home surgery videos. Try Dear Kitten next, unless you really hate cats.
I'm 40 do the same thing. And I've seen most of these multiple times; ALWAYS cracks me up.
ripley1423
Sad Dog Diary is hilarious, as well.
CUZ UR NAME SAYS SO
I believe these little freaks were the inspiration for Furbies.
Noah Weisbrod yup
The Aye aye also looks a lot like a furby IMO
Val Cronin not small and round enough
Noah Weisbrod Ugly enough though!
Val Cronin no argument there!
"The tarsier has very large eyes.They are in fact the largest in relation to its body of any mammal."

'Lizard Has a Shitty Day'
-New York Times Bestseller 3 weeks in a row
“This incidentally is the cover of the children’s book, Lizard Has A Shitty Day.”
😂
I get that confused with “Ol’ Bug Eyes Had a Lizard Shit.”
"The tarsier is named for its long, impressive bone. In its ankle, you perv!" I'M DEAD!!!!! And actually, the bone is not just in its ankle, its tibia and fibula are fused. xD
"Holy crap, did you see that? Looks like some exorcist shi-"
Hahahahahaha xD I can't breath
"Whoa-hello there freaky..." -I can't 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The tarsier's name in Finnish is "kummituseläin", which literally means "ghost animal". I wonder why...
Same in Dutch, it's also called " spookdiertje " which means little ghost animal 😁
In German it's also quite similar, we call it "Koboldmaki", which means "goblin lemur" 🤣
.... European countries have tarsier in their language? An animal found in south east asia? Fascinating
@@jayg9087 I would assume tourism? We get a lot of tourist who visit just to see them
@@rumblefish9 I'd assume european colonists and biologist, but, tourists sound good.
Or maybe they used internet, fuck history. Live the prezent.
Warning: Do not put any liquid in your mouth while watching zefrank videos. You will laugh uncontrollably and have a mess to clean up.
That is all.
I accidentally just breathed my root beer into my nose through my mouth because of this video. Let that tell you something. 😂
@@KingZealotTactics ...don't do that, don't be weird.
@@KingZealotTactics what did you do
Oh lord. I read this quickly and thought you wrote "lizard" and not "liquid"
Too late😂😂😂
"Remember to eat your vegeetables or else you'll look like this freaky tarsier."
XD Best quote ever.
I almost could not breath for a few seconds after he said that. He has a rare gift, IMO
Them: "Tar-si-air"
Me and everyone around me: "Tarsheer"
Tar-si-eh like it's French lol
Got cataract surgery yesterday and discovered this info about eyeballs. Watched Tarsier video like a wild person ... about 14 times.
Showed it to my optomitrist and he thought it was a hoot.
Thanks little guy!
I have tiny eyes, well, tiny compared to his...tiny round big little eyes...let me start over. How do they not get stuff in their eyeballs all the time? That's really what I was trying to ascertain.
fairy dust
mountaintruth1 OF COURSE! It all makes sense now......
When I saw the thumbnail for this video, first thing I thought: that little critter must have been the inspiration for Yoda!
I've only seen about 3-4 of these "true facts" videos... Love them! Can't believe there are so many! It's 4:30am and I'm trying REALLY REALLY hard not to laugh out loud xD
Did you finish watching them all yet?
Ditto!
I enjoy Zefrank Narrations, They make my Day or Night when I need a Good Belly Laugh. Thank You!
These little guys seem like a good example of convergent evolution. They remind me so much of tree frogs.
I bet you're fun at parties
I usually light something on fire. >:)
FlintSparked tree frogs and the Aye aye
"Holy crap did you see that? That's like exorcist shit."
Hahaha!!! I lost it there at 1:07
I could benge watch these all day every day. I wish *zefrank* narrated EVERYTHING!
"It disguises itself in the forest by pretending to be a small teddy bear. Undergoing a colonoscopy." Lmaoooo!
I really should stop drinking while he is talking... :D
Some pictures are in flash ☹️ I don't think that's allowed....
Siwon is that you?
It isn't. They kill themselves after being startled, so it's illegal.
+cookiezillaevan That sounds like a Tumblrian
+cookiezillaevan who kills them selfs after being startled?!?😫
+Magical Grim it's not quite like that. It's the flash blinds them and overloads their nervous system and kills them
so what happens when a tarsier is 4 months old?!
It flies away higher and higer through the abyss of space and time
...made a peepee
eaten by eagle
I just discovered this channel and love it 🧡🧡 I’m giggling at how most foreigners pronounce tarsier as “tar-si-yey” 😂😂 we literally just say it as “tar-shir” here
Haha, he also mispronounces some words on purpose, you know, for the effects. Like, Byird instead of Bird.
Ohh I thought it was pronounced Tar-seer. Thanks for the information!
I heard that they commit suicide by holding their breath.
Also, did you know that they're endangered?
Also, I only heard these somewhere, might not be entirely true since my memory is only slightly better than a goldfish that's high on seaweed. At least I try. That is how ZE R0 do.
He's pronouncing it french style, I believe.
yes, we call it MAUMAG in cebuano
1:45 At 4 months old it can do what!??
These things are frickin Gremlins.
I’ve seen these tasiers in Bohol, the Philippines, and they have the softest fur you have ever felt, and move from one tree to another in a blink of an eye.
Tarsier is not only in Philippines
@@maryjenvalvazor935 no one said it is only from the Philippines?
"Lizard Has A Shitty Day"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Woah...hello there, freaky."
This narration is the bomb. xD
Lizzard has a shitty day!!! LOLOLOL!!!
You should have your own tv show. This combination of comic relief and animals strikes a me to the core. My two favorite things
The subtitles spell tarsier different every time he says it. Now that's dedication!
How did he do that lmao
1:33: " This incedently is the cover of a childrens' book Lizzard has a louzy day..." . I lost it.😆❤
I need to find this book,,

Noobelli you’re awful.
Please! Please! Please! Make more of these videos. They are best of all things interesting and fun. Your way of describing these creatures is awesome.
My god, I died when he said
"It blends in by disguising itself as a small teddy bear... undergoing a colonoscopy.
xDDDDD
WARNING: Remember not to eat food while watching zefrank--something I forgot and nearly choked LMAO....
I was shown this vid in highschool and it never gets old
I actually wasn't sure how accurate ur info is....until my book confirmed it. =O I'm learning about the evolution of primates and it was much easier to remember about tarsiers because of you- I literally remembered everything you said in this video because it was so funny!
Thanks!
0:09 "I love you, tree... I love you so much..."
The fact that im a filipino and the way he pronounces “Tarsier” triggers me
But the facts make it funny
It's a gag. He pronounces words and names strangely on purpose. It's part of the joke.
Crazy Cookie ik, thats the whole POINT
Samee lmaoo
Maybe he's French? ;-)
Same
That's the cutest lil gremlin I ever did see! Too funny! Lol 😂😂😂
"...you may not have noticed..." LMFAO
It’s been two hours now and I’m still on this channel. Mean while I have a essay to write
Oh my god I'm crying . . . "It's too creepy" omfg
They’re adorable, but this was hilarious. 😂🤣😂
"A teddy bear undergoing a colonoscopy..." LMAO
They are both creepy and cute at the same time. It's the hands that freak me out 😬
I had a dream about a kingdom overrun by tarziers in which they worshipped them and set their whole city to the sound of grizzly bear’s music (which i fell asleep listening to) in the dream people called tarziers 12:42’s cuz that’s when they came out. This was like ten years ago but I remember it so vividly
My fave animal ever, too darn frigging adorable ♡
Me pronouncing Tariser: TEAR sear
The animal's name: tar see AIR
omg i just discover his videos and i cant stop watching..
The tarsier is actually suicidal and will bump its head on the wood, not eat for days, not breathe if they hear any loud noises. And tarsiers
are very territorial and one tarsier requires 100 acres of land.
I remember my aunt and my mom took a picture together with the tarsier, and the tarsier pooped at the exact same time the photo was taken. So there was a floating piece of tarsier poop in their photo together. That's great!
From the other comments I've heard they can burst an artery when exposed to bright lights or loud noises. So pooping might be the less stressful reaction.
i thought it's a documentary about baby Yoda ;)
The observations are strong with this one
I love Ze Frank doing 'True Facts', but he hasn't done one in a looooong time.
Oh, bless his heart. Woh I did see that. Thanks so much, Zefrank1. Hugs to the entire staff for these wonderful videos.
It’s like a hybrid between cute and creepy
Looks something like a real life mogwai (and that thought in turn makes me feel fkn old)
You sir deserve an award!! Too damn funny, please keep making videos :)
"Lizard Has A Shitty Day" - one of my all time favorites, right up there with "Goodnight Moon"!
You missed this: tarsiers kill themselves when they are stressed, and they are extremely easy to stress with noise, keeping them captive and touching them.
Seriously?
Apparently true, but not sure.
@@TheGuardDuck yes I researched it.
they are suicidal
Suicide in its finest
Seen a girl holding her beer with that same expression once.
Imagine waking up, looking out your window and you see this thing looking at you from a tree. Hello cardiac arrest!
I lost it when he started laughing lol
"It would probably just make a pee pee"
1:06 holy crap did you see that lmwo XD
the Tarsier wouldnt really think anything and would probably just make a pee pee
wow, its like we were watching the same thing :O
***** By changing your name to that, didn't youtube technically win?
no fu Not really. They wanted my REAL name. So that google+ would become the new facebook or twitter. The shit that they don't get is that we all hate facebook and twitter. We don't need a new fucking one.
