Only two out of the 150 tarsiers in a conservation area in Bohol came out visible after having a traumatic experienced from Super Typhoon Odette that hit Visayas and Mindanao.
In an interview with "Unang Balita" to Bohol Tarsier Conservation Area Manager Jennie-Lee Dical she said, tarsiers usually hide behind rocks and big branches of trees during typhoons.
"Natakot din po sila. Mostly po nagtatago yung tarsier 'pag may ganyang sakuna. Nagtatago sila sa ilalim ng mga bato or nagtatago sila sa mga big branches ng puno," she said.
This most endangered small nocturnal primate with large eyes tarsiers has a suicidal instinct that may kill themselves just by hearing high-volume noises.
Meanwhile, four out of the 1,700 plus Chocolate Hills were seen collapsed due to Odette.
"Yung newly renovated restaurant namin hindi pa na-turnover basag lahat ng salamin at yung Chocolate Hills pavilion kung saan ngare-rest yung mga guests naming after umakyat. Yung sa viewing deck hindi siya totally damaged, yung wishing well lang ang natanggal," Chocolate Hills Comples manager Bernadette Adlaon said.
