CITAZIONE
Tarsiers share some characteristics of both the prosimians
and the anthropoids, while maintaining characteristics unique
to themselves. Taxonomists have classified them as intermediate
between both groups and have assigned them to their own
infraorder, which has just one living genus - Tarsius
. Their
relatives in the fossil record are found going back to the
Eocene epoch, from 54 to 36 million years ago.

interesting that tarsiers are not related to any animal... that they are alone in the world

CITAZIONE
when kept in captivity tarsiers commit suicide by banging their head against the cage

CITAZIONE
The fact that tarsiers commit suicide when in surroundings they don't/know want to be in, and the psychological damage they in turn suffer from leading them to commiting suicide. Coupled with them being not related to anythng else (and the link this has with Cerpin/Julio) got me thinking about the suicide and why it happens, why he decides to do it.... does he feel trapped, feels he needs to be free, feels suffocated, feels hostage to something (the drug?)...
