In 2000, a living population of T. pumilus was found in the central Sulawesi, proving that the species still existed. The species is also distinct as the 3 specimens were found in much higher altitude compared to other Sulawesi tarsier species. They compared the T. pumilus to the Tarsius Dianae species as they believed that they must also travel longer distances at night in order to find their prey

lion’s who don’t possess retractable claws anymore, or the koalas that have developed fingerprints which are indistinguishable from humans and platypus have beaks but they are mammals.

This led to the current assumptions that species have a definite area of origin, achieve a broader region of distribution, and then become modified or produce descendent species in other regions (Laughlin 2015). This again relates to Wallace’s observation that species reproduce rapidly and without being checked will rapidly expand
