Chephalopacus Bancanus Saltatore is a scientific name for Horsfield's Tarsiers, which live in Belitung. The locals call these animals Pelile'an.
Tarsiers are small animals. It is said that the tarsiers are the tiniest primate in the world, due to their less than 150 grams weight. Tarsiers have a distinctive appearance with long tails which are longer than the entire body and big eyes that seem disproportionate to the little heads. Like every animal which has a tail, tarsiers' tails also function to maintain balance. Tarsiers' hair has a unique shade which is between greyish-brown to reddish-brown. They also have long hind legs that help them move from one tree to another. Their long legs are probably due to the elongation of bones in an area called tarsus, located around the foot. This is how they get their name.
Tarsiers are carnivores, and their favourite food is insects. Their big eyes help them scout for their prey, by rotating a complete 180 degrees.
Tarsiers are nocturnal animals, and like dogs, they mark their territory with their urine. Not only that, they are also just like bats. They communicate using ultrasonic waves. Tarsiers do not move in a pack, because they are solitary animals, but interestingly, just like wolves, tarsiers mate for life.
Sadly, right now there are not many tarsiers left in Belitung. Their population is declining because they are losing their habitat. There are many reasons for the habitat loss, but the main reason is because of humans who cut down the forest for palm oil plantations. Besides that, humans also destroy tarsiers' homes for mining.

Bees are insects that can fly. They are closely related to ants and wasps. Bees are known mostly for producing honey and beeswax and also for their role in pollination.
There are many species of bees. There are around 20,000 species from around 9 families. However, these are not their actual number because experts claim that their species and families are most probably more varied than that. Bees can be found anywhere but Antartica. It may be because they are insects that live in places that have many insects-pollinated flowering plants.
Every bee has a long tongue, which scientifically called a proboscis. Their tongues help them get nectar from flowers. Though male bees and female bees look almost the same, they can be differentiated by their antennae. The male bees have 13 segments in their antennae while the female bees have only 12 segments. All bees have a pair of wings, but some have short and hind wings while others don't. It all depends on the species, sex, and caste.
The smallest bee in the world is called Trigona minima. The workers from Trigona minima are only 2.1 long, and not all can sting. On the other hand, the biggest bee in the world is Megachile pluto which are leaf cutters. The females from Megachile pluto are around 39 mm long. The most common bees that can be found in the Northern Hemisphere are called Halictidae. They are also called sweat bees. They are often mistaken as flies or wasps due to their small size.
