Abstract
The early postnatal development of Tarsius bancanus borneanus was observed in two cases, stressing diverse developing behavioral patterns. One social role of secretion of the circumoral gland [Sprankel] became evident. The observations elucidated the function of the different senses during the first months in the life of a Tarsier. Social aspects, feeding behavior, locomotion and play form the main parts of this study.Keywords
