The Tarsier is a small species of primate that inhabits the well-vegetated forests of a number of islands in southeast Asia. Although fossil records show that Tarsiers once could have been found in mainland Asia, Europe, North America, and Africa, modern Tarsiers are today restricted to just a handful of islands in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the southern Philippines. These fossil records show that Tarsiers have existed for 55 million years, and have had very few developmental changes in the last 45 million years.

Hansa Toys stand apart from the competition because of the quality, attention to detail, and pin point accuracy of specific animal characteristics that are used in each production. Artists create each Hansa animal from portraits of the creature in its natural habitat. Hansa meticulously hand-cuts and trims the coats of each animal, never by machine, and they have specially trained Hansa artisans to create the subtle colouring on the animals by hand painting or airbrushing. On average, there are 42 separate pieces required to make each animal. Some animals have as many as 240 different parts!
