In some classificatory systems, tarsiers are classified as prosimians due to their more primitive characteristics such as their reliance on scent marking and grooming with their teeth. However, in other classificatory systems, tarsiers are considered haplorhines because they lack a wet nose, have larger brain-to-body size ratio, and have a dry, fleshy pad on the end of their nose instead of a moist, leathery one seen in prosimians.
