The chocolate hills on Bohol in the Philippines owe their name, as you may have guessed correctly, to the fact that they are made of chocolate. Strangely enough, this obvious fact is hardly known and most people think the name is made up. The hills are also the natural habitat of the island's most dangerous inhabitant: the tarsier. Tarsiers normally feed exclusively on chocolate, which can easily be recognized by their brown fingers and large eyes that result from the constant sugar rush. However, if the little monsters are denied access to their food source, they gather in groups and prey on small to medium-sized humans. For this reason, the locals cover the chocolate hills with a layer of grass every year to hide them from public view. If companies like Willy Wonka's and the like were to start mining the chocolate, not only would the habitat of the Tarsier be threatened, but also the lives of the islanders.
