WILDLIFE OF THE PHILIPPINES

Visayan Flowerpecker (Dicaeum haematostictum). This species is listed as Vulnerable because its population is believed to have declined rapidly as a result of extensive forest clearance.

Philippine Sailfin Lizard (Hydrosaurus pustulatus). Sailfin lizards are the ecological equivalent of the Australian water dragon. Their days are spent in vegetation overhanging the rivers and streams of the tropical jungles of the Philippine Islands, dropping into the water and swimming to the bottom at the first sign of approaching danger. They are excellent swimmers and their tail is flattened sideways to provide more propulsion through the water. Sailfins are omnivores, meaning they eat a wide variety of plant material, such as leaves, shoots, fruits, etc., supplemented with the occasional insect or crustacean.

Philippine Pangolin Anteater (Manis culionensis). Pangolins, often called “scaly anteaters,” are covered in tough, overlapping scales. These burrowing mammals eat ants and termites using an extraordinarily long, sticky tongue, and are able to quickly roll themselves up into a tight ball when threatened.

Freshwater Purple Crab. Four new species of crab that sport some wild colors have been discovered near the Philippine island of Palawan. The newfound species are threatened by mining activities in the region, which is one of the world's major biodiversity hotspots. About half of the species that live on Palawan are endemic, meaning they are found nowhere else.
