Field Notes
Description:
The Philippine crocodile (Crocodylus mindorensis), also known as the Mindoro crocodile or the Philippine freshwater crocodile, is one of two species of crocodile that are found in the Philippines, the other is the larger Indo-Pacific crocodile or saltwater crocodile (crocodylus porosus).
Habitat:
The Philippine crocodile is only found on the islands of the Philippines. This species of crocodile is one of the most severely threatened crocodilian species. There are roughly 250 left in the wild as of September 2011 according to an article by National Geographic.
Notes:
I'm so sorry to say but the island sells the meat as food in frozen pack at the preservation/farm area.
