Field Notes
Description:
The Philippine crocodile is one of the most severely threatened crocodilian species on Earth.
Though once widespread, less than 300 are left in the wild, prompting the IUCN to classify the species as critically-endangered.
Today, scattered populations can be found in the Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park in Isabela, Dalupiri island in the Babuyan Islands, the forests of Abra and Ligawasan Marsh in Mindanao.
Habitat:
Rivers, streams and marshes in the Philippines.
