The Philippines is an endemic-species hotspot: the Philippine eagle and tarsier, the tamaraw buffalo of Mindoro, the Philippine crocodile and the Visayan warty pig are found nowhere else. Offshore, whale sharks at Donsol and Oslob, thresher sharks at Malapascua and dugongs off Palawan make it one of Asia's best marine wildlife destinations. Day to day, AnimalDex users log house geckos, tree sparrows, ants and the paddy and garden insects of Calabarzon.
Seven thousand islands cut off from mainland Asia for millions of years produced a fauna that is mostly found nowhere else. Over half the country's mammals and a third of its birds are endemic, and the headline species, the eagle, the tarsier, the tamaraw and the cloud rats, look like nothing else alive.
The flip side is that most of that fauna lives in shrinking forest and takes effort to see. The everyday Philippines, as logged by AnimalDex users in Calabarzon, Metro Manila and the Visayas, is house geckos on kitchen walls, tree sparrows on power lines, apple snails in the paddies and a long list of moths, beetles and jumping spiders.

Kenapa lokasi ini penting
Halaman lokasi yang baik menjelaskan kenapa tempat ini layak dikunjungi, bukan hanya nama-nama yang cocok dimasukkan ke checklist destinasi.
The Philippines has lost more than 90 percent of its original forest, and the Philippine eagle, with fewer than 400 pairs, is the symbol of what remains. Every forest reserve visit and every logged sighting of an endemic is a small vote for the parks that still hold them.
The country is also where marine wildlife tourism is being worked out in public. Donsol's whale shark model, built on strict no-touch rules, is the one conservationists point to; Oslob's hand-feeding is the one they argue about. Knowing the difference matters before you book.

Philippine EagleA
The national bird and one of the largest eagles on Earth, with wild pairs in Mindanao's Mount Apo and Kitanglad forests and northern Luzon's Sierra Madre, plus a breeding centre near Davao.
Catatan spotting: Guaranteed at the Philippine Eagle Center; wild sightings need a Kitanglad or Apo trek and a guide.

Philippine TarsierD
The saucer-eyed nocturnal primate of Bohol, Leyte, Samar and Mindanao, best seen at the Corella sanctuary where wild tarsiers roost in the protected forest.
Catatan spotting: Near-certain at the Corella sanctuary; keep quiet and keep your distance.
Baca panduan spesies
TamarawA
A dwarf buffalo found only on Mindoro, with a few hundred animals left on the grassy slopes of Mounts Iglit-Baco.
Catatan spotting: Very rare; the annual count treks into Iglit-Baco are the only realistic route.

Donsol in Sorsogon runs regulated snorkel encounters with wild whale sharks from November to June, and Oslob on Cebu has a controversial year-round feeding operation.
Catatan spotting: Seasonal and good at Donsol; guaranteed but ethically debated at Oslob.

Malapascua off Cebu is the only place in the world where divers reliably see thresher sharks (the pelagic species, a smaller cousin of the common thresher), rising to the Monad Shoal cleaning stations at dawn.

DugongC
Sea cows graze seagrass off Busuanga and Dimakya in northern Palawan and around Mindoro, among the last Philippine populations.

Tips spotting
Tips ini dibuat agar halaman ini benar-benar berguna di lapangan, bukan hanya enak dibaca di layar.
- 01Choose Donsol over Oslob for whale sharks if the ethics matter to you; sightings are seasonal (best February to May) but the animals are wild and unfed.
- 02Visit the Corella tarsier sanctuary on Bohol rather than roadside 'tarsier shows'; the animals there are wild, roost at natural height and are not handled.
- 03The Philippine Eagle Center outside Davao is the guaranteed eagle; add a dawn hike at Mount Kitanglad with a local guide if you want a wild one.
- 04Turn on the porch light in any provincial barangay for the real Philippine list: tokays, house geckos, hawkmoths, rhinoceros beetles and jumping spiders.

Cara memilih pemandu satwa liar lokal di Philippines
- Tanyakan apa yang biasanya mereka temukan pada musim kunjunganmu. Pemandu yang baik memberi jawaban jujur, bukan janji pasti melihat satwa tertentu.
- Perhatikan cara mereka memperlakukan satwa: tanpa umpan, tanpa memanggil satwa, tanpa memegang, dan tanpa flash dari jarak dekat demi foto.
- Pastikan titik temu, durasi, ukuran grup, total harga, dan cara pembayaran sebelum hari kegiatan, termasuk izin atau biaya taman yang diperlukan.

Jawaban singkat dan langsung untuk pertanyaan yang biasanya ditanyakan traveler sebelum memilih destinasi satwa liar atau hari kebun binatang.
What wildlife is there in the Philippines?
Endemic Philippine eagles, tarsiers, tamaraw, Philippine crocodiles, cloud rats, warty pigs and hornbills on land; whale sharks, thresher sharks, dugongs, sea turtles and some of the world's richest coral reefs offshore. Everyday animals are house geckos, tokays, tree sparrows, monitors, pythons, fruit bats and a huge insect fauna.
What animals can be found in the Philippines?
Over 200 mammal species (more than half endemic), 600 birds, 250 reptiles and a marine fauna that includes whale sharks, threshers, dugongs and five sea turtle species. The animals users actually log most are house geckos, tree sparrows, ants, cockroaches, beetles and jumping spiders.
Where is the best place to see wildlife in the Philippines?
Bohol for tarsiers and fireflies, Davao and Mount Kitanglad for the Philippine eagle, Palawan for crocodiles, monitors, dugongs and reefs, Donsol or Malapascua for sharks. Mindanao and northern Luzon have the deepest endemic birding.
Is whale shark swimming in the Philippines ethical?
It depends where. Donsol follows no-feed, no-touch rules with wild animals on their own migration. Oslob feeds sharks daily to keep them in one bay, which conservationists argue changes their behaviour and health. Donsol is the better choice if you have a season to match.
