Endemic fauna of the Philippines

The tamaraw or Mindoro dwarf buffalo (Bubalus mindorensis) is a small buffalo belonging to the family Bovidae. It is endemic to the island of Mindoro in the Philippines, and is the only endemic Philippine bovine. It is believed, however, to have once also lived on the nearby island of Luzon. The tamaraw was originally found throughout Mindoro, from the coast to over 2000 metres above sea level in the mountains, but because of hunting and habitat loss, it is now restricted to a few remote grassy plains and is a critically endangered species.thumb|Tamaraw (Inside Philippine National Museum of Na

Crunomys is a genus of rodent in the family Muridae widespread to the Southeast Asian. They are mid-sized rodents, similar to rats, that live on the ground of tropical rainforests. There they build nests, padded with fallen leaves from trees. They feed on roots, fallen fruit, and other plants, as well as insects. All species are shy and avoid food from humans. == Taxonomy == This genus previously contained only four species, namely C. celebensis, C. fallax, C. melanius,C. suncoides, and C tompotika. Then in 2025 through mitochondrial and nuclear differentiation, the genus Maxomys which was con
