Description

The Rufous-headed Hornbill survives in Negros and Panay Islands (extinct in Guimaras). It eats fruit of forest trees and needs tall tress to survive. It is only group of birds that seals the female inside a tree hole leaving a small opening enough for it to extend its bill and receive food. At this time, it is totally dependent on its mate for food. Hornbills are loyal to their mate for life.

The little golden-mantled flying fox is one of the smallest species of fruit bat, weighs about 200 g (7 oz) and has a wingspan of about 76 centimetres (30 in). The fur on its body is golden brown and it often has a paler head and mantle. This bat has claws on its feet and one (its thumbnail) on the end of its wings.

Description

The Visayan Tarictic Hornbill is the smallest hornbill in the Philippines. Birds are sexually dimorphic, meaning the males look different than the females. The male has a creamy-white head and neck, a white upper chest, a reddish-brown lower chest and uppertail-coverts, and a creamy-white buff tail with a broad black tip. The bill and casque are blackish; the former with yellowish ridges. The bare ocular skin is pinkish-white. The tail and bill of the female resemble that of the male, but otherwise the plumage of the female is black, and the ocular skin is blue. During breeding season, the female is sealed inside a tree hole leaving a small opening enough for the male to extend its bill and deliver food to the female.

Description

The large flying fox is among the largest species of bat. It weighs 0.65–1.1 kg (1.4–2.4 lb) and has a wingspan of up to 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in). Its head-body length is 27–32 cm (11–13 in). Its forearm length is 180–220 mm (7.1–8.7 in)[4] As is common with most megabats, it has a fox-like face. It lacks a tail and has pointed ears. The hairs on much of its body are long and woolly, but are shorter and more erect on the upper back. The mantle hairs tend to be the longest. The color and texture of the coat differ between sexes and age classes. Males tend to have slightly stiffer and thicker coats than females. Immature individuals are almost all dull gray-brown. Young have a dark-colored mantle that becomes lighter in males when they mature. The head has hairs that range in color from mahogany-red and orange-ochreous to blackish. The ventral areas are brown or blackish, tinged with chocolate, gray or silver. The mantle can vary from pale dirty-buff to orange-yellow, while the chest is usually dark-golden brown or dark russet.

The black shama is a shy, elusive songbird that occurs only in the Philippines. Males are blue-black, females are brownish, and both have black bills, eyes, and legs. They are gifted singers, producing complicated yet melodious calls lasting 20 seconds or more. The habitat of the black shama is the lowlands and forest foothills of the island of Cebu, but deforestation has reduced its numbers and they are now quite rare. © https://animals.howstuffworks.com/endangered-species/black-shama.htm

Description

It is known as the "hog deer" because when it is fleeing from danger, it dashes through the underbrush with its head down like a hog instead of jumping over barriers like other deer. These animals are crepuscular, meaning that they are active at sunrise and twilight. They rest during the warmer part of the day and then come out from the undergrowth to forage. Mainly solitary, they sometimes form small herds if left undisturbed. As with other deer species, Calamian deer are ruminants, meaning that they have four stomach chambers and chew cud. A soft, high-pitched, nasal call is their main vocalization. Their diet consists of shoots, twigs, and leaves. © https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calamian_deer

Description

The Cebu Hawk Owl is only found in the few remaining forest patches of Cebu such as Alcoy and Tabunan. The species was only described in 2012. Prior to that, it was only known from a single collected specimen in a British Museum. The specimen had not been described and the species was thought to be extinct. It was rediscovered recently and studied extensively for several years. Godfrey Jakosalem who did field work on the Cebu Hawk Owl and is one of the authors of the paper estimates that there are only 200 pairs left in Cebu. © https://www.tonjiandsylviasbirdlist.com/Birds-of-the-Philippines/Owls/Cebu-Hawk-Owl/
