Funny how the kukuk bird get attention to all of us Visayan people hehe

idola langgama beia, I can imitate it's sound

Good Evening guys! School is about to end... that means plenty of time to work upon adding new species and astounding fauna here in thy thread~

[istoy]

bai moy manghuwam ko ani na thread ha? ako project sa school hehe ok ra? ang credits sa imolang .tnx daan. mayta maka boehemi sad ta haha

Raptor #11: Philippine Falconet



Common Name: Philippine Falconet, Falconet
Scientific Name: Microhierax erythrogeny
Subspecies:
erythrogenys
meridionalis
Classification: Birds
Family: Raptors (Falconiformes)
Location:
Philippines
Found in Luzon, Mindanao, Negros, Bohol, Samar, Leyte, Cebu and Mindanao areas.
It is endemic to the Philippines.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
Status: Least Concern
Description:
The Philippine Falconet (Microhierax erythrogenys) is a species of bird of prey in the Falconidae family. It is endemic to the Philippines.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. Occurs, singly, in pairs, or in family groups, and stays in the canopy or upper branches of dead trees on an exposed perch.
Its size is 16cm long. about a size of a female African lovebird. Its main diet is insects, small lizard and small bird like house sparrow. Hawks prey from an exposed perch, usually a bare branch at the top of an emergent tree, capturing some in mid-air (dragonflies and small birds), some on trees (lizards), and others on the ground before returning to the original perch or a nearby one to feed. Like other falconets, this species does not hover or soar. Insects comprised over 99% of the diet and that dragonflies were the most frequently captured prey item. This species has also been observed feeding upside down on wasp nests.
It sometimes forages communally, perhaps in family groups, and observed as many as six individuals hunting from the same tree simultaneously. Nests are located in cavities in dead trees at forest edges from 6-8 m high

Cuckoo #1: Rough-Crested Malkoha



Common Name: Rough-Crested Malkoha, Red-Crested Malkoha
Scientific Name:Dasylophus superciliosus
Formerly Phaenicophaeus superciliosus
Subspecies: cagayanensis
Superciliosus
Classification:Birds
Family:Cuckoo
Location: Cagayan Province, North East Luzon
It is endemic to the Philippines. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
Status:Least Concern
Description:
Malkohas are large birds in the cuckoo family Cuculidae, all in the genus Phaenicophaeus. The group name is derived from the Sinhala word for the Red-faced Malkoha; Mal-Koha meaning flower-cuckoo. These are all Asian tropical species. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greekphoiniko- "crimson", and phaes "eyes" or "face", referring to the Red-faced Malkoha. However, the 'œ' was mistranscribed as 'æ'.
The Rough-crested Malkoha or Red-crested Malkoha (Phaenicophaeus superciliosus) is a species of cuckoo in the Cuculidae family. It is endemic to the Philippines. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

Primate #4: Philippine Slow Loris



Com.name: Bornean slow loris, kokang, "tarsier" (ain't a tarsier though)
Sci.name: Nycticebus coucang menagensis
Classification: Mammals
Family: Primates
Location/Origin:
This species is found in Brunei, Indonesia (Kalimantan Borneo, Belitung and Banka), Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak Borneo) and the Philippines (Tawi Tawi, Bongao, Sangasanga, and perhaps some other small islands in the Sulu Archipelago. Ethnographic survey records suggest local extinction in some islands in the Tawi Tawi group (Philippines), though the species is still likely to be found on smaller islands.
Status: Vulnerable
Description:
The Bornean slow loris or the Philippine slow loris was formerly considered a subspecies of Nycticebus coucang (Sunda Loris), but was elevated to the species level. The smallest of the Indonesian slow lorises, it is not only distinguished genetically from the others, but also by its pale golden to red fur, virtual lack of markings on its head, and consistent absence of a second upper incisor. Based on data collected from researchers in the field and old specimens from museum collections, claimed that this species is common throughout Borneo. However, loris ‘presence’ is usually not determined first-hand, and it also cannot be presumed that lorises still occur in areas from where they were once collected. The species actually seems to be very uncommon throughout its range, though it has a very limited distribution in the Philippines. In Kalimantan, a 3-month survey in a protected peat swamp forest (Sabangau National Park) revealed very low densities of slow lorises, 0.21 - 0.38 animals/km. When comparing this to other studies of Nycticebus, it seems clear that this species, when it does occur, is rare. Indeed, in 46,000 trapping nights in Kinabalu National Park trapped this species only 3 times, and noted that in nocturnal walks over five years, it was rarely seen. The species occurs in primary and secondary lowland forest, gardens, and plantations, at elevations between 35-100 m. According to interviews with local people in the Philippines, the species tends to be sighted in citrus trees (calamansi) and may be tolerant of a variety of habitats. It is nocturnal, and almost entirely arboreal. In Sabangau National Park, of four sightings of lorises, 50% contained two or more individuals, feeding together in the same tree (Callophylum hosei and Szygium cf. nigricans).
Burning of habitat and conversion, especially to palm oil plantations almost certainly represents a threat to this species. Although it is relatively adaptable to anthropogenic habitats, and so it might less affected by forest loss than some other primate species, forest loss has been so severe in the region that it is likely to have had some negative impacts. The species is collected locally for use as pets; subsequent uncontrolled release of pets in some areas is also a threat. This species is included in Appendix I of CITES and is protected by Indonesian law. Surveys to study the status of all populations, including those from the Philippines and other small Indonesian islands are required. Some forest fragments where the species occur remain protected. There is a particular need for field guides for this and other nocturnal Indonesian primate species, as they are often confused in rescue centers and elsewhere. The species occurs in a number of protected areas throughout its range, though its status there is uncertain.

threatened na diay ni. kaluoy pud.. Dugay nako puyo ug tawi-tawi, panagsa ra jud ko kita ug kokam.. mao diay ning gitawag nila mga natives nga kokam

threatened na diay ni. kaluoy pud.. Dugay nako puyo ug tawi-tawi, panagsa ra jud ko kita ug kokam.. mao diay ning gitawag nila mga natives nga kokam

yes sir, murag Appendix 1 na sya, meaning bawal ang trade ani commercially w/ or w/o papers. waparaba ko kita ani sa personal hehe, you happen to see one sir?
