Deer #2 : Calamian Hog Deer



Com.name: Calamian hog deer, calamian deer
Sci.name: Axis calamianensis
Classification: Mammals
Family: Deer
Location/Origin:
Calamian Hog Deer is a species of deer found only in the Calamian Group of Islands of Palawan province of the Philippines.
Description:
The Calamian Deer, Axis calamianensis also known asCalamian Hog Deer is a species of deer found only in the Calamian Group of Islands of Palawan province of the Philippines. It is one of three species of deer native to the Philippines. A typical height for males of 60-65cm has been reported. Males have three-tined antlers. Unlike the hog deer (Axis porcinus) of the Asian mainland, their fawns are not spotted at birth. There are few natural predators except for birds of prey and pythons.

Pangolin #1 : Palawan Pangolin



Com.name: Philippine Pangolin, malintong
Sci.name: Manis culionensis
Classification: Mammals
Family: Pangolin
Location/Origin:
Malintong(Manis culionensis) is a pangolin species endemic to the Palawan province of the Philippines.
Description:
The Philippine Pangolin orPalawan pangolin also known as the Malintong (Manis culionensis) is a pangolin species endemic to the Palawan province of the Philippines. Its habitat includes primary and secondary forests as well as surrounding grasslands. This species is moderately common within its limited range but is at risk due to heavy hunting. The species was first described by Casto de Elera in 1915; it was also mentioned by de Elera in an 1895 work. In the past, this species has been included with Manis javanica but has been considered a distinct species since 1998. Five distinct morphological characteristics involving the skull and the scales have been identified which separate it from the closely related Manis javanica. Both M. javanica and M. culionensis are grouped in subgenus Paramanis. Genetic isolation leading to the speciation between these species is hypothesized to have been caused by rising sea levels severing a land bridge from Borneo in the Early Pleistocene.

hehehe saonz unggoy man japun tang tanan~ unggoy!!! wahahaha proud to be a monkey~

kuan, Not threatened btw ni sila but maybe padung na ana nga category, nihit ni sila pangetaon since hilig mu tago (as shown in jessica soho), poached for their hide as blingy, as pets or as food (kybw ka aning pinoy, kan.on halos tanan) well, nara n2 , humans, ang maka decide sa ilang fate mah iLL or ma Good hehe taka lang engilsh~~~~

Primate #2 : Crab-Eating Macaque



Com.name: ungoy,Philippine monkey
Sci.name: Macaca fascicularis fascicularis
Classification: Mammals
Family: Primates
Location/Origin:
Primarily an arboreal macaque native to Southeast Asia.
Status: Least Concern
Description:
The scientific name of the Crab-eating Macaque is Macaca fascicularis. Macaca comes from the Portuguese word macaco, which was picked up from makaku, a Fiot (West African language) word (kaku means 'monkey' in Fiot). Fascicularis is Latin for 'a small band'. Sir Thomas Raffles, who gave the animal its scientific name in 1821, did not specify what he meant by the use of this word although it is presumed it had something to do with his observation of the animal's colour. The common name of this animal varies. It is commonly referred to as the Long-tailed Macaque because the tail of this macaque is usually about the same length as its body and because its long tail distinguishes it from most other macaques. The species is also commonly known as the Crab-eating Macaque. Another common name for M. fascicularis is the Cynomolgous Monkey, which literally means "dog-milker" monkey, which is the name most commonly used for these animals in laboratory settings. In Indonesia, M. fascicularis and other macaque species are generically known as kera, possibly because of the high-pitched alarm calls they give when in danger ("krra! krra!"). Depending on sub-species, the body length of the adult monkey is 38-55 centimetres (15–22 in) with comparably short arms and legs. The tail is longer than the body, typically 40–65 cm (16–26 in). Males are considerably larger than females, weighing 5-9 kilograms (11-20 lb) compared to the 3–6 kg (7-13 lb) of female individuals. Macaca fascicularis is a very social animal that lives in groups anywhere from 5-60+ animals. These groups are multi-male groups, normally containing 2-5 males and 2-3 times as many females. The number of immature is usually comparative to the number of females. Their group size often depends on the level of predation and availability of food. Their groups are female-centred, as the females are philopatric (i.e. remain in one place across generations) and the males move in and out of these female-based groups. Males generally first emigrate from their natal group at the age of 4-6. They will remain in a group up to four or five years and thus will emigrate several times throughout their life. These monkeys are highly despotic and have a strict dominance hierarchy. Adult males rank higher than females. Female ranks are more stable than males, as males from time-to-time will be defeated and lose rank. High-ranked males generally are more successful at reproduction and high-ranked females generally fare better at raising surviving offspring. The females are organized into matrilines, which are the female-based families consisting of the resident females and their offspring. Matrilines are ranked and some families have greater social power than others and this difference in rank is maintained over several generations. Matrilineal overthrows rarely occur and when they do they have severe consequences to the reproductive success of the defeated matriline in the following year. After a gestation period of 167–193 days, the female gives birth to one infant. The infant's weight at birth is approximately 350 grams(12 oz). Infants are born with black fur and this fur will begin to turn to a yellow-green, grey-green, or reddish-brown shade (depending on the sub-species) after about three months of age. It is suggested this natal coat indicates to others the status of the infant and other group members treat infants with care and rush to their defence when distressed. Newly immigrated males will sometimes commit infanticide on infants not their own, and high-ranked females sometimes kidnap the infants of lower-rank females. These kidnappings usually result in the fatality of the infants, as the other female usually is not lactating. Young juveniles stay with the mother and relatives mainly, and as male juveniles get older they become more peripheral to the group. Here they play together forming crucial bonds that may help them when the emigrate from their natal group. Males that emigrate with a partner seems to be more successful than those that move off alone. Young females on the other hand stay in the centre of the group and become incorporated into the matriline they were born into. Results of a research shows that male Crab-eating Macaques will groom females in order to get to mate. The study found that a female has a greater likelihood to engage in sexual activity with a male if he had recently groomed her, compared to males who had not groomed her. The crab-eating Macaques's diet is not limited to crabs: They are opportunistic omnivores, meaning they eat a variety of animals, plants, and other materials. Although fruits and seeds make up 60 - 90% of the dietary intake, they also eat leaves, flowers, roots and bark, and also prey on vertebrates (including bird chicks and nesting female birds, lizards, frogs, fish), invertebrates, and bird eggs. Although the species is ecologically well-adapted in its native range and possess no particular threat to the overall populations of prey species, in areas where the Crab-eating Macaque is non-native it can pose a substantial threat to biodiversity.
