Rare Crocodile

I’m happy to pay for a photo than not be charged if I lose a finger.

I can name some rare animals that can be found in the Philippines. I didn’t know these freshwater crocs I saw last summer in Puerto Princesa, Palawan was one of them.

A  Philippine Crocodile doesn’t grow bigger than 10 ft, but saltwater crocs can grow bigger. Rio de Palawan is the biggest in the province at 17.5 ft, but Lolong is the biggest in the Philippines and even made it to the Guinness World Records at 20.24 ft in 2012.

Amazing Little Creature

Tarsier is one of the smallest primate in the world. In the Philippines, it’s famous to be found in the province of Bohol. When visiting Tarsier Santuary, strict rules are implemented like no camera flash when taking photos and to  keep quiet. These little creatures are very sensitive and will commit suicide when stressed.

Hang in there baby

Don’t be fooled by this innocent sleeping creature. These snow white teeth belongs to a relative of Godzilla!
