Philippine crocodile (Crocodylus mindorensis), Manila Ocean Park, Philippines; April 29, 2010.
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The Philippine crocodile (Crocodylus mindorensis), also known as the Mindoro crocodile, the Philippine freshwater crocodile, the bukarot[4] in Ilocano, and more generally as a buwaya in most Filipino lowland cultures,[4] is one of two species of crocodiles found in the Philippines; the other is the larger saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus).[5][6] The Philippine crocodile, the species endemic only to the country, went from data deficient to critically endangered in 2008 from exploitation and unsustainable fishing methods,[7] such as dynamite fishing.[8] Conservation methods are being taken by the Dutch/Filipino Mabuwaya foundation,[9] the Crocodile Conservation Society and the Zoological Institute of HerpaWorld in Mindoro island. It is strictly prohibited to kill a crocodile in the country, and it is punishable by law.
