| Name |
Cervus mariannus,
Philippine brown deer, usa |
| Distribution |
Throughout most
of the Philippines, and the Mariannas where it was introduced. |
| Habitat |
Primary and secondary
forest |
| Remarks |
This species
once common is now rare due to hunting and habitat loss except in
very isolated areas. It can be recognised easily by its hoof prints
(bakas ng usa) and by the off cut shoots that it leaves behind after
feeding, which were frequently seen in cassava plantations in forest
clearings on Patnanungan. |
