Name: Philippine spotted deer
Description: The Philippine spotted deer is a small deer
not much larger than some dogs, being about 80 cm.
Fun Facts: It is found in forests, preferring areas where
natural disturbances such as fires or landslides opened the forest
canopy and allowed young plants to grow in the clearing. It was
formerly found from sea level to the mountaintops. The decline of
the Philippine spotted deer is due to hunting pressure as well as
habitat loss due to clearing for agriculture and bad practices from
legitimate logging operations.
