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.
