SOUTHEAST ASIA’S RARE ANIMALS
From the legendary white elephants of Thailand to the mighty Komodo Dragons of Indonesia. From the elusive Koupreys of Cambodia to the playful Orangutans of Malaysia. From the majestic Philippine Eagle to the shy Saola of Vietnam. The Tamaraw, the Kancil, the Badak, the Harimau Malaya, all symbols of our nations.
They have graced our folklores and myths, even inspired our poetries. The mere sight of their images flame our pride. Hearing their names in international media almost instantly compels us to say: “Ooooh! That’s ours!” with great pride and dignity.
Extraordinary animals ONLY FOUND in our region.
Brought us pride and distinction from the rest of the world.

Philippines' Pride:
Filipinos are only ones who have them...
HARIBON(this should replace the bald eagle in the Philippine coat of arms, don't you think?)
TARSIER (symbolizes Filipino men - cute and cuddly... right, Pisanu?)
TAMARAW (should be brought back to where it should be - the Philippine 1 peso coin)
PHILIPPINE CROCODILE (they say you can never see this animal in the wild anymore - they've all gone to the halls of Congress and the Senate.)
JOSEPH ESTRADA (a ferocious beast we really cannot get rid off)
the cutie tarsier thats ours. hehe
Hahahaha! That's funny Marky! So, Philippines have hippos too huh? LOL
Travel! What's your name? I keep asking you dude. It's awkward to address you as Travel all the time. Hahahahha! Funny how you find that huge eye tarsier...I'm horrified by it! Seriously. Look like the scary Ay-ai, only smaller.
I just read in the papers a few days ago that there's a new species of mountain shrew that was discovered in Palawan. Google-ing it, I discovered that it is only found in Palawan. Soft downy fur, with a long, almost sharp snout and small eyes. hmmm... does it look like a hairy mouse with pursed lips? how i wish i can find pictures.
pisanu, tasiers are actually cute. cute. cute. CUTE!!!
hehe
they're just look funny when they turn their head 360. have u seen one?
they'd just look funny when they turn their head 360. have u seen one?
Luv the Tarsiers!!! They are sooo cute.. and so fragile... I feel bad for the Philippine eagle, I once saw someone smuggle one. :((
This is actually one of the reasons BISEAN exists...not too many knows what their neighbors have.
@ Markymd & Travel, Tarsiers are also found in Indonesia...but they never ever claim its an Indonesian monkey. Go figure.
Hey, we have one too you know... the Fat-nosed Proboscis monkey native to Brunei
hey
Irrawaddy Dolphins are also one of the rarest species.
They are found in countries of SEA and Bay of Bengal.
They are interesting animals. They have mutual relationship with humans as they help the fishermen to catch more fishes.
but KOMODO Indonesia is the most priceful instead nominated as New 7 World Wonders
