Wildlife in Calauit & the Calamian Islands
Palawan
The Calamian Islands, north of Palawan, are the only home of the Calamian deer. Calauit Island is best known as a safari park where African giraffes and zebras were introduced in 1977, but it is also a refuge for native wildlife, including Calamian deer, Palawan bearded pigs and Philippine mouse-deer. The giraffes and zebras are introduced animals, not part of the wild Philippine fauna.
