Hundreds of  species!

The Philippines is a tropical country with a 'Tropical rainforest climate'.

The high temperatures and the continuously high humidity the

 whole year through, make that there are 

more than 3500 species of plants and animals! 

Plants and animals are adjusted to the tropical climate and 

specific qualities of the tropical environment. 

Especially the tropical coral waters and the original tropical rainforests

 are the places, where hundreds of  

beautiful colored and sometimes rare animals live.

About the animals.....

In the waters of the Philippines there are more than 2000 different kinds of fish. Added to that figure, the country  counts about 200 different kinds of reptiles and 25000 different insects. The smallest monkey and the biggest fish in the world, 

they both live in the Philippines!

Spectacular is the colorful underwater-world. 

Every year many tourists come to the Philippines to one of the islands, 

where scuba diving brings them to this amazing underwater-world.  

 The Philippines can show you what a typical tropical country can offer in species of animals. Of course, not all animals are rare or specific for the Philippines. That is for sure if you take the carabao, the cocks or the lizards.
