The mammalian fauna of the Philippine Islands is remarkably diverse and species-rich. As documented on this website, the terrestrial fauna is now known to include at least 206 native species (plus seven introduced species), in an area of only a bit over 300,000 square kilometers, one of the highest densities of native mammals in the world.

Scientists have discovered that in the Philippines, faunal regions were determined largely by the configuration of the Ice Age islands. We can map these configurations easily by drawing the shoreline as it existed about 20,000 years ago, when the seas were 120 meters below their present level. An entirely new image of the Philippines then emerges: "the Galapagos Islands times ten."
