Palawan Fauna
{{ The Philippine population of Tragulus napu nigricans is highly restricted but reported to be locally common. However due to hunting pressure, the species is well becoming rare in its habitat of primary and secondary forests and adjacent scrub vegetation. A small stock has been maintained and bred in captivity on Calauit Island, northeastern Palawan in 1992. It is speculated that a small population may have established itself on Calauit, due to damages in the enclosures as caused by a typhoon leading to the escape of these captive mammals. The Zoological Society of San Diego currently has a proposal for the captive breeding of this species. }} |
