Animals from Mindanao

The Philippines is home to a variety of neat animals that are not common elsewhere.

These are all in a friends backyard. I prefer animals be kept in the wild but these were living in captivity from a young age and really wouldn't make it on their own.

They had been pets of some of the local people who dumped them off when they became too much of a nuisance to care for.

The heron had a habit of pecking kind on the back of the head sending them running away screaming at the top of their lungs. He was a real character.

The monkeys loved to eat fish and Cris also had the fattest crocodile I've ever seen. The eagle had a neat way of flaring its neck feathers when you came too close.
