Hi Irish, please consider adding this to the Philippine Endemic species mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8621...
hi karen, thank u for the comment this was captured during sampling but was released after doing some measurements.
He's so cute. Thanks for helping him out. Had he been captured or injured?
I've been to Siquijor ( I'm from Dumaguete/Silliman Univ.)- it's so lovely there.
deleted it instead. sorry just a newbie...thanks for the comment.
Hi Irish. Is this bat captive?
Btw, the mission "Signs of Wildlife" is not appropriate for this spotting. That mission is for spottings of, for example, animal tracks or even remains. Kindly edit your spotting, ok?
