The Philippine crocodile is a crocodile found only in the Philippines. It is also known as
the Mindoro crocodile and the Philippine freshwater crocodile. In the Philippines, it is
strictly prohibited to kill a crocodile, but its status is critically endangered from
exploitation and unsustainable fishing methods. Although this species was once found
over the whole of the Philippines, it is now critically endangered. In addition to this,
very little is known about the natural history or ecology of the species.
