Data on Biology and Ecology

Size:

The Philippines tube-nosed fruit bat has a wingspan of about 55cm (22").

Habitat:

The Philippines tube-nosed fruit bat is almost always found in primary, or good secondary, lowland tropical
rainforest. Known breeding populations generally occur in a narrow elevational band of forest near the tops of
high ridges and on the sides of tall mountains. The upper limit is about 1300 m (4300'). The lower limit used to be
about 600 m (2000'), but as of 1992 it was about 800 - 900 m (2600 - 3000') and was rising as the forest is
cleared. It is not found in agricultural or urban habitats
Panay, Negros, Leyte, Samar, Billiran and Bohol, but it was nowhere common. By
1993, potentially viable populatio
Status and Trends

IUCN Status:

1994: Endangered
1996 - 2004: Critically Endangered (Criteria: A1cde, B1+2acd, E) (IUCN 2004)
Countries Where the Visayan Warty Pig Is Currently Found:

2004: Occurs in the Philippines (IUCN 2004).

History of Distribution:

Little is known about the former range of the Visayan warty pig, but it was probably once
distributed throughout the central Philippine archipelago (the Visayan Islands). In 1987 it
was still thought to be found in the mountain regions of ns were thought to remain only
in the western mountains of Panay and in scattered fragments of surviving forest on
Negros.

Distribution Map (29 Kb JPEG) (Spec. Cons. Found.)

Threats and Reasons for Decline:

The major threats to the Visayan warty pig are population growth and the resulting
accelerating rates of habitat loss and hunting pressure. The habitat loss is due mainly to
the clearing of kaingin by landless peasants and indigenous tribal groups moving into the
Visayan Islands, but also to poor logging practices. Only a few percent of the original
primary forest remains on Negros Island (NFEFI 1998). Widespread political unrest, the
low priority accorded to conservation of the Visayan warty pig (because of the
agricultural damage it causes) and the depressed state of the Philippine economy are
contributing factors.

Data on Biology and Ecology

Habitat:

The Visayan warty pig is a forest dweller.

The Visayan warty pig is one of the species that live in the Philippines Biodiversity
Hotspot (Cons. Intl.).

Birth Season:

Piglets are usually seen in the dry season (January - March in the Western Visayan
Islands).

Birth Rate:

The average number of piglets is probably about 3 - 4 per litter.

Diet:

The Visayan warty pig's diet includes cultivated vegetables and fallen fruits.
 Social Organization:

The Visayan warty pig is reported usually to be found in groups of 4 - 5 individuals, with
groups of up to a dozen individuals seen occasionally. Solitary males are also reported
infrequently.
