It is endemic to the Philippines, where it is found on Mindoro, Palawan, and the Calamian Islands. [3] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical mangrove forest.
The little raven is a species of the family Corvidae that is native to southeastern Australia.
