Bubalus is a genus of bovines that was proposed by Charles Hamilton Smith in 1827. This genus comprises the following living species:
The tamaraw or Mindoro dwarf buffalo is a small hoofed mammal belonging to the family Bovidae. It is endemic to the island of Mindoro in the Philippines, and is the only endemic Philippine bovine. It is believed, however, to have once also thrived on the larger island of Luzon. The tamaraw was originally found all over Mindoro, from sea level up to the mountains, but because of human habitation, hunting, and logging, it is now restricted to only a few remote grassy plains and is now a critically endangered species.
The genus Chrotomys contain a unique group of rodents found only in the Philippines, specifically the islands of Luzon, Mindoro, and Sibuyan. Instead of being predominantly herbivorous or omnivorous like other murines, these rats feed predominantly on invertebrates although they do eat some vegetable matter. This vermivory is probably the result of a rat-like animal moving into an ecological niche usually filled by shrews. Shrews and other insectivores are absent on these Philippine islands.
The Philippine crocodile, also known as the Mindoro crocodile, the Philippine freshwater crocodile, the bukarot in Ilocano, and more generally as a buwaya in most Filipino lowland cultures, is one of two species of crocodiles found in the Philippines; the other is the larger saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus). The Philippine crocodile, the species endemic only to the country, became data deficient to critically endangered in 2008 from exploitation and unsustainable fishing methods, such as dynamite fishing. Conservation methods are being taken by the Dutch/Filipino Mabuwaya foundation, the Crocodile Conservation Society and the Zoological Institute of HerpaWorld in Mindoro island. It is strictly prohibited to kill a crocodile in the country, and it is punishable by law.
The Cebu tamaraw is a fossil dwarf buffalo discovered in the Philippines, and first described in 2006.
The Mindoro scops owl is an owl that is endemic to Mindoro, Philippines. There are no sub-species.
The Mindoro climbing rat or Mindoro rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in the Philippines, and is known only from Ilong Peak in the Halcon Mountains. It is the only species in the genus Anonymomys. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Mindoro striped rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in the Philippines.
The Mindoro black rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found only in hilly and forested areas of Mindoro island, Philippines.
The Mindoro hornbill is a species of hornbill in the Bucerotidae family. It is endemic to forests on Mindoro in the Philippines. As is the case with all Philippine tarictic hornbills, it has been considered a subspecies of P. panini. It is the only tarictic hornbill where both sexes are creamy-white and black. The sexes are very similar, differing primarily in the colour of the ocular ring. It is threatened by habitat loss, and is consequently considered endangered by the IUCN.
The Philippine hawk-owl is a species complex of owls in the family Strigidae. They are all endemic to the Philippines.
The Mindoro imperial pigeon is a bird species in the family Columbidae. It is endemic to the Philippines.
Styloctenium is a genus of stripe-faced fruit bat in the Pteropodidae or (megabat) family. It comprises the following species:
The Mindoro stripe-faced fruit bat, nicknamed the "flying fox" for its foxlike face, is a species of large Philippine megabat. It is endemic to the island of Mindoro. The Mindoro stripe-faced fruit bat ranked sixth in the top ten species of 2008, selected by the International Institute for Species Exploration.
The Mindoro hawk-owl or Mindoro boobook is a species of owl in the family Strigidae. It is endemic to the Philippines.
Sybra is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
The Mindoro racket-tail is a species of parrot in the Psittaculinae family. It was formerly considered conspecific with the blue-crowned racket-tail.
Sybra ordinata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Bates in 1873.
Callimetopus mindorensis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Dela Cruz and Adorada in 2012.
The Mindoro narrow-disked gecko is a species of gecko. It is endemic to the Philippines.
