The Philippine crocodile is another critically endangered species needing immediate protection6. It typically grows up to 8.8 feet. Notable features include a wide snout and durable dorsal shield. 

Endemic to the Philippines, this species dwindles in three regions, with fewer than 200 mature individuals, a decrease of 82%. Despite reintroduction attempts, an 85%-94% drop in adults exists over three generations. 

The species faces threats from habitat loss, persecution, and fishing net entanglement. High conservation dependence is noted - discontinuing conservation actions could result in extinction within ten years.
