Greatest Concentration of Unique Mammal Species is in the Philippines

A team of American and Filipino authors have concluded that the world’s greatest concentration of unique species of mammals is found in Luzon Island, Philippines. The 15-year project, summarized in a paper published in the scientific journal Frontiers of Biogeography, has shown that out of 56 species of non-flying mammal species that are now known to live on the island, 52 live nowhere else in the world. Most of the new species live in tropical cloud forest high in the mountains, where frequent typhoons can drop four or five metres (12 to 15 feet) of rain per year. Among the 28 new species discovered by the team are four species of tiny tree-mice with whiskers so long, they nearly reach their ankles.
