There were 82 species of birds, eight species of amphibians, 14 species of reptiles, and nine species of mammals observed. Data on the population estimates of the Endangered Limestone Frog Platymantis spelaeus is also presented. The Philippine Crocodile Crocodylus mindorensis is probably extinct in the area
