What exactly does this mean? According to an investigative report by CNN, this spot has “nearly 60% of the world’s known shore fish, as well as over 300 species of coral.”
A closer look in the islands will reveal rich flora and fauna with over 7, 492 species of plants, birds, amphibians, reptiles and mammals.
Alongside this rich biodiversity are national treasures with out-of-this-world qualities that can only be found in the Philippines.
According to topten.ph, an online trivia site, there are recently discovered bizarre creatures in the country, among them Flying Dragons.
