Visayan warty pig  (Sus cebifrons)

Range

Historically found throughout the Visayan Islands (the central archipelago of the Philippines), this species is now extinct over at least 98% of its former range, with the few surviving populations confined to fragments of remaining habitat on the islands of Negros and Panay (4). Two subspecies are currently recognised; Sus cebifrons cebifrons from the island of Cebu, which was exterminated in the mid-1990s, and S. c. negrinus from Negros. Neither the Panay animals, nor others from Masbate (assuming this population still survives), have been formally described and may represent additional subspecies (4).
