The Philippine Eagle (a.k.a. the Monkey-Eating Eagle because it is believed to eat monkeys) is the Philippines' national animal due to its size and rarity. It is endemic to the Philippines, which means that it cannot be found anywhere else. This eagle is currently critically endangered, but many wildlife conservation societies are breeding it to save it from extinction. A Philippine eagle couple stays together for the rest of their lives. If one of them dies, the other will find a new mate to replace the deceased one. Its diet is composed of monkeys, smaller birds, flying foxes, snakes, and lizards.
