[edit] Naming

tamaraw = timarau The Philipine word for this animal is timarau. There are hundreds of indigenous languages in the Philipine islands, but the term 'timarau' would probably be most recognizable.

picture? ~~

[edit] National Animal

The National Animal of the Philippines is the Tamaraw. It was changed by the Philippine Congress.

Nah, I'm not really too big on GA stuff. I've been busy on my thesis the past few weeks, but I'm going to see what I can do to get this baby up to PR -> FA. GA isn't really necessary for FA. But we seriously need pictures. Right now, there are big glaring holes that I'd like to fill in first. Anatomy, morphology, ecology, population history and dynamics, a distribution map, evolutionary history and systematics. Shrumster 16:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmmmm...send me wikipedia email so I can give you the contact info of our friends at DENR. They should be able to direct you to the right people or direction. --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 20:49, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
