List of Fauna in the Eastern Visayas edit

The islands of Samar, Leyte and Biliran were once a part of a larger island known as the Greater Mindanao. This is reflective of the status and both the flora and fauna of the region, hence, making the Islands of the Eastern Visayas to be under the Greater Mindanao Biogeographical region. Further evidence hereof can be observed by the shared faunal makeup in Mindanao and Bohol (i.e. Philippine tarsier, which can be found on all of these islands).

Sarus crane Antigone antigone Gruiformes Tihol Was not formally described by ornithologists. It was vividly described in the Historia de las islas y indios de Bisayas in 1668 by Fr. Alcina. The crane was about a yard (vara) and a half tall, with browning or dark grey feathers and having a good part of its neck up to its head colored in red. It was also described as larger than those cranes found in Spain.[6] By the end of the 19th century it can only be found in the Central and Northern Luzon. And the last confirmed sightings were around the early 20th century.
