Where to spot
Critically endangered and endemic to Cebu Island in the Philippines, found in a few remaining patches of limestone forest and secondary growth.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic hooting calls after dark in its specific habitat. Spotting it is extremely challenging due to its rarity and secretive nature.
