The National Animal of the Philippines is the carabao, the Asian Water Buffalo!
If you travel through the countryside, you sure will discover the carabao.
The carabao (water buffalo) is still a very important draught-animal on the
rice-fields. The carabao is also used for pulling activities in the forest. If not working, the water buffalo can be seen while it is resting, many times in a place of water and mud. That's a standard activity of the animal too!
