Talk:Wildlife of the Philippines

Weird Sentence
"About 70 percent of the Philippines’ nearly 21,000 recorded insect species are found in the country."

What does this mean? It sounds like there are 21,000 species of insects that are "in" the Phillipines, but only 70% of them are "found" there! GeneCallahan (talk) 01:28, 26 February 2012 (UTC)


 * From the source, it mistakenly omitted the word "only". Original meaning was that 70% of the insect species were endemic.-- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  09:31, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
