Lake Naujan

Lake Naujan lies near the northeastern coast of Mindoro, a broad freshwater basin fed by streams from the surrounding land. Its eastern shore rises steeply and has hot springs, while shallow waters and marsh plants spread along the gentler western side. The Butas River carries water from the lake to the sea. Waterbirds gather among its wetlands, and the lake was also home to the Philippine crocodile, a species named for the island of Mindoro.
