00:00 On my visit to a recreational facility in Oriental Medoro
00:05 Even though animals are still living in the back of their cages
00:12 I noticed that some of the animals there are suffering from a disease
00:18 So I will examine the condition of the ogre, tiger, and bird
00:28 I will examine the condition of the ogre, tiger, and bird
00:30 I will examine the condition of the ogre, tiger, and bird
00:32 At first glance, it looks aggressive
00:40 It often shows its teeth as if it is ready to attack at any time
00:48 Even though it still climbs on the edges of its cage, it is suffering from a disease in its left hand, the nail
00:56 It is a wild instinct
00:58 Officials of the Calapan have rendered this
01:03 This is a picture of a resident of Calapan
01:07 When his wild instinct came out, the ogre escaped and attacked the children
01:14 The ogre was tied up for a few days
01:21 Now, its wrist is not moving
01:24 Now, its wrist is not moving
01:26 So, let's catch it and check its hand
01:28 So, let's catch it and check its hand
01:30 I'll do it
01:42 I'll do it
01:46 Hold this one
01:53 Let's do it
01:55 Relax
01:58 This is the wound from the previous incident
02:09 This is the wound from the previous incident
02:11 When it came to you, it was here
02:13 When it came to you, it was here
02:15 When I was observing it, it was limping
02:17 When I was observing it, it was limping
02:19 And then
02:21 It's not limping anymore
02:25 Because otherwise, it will get sick
02:27 If there is a bally, you will feel repetitions
02:29 If there is a bally, you will feel repetitions
02:31 Or if there is a misalignment of the bone, you will see it immediately
02:33 Or if there is a misalignment of the bone, you will see it immediately
02:35 But this one is not
02:37 It's really limp
02:39 It's like a bump
02:41 There is no wound on the hand
02:43 This is good
02:45 It only needs rest
02:47 It only needs rest
02:49 Usually, the previous owners
02:51 are the animals that are brought to the rescue center
02:53 Most of them are left behind
02:55 Most of them are left behind
02:57 when they become aggressive
02:59 or they can't take care of them
03:01 When a pet is born
03:03 When a pet is born
03:05 They will be able to see that they are friendly and caring
03:07 But as they grow older
03:11 Their wild instincts come out

06:03 You can't see that it's thin

10:43 In this video, people are in a panic
10:45 In this video, people are in a panic
10:47 Their biggest mystery
10:53 is a baby that is almost 2 years old
10:57 is a baby that is almost 2 years old
10:59 We are here in Santa Cruz, Laguna
11:05 We are here in Santa Cruz, Laguna
11:07 We got a report that
11:09 We got a report that
11:11 the fishermen found a baby
11:13 the fishermen found a baby
11:15 the fishermen found a baby
11:17 the fishermen found a baby
11:19 the fishermen found a baby
11:21 the fishermen found a baby
11:23 the fishermen found a baby
11:25 the fishermen found a baby
11:27 the fishermen found a baby
11:29 We also heard its loud hiss
11:39 He's a defensive mechanism. He's got a strong hiss or hiss.
11:41 He's got this behavior.
11:44 That means he's feeling threatened.
11:48 How did you catch him?
11:50 In the mud.
11:52 Did he get trapped?
11:54 Yes, we don't know what's inside.
11:56 This is the first time they see a fish pen where they're fishing.
12:05 I'll be able to catch him easily in the cage.
12:09 Because every bite of his tail is equivalent to a bite of a bat.
12:18 [Music]
12:34 He just whipped his tail.
12:36 His tail got injured.
12:38 Once you catch him, he becomes submissive.
12:43 Look at those digits. They're complete.
12:47 He doesn't have a right leg.
12:49 He has hind legs.
12:53 He has a lot of muscles.
12:57 These muscles are used for climbing trees, digging.
13:03 This is a male.
13:05 The tail of a bayawak can reach up to one meter.
13:09 It's made up of small bones and muscles.
13:15 With the strength of their tail, they can knock down their prey.
13:20 In my assessment, the male bayawak is fit for release.
13:26 Davao del Sur
13:29 A varanus kumingi or halok is early in the morning.
13:34 It's an endemic species of bayawak in the Philippines.
13:38 It's a strong species.
13:44 Before it can eat, it needs to cross the flowing water
13:50 to cross its feeding site.
13:54 With their tail, bayawaks can swim up to one kilometer.
14:07 They also last for half an hour in the water.
14:13 [music]
14:14 No wonder that bayawaks in Laguna de Bay can cross land.
14:34 The land here is far away.
14:39 It's possible that bayawaks can swim up to the fish pen.
14:43 It's inevitable that people will cross the land.
14:48 But now, many people know what to do.
14:54 In Rizal, a bayawak was rescued by Geoffrey
14:59 because he was afraid that it might eat him.
15:02 Bayawaks eat the chickens of their neighbors.
15:07 He put it in an aquarium and fed it.
15:10 Now, Geoffrey is living with Pedro Rizal.
15:21 In Quezon Province, a bayawak was transferred inside a house.
15:29 Bayawak? No, no, no.
15:31 Let's see if it's a bayawak.
15:35 It's a baby bayawak.
15:37 Look at that. We are going to release this baby bayawak.
15:42 Okay, we will put it here.
15:45 [music]
15:47 In my assessment, the bayawak is fit for release.
15:59 With the help of DNR, we will release the bayawak that Marvin caught in a protected area.
16:07 Ideally, when wildlife is caught in an area, it should be released there.
16:19 But like all of us, if we release them where they were caught,
16:26 they might be caught by humans again.
16:29 It's time to release the monitor lizard that we caught in Santa Cruz, Laguna.
16:37 I will cut the string on its beak.
16:40 Its body is still in good shape.
16:49 Even though it won't be able to find food here in the next few days,
16:54 it's still strong and strong.
16:56 It's moving slowly.
16:58 It's showing its tongue.
17:00 It's showing its surroundings.
17:03 [music]
17:05 Bayawak's tail is a weapon.
17:22 But this part of their body is more important for them to travel.
17:31 lalach bye.
