00:00It's not just humans, it's their own team.
00:10It's making a lot of noise.
00:12From now on, there's an action movie.
00:15In this kind of situation, will you let wild guests enter your place?
00:40It's so close.
00:42It's a rat.
00:45It's a rat.
00:56What if someone else lives in your house?
01:01It's not just humans, it's their own team.
01:05It's making a lot of noise.
01:07From now on, there's an action movie.
01:11From now on, there's an action movie.
01:15It's not just humans, it's their own team.
01:20It's making a lot of noise.
01:22From now on, there's an action movie.
01:25From now on, there's an action movie.
01:31Good morning.
01:32Good morning, Doc.
01:33Where did you hear the noise?
01:35Previously, we heard it here.
01:40The caretaker of the house, Marlon, couldn't sleep
01:43because of the constant noise.
01:47It's a dark brown car.
01:50How many are they?
01:51At first, we only saw one.
01:53When we caught the other one,
01:55there's another one.
01:57There's another one.
01:59So, they were forced to inspect the attic where the noise is coming from.
02:05This is where we'll sleep.
02:06So, let's go upstairs.
02:08I think I can fit in there.
02:14Oh!
02:22The attic is spacious.
02:23So, any creature can fit inside.
02:27They waited for the dark creatures to show up.
02:32Until they saw it up close.
02:36This house in Cavite is inhabited by unknown creatures.
02:41But what they think is a monster
02:46are Southern Luzon Giant Cloud Rats.
02:50Ah, there it is.
02:51It's a Southern Luzon Giant Cloud Rat.
02:53There.
02:54It has a baby.
02:55Its baby is stuck.
02:57They gave birth to a baby in the prison.
02:59In the prison.
03:00You only caught two.
03:02Then, it suddenly gave birth.
03:05There it is.
03:06Its baby is so cute.
03:08There it is.
03:09Its baby is so cute.
03:11It's so black.
03:13So, how old is its baby?
03:16I think it's more than one month old.
03:21They named it Marites and Sande.
03:24They are a couple of Cloud Rats.
03:30They were born in Bakura.
03:34In the prison.
03:37They can eat any fruit.
03:40They can eat any fruit.
03:49A family is incomplete without a cute little baby.
03:56In this small prison,
03:58the Cloud Rat is called Marites.
04:01They are not like ordinary rats.
04:04When they are born,
04:05they don't have feathers.
04:07But this one has feathers.
04:11No matter where the mother goes,
04:13she is always there.
04:18The Cloud Rat is still crying for its mother
04:20because it still can't get its own food.
04:25The owners of the house,
04:26Lenore and Alexander,
04:29want to relocate the Cloud Rats.
04:32Something bothered you at night?
04:34Yes, only during the night.
04:36Very much trouble under the roof.
04:39It's like a human being.
04:40It's like a human being.
04:42When we first arrived,
04:43we couldn't sleep
04:45because it was so noisy.
04:47But I convinced the couple
04:50to let the Cloud Rat family live in their Bakura.
04:55Because in their Bakura,
04:57there are a lot of fruit-bearing trees
04:59that can be used by the family.
05:01Perhaps to close all the holes?
05:04Not to leave.
05:05Directly connected with the humans?
05:08Humans, yeah.
05:09I also talked to the local people of the barangay.
05:13If we move them to the protected area,
05:17to the forest,
05:18when we bring these wildlife,
05:20they won't be able to inhabit the place.
05:22Their chances of survival
05:25will decrease
05:27compared to the area they grew up in.
05:31In a semi-wildlife farm,
05:33the Cloud Rat family chose to leave
05:37where they have a source of food.
05:44Of course, before every release,
05:46we need to examine the wildlife.
05:49Not necessarily that I have to handle them,
05:51but I'll try to look at them closely.
05:54Their fingers seem to be intact.
05:59No wounds.
06:00They seem to be very hot in their cage.
06:04They want to come out.
06:06The Cloud Rat family is healthy and active,
06:10so they are fit for release.
06:16Just a few more minutes.
06:18Not yet.
06:23Looks like the Cloud Rat man, Sunday,
06:26missed the tree.
06:32They are arboreal,
06:34so they usually just lay on the tree.
06:39Here on the tree,
06:40he will pick and choose the fruit to eat.
06:45The Cloud Rat mother, Marites,
06:48came out the next.
06:51Of course,
06:52her son is still naked.
06:56We were surprised that instead of a tree,
06:59Marites was looking for a place to make a nest.
07:02Finally,
07:04we found a natural nest
07:08for this male and his son.
07:11Here in this pile of old and dry wood,
07:16it looks like he prepared a nest
07:19because I saw him picking twigs and leaves.
07:22He is comfortable there.
07:24It looks like he likes it here
07:27more than in the cage.
07:36The Cloud Rat mother has a strong instinct.
07:40They will do everything
07:42to protect their son.
07:47This is the story of the Cloud Rat mother
07:50who was rescued by Paul.
07:52They were on the tree.
07:53When the tree was cut,
07:55it fell.
07:56They were already two when they were caught.
07:58The child was still very small.
07:59He was still hugging his mother.
08:01The mother was chased by a dog.
08:03She bit him on the neck.
08:05It looks like their son is big
08:08because you can't notice the difference.
08:11This is the mother.
08:13This is the son.
08:15Oh, this is the son.
08:17He is bigger than the mother.
08:20Obviously, the mother is healthy and active.
08:23The big trees are very important
08:26because that's where they live
08:28and they also have a big part
08:31in balancing the ecosystem.
08:34You can see that this child
08:36is not afraid of people.
08:40He is curious about me
08:42because he was taken care of
08:44for a while when I touched him.
08:55He bit my leather gloves.
09:04This is the mother.
09:08She is not used to people.
09:12Unlike Southern Luzon Cloud Rats
09:15whose feathers are black,
09:17Northern Luzon Cloud Rats' feathers
09:19are gray or whiter.
09:22Their colors are different
09:24but their defense is the same.
09:27Their teeth are very big.
09:29They can bite trees.
09:32Today, Northern Luzon Cloud Rats
09:34are still being observed
09:36before they are released.
09:42Even though the world is shrinking
09:44due to the destruction of the trees,
09:46they are still doing their job
09:48as seed dispersers.
09:53This way, they will have more trees
09:56to live on and fruits to eat.
10:02Aside from helping the wildlife in need,
10:05coexistence or living with the wildlife
10:08is what we should do.
10:10This way, no one will be harmed.
