00:00In a flood in a barangay in San Fernando, Papaga that was hit by an earthquake, the fear of those people disappeared.
00:21When caught in the middle of the flood, the demon was a crocodile.
00:26We were so scared because we've never seen an animal like that before.
00:31I told the kids, if there's water, you'll drown.
00:35We were so scared. Of course, there were kids here.
00:39In this Facebook Live of our neighbor, uploader, Hersi, a man was seen carrying this animal, a crocodile.
00:49It looked like a crocodile. I said, it looked like it was crawling.
00:54Wow, the people of San Pedro were caught.
01:07In a flood in a barangay in San Fernando, Papaga that was hit by an earthquake, the fear of those people disappeared.
01:15It looked like a crocodile. I said, it looked like it was crawling.
01:18It looked like it was crawling.
01:22On the morning of July 24, after the earthquake, a creature was seen in a barangay in San Pedro, Cutud, in San Fernando, Pampanga.
01:33Our guess is that it's about 3 feet long.
01:36It has a thick skin and a long nose that looks like a crocodile.
01:43Our neighbor Francis, or better known as Ram Ram in their area, admitted that he was also scared to hear that there's a creature that doesn't enjoy swimming in their river.
01:54It happened when the earthquake hit. It started at night.
02:00My cousin noticed that it's noisy at night.
02:05The next day, he noticed that it looked like a crocodile.
02:09That's why he told us that it's our neighbor.
02:18Crocodiles are reptiles. They have strong teeth with sharp teeth.
02:25They also have dry and scaly skin.
02:28Crocodiles can live in both land and water.
02:32They evolved to live in water.
02:37Their body adapted to living in water.
02:43Their ears and nostrils are closed so that water can't enter.
02:52If you look at the creature, when they open their mouth, you won't be able to see the inside.
02:58Their oxygen requirement is prolonged.
03:06If you ask them if they can live in flood water,
03:10they can live in bodies of water that don't move.
03:15But the question is, are crocodiles really the ones who said hello to San Pedro Cotud?
03:23Because of the crocodiles, Ram Ram's fellow countrymen were terrified.
03:28We were terrified because we've never seen an animal like that before.
03:33I told the kids, if there's water, don't drown because we don't know about water.
03:40We were terrified. Of course, there are children here.
03:43They also caught the crocodile.
03:53Oh my God, Ram Ram, what's that?
03:55Even if it's raining, at this moment,
03:58Hershey or Koka, Ram Ram's family member,
04:01are eagerly waiting for Ram Ram in his Facebook account.
04:04When I saw him carrying the animal, I was terrified.
04:10I told him, Ram Ram, maybe it's going to eat you.
04:13I told him that.
04:14Ram Ram, you look like a crocodile.
04:19In another video, Ram Ram and his fellow countrymen, Chester and Mark,
04:23were surrounded to catch the so-called crocodile.
04:26We were surrounded by mud.
04:28We were cornered by a small circle.
04:31At first, sir, we had a hard time because we were waiting for it to come out.
04:37Hey, don't do that!
04:40At first, sir, we had a hard time because we were waiting for it to come out.
04:45Hey, don't do that!
04:48We were terrified because it looked like a crocodile.
04:50That's why my sister was screaming.
04:53Ram Ram brought the last animal and put it in a deep container.
04:57At this point, they saw a lot of mud,
05:00which is not a crocodile, but a…
05:05Gar, what did you catch?
05:07It's an alligator, Gar.
05:09He said it's a crocodile.
05:10No, we caught an alligator, Gar.
05:14Yes, it's an alligator.
05:16No, it's not.
05:24That's when we found out that someone commented that it's an alligator, Gar.
05:30That's when we found out that someone commented that it's an alligator, Gar.
05:32It's not a person.
05:34Gar, you heard it right.
05:37An alligator, Gar, was the last animal caught in the flood.
05:41But wait, wait, wait, so it won't get confusing.
05:44This animal is called alligator, Gar.
05:47It's not a creature or alligator,
05:49if it's not a species of fish that has an alligator.
05:55That's it.
06:00Alligator, Gar, is a large species of fish native to America,
06:04particularly in the Southeastern United States.
06:06It's one of the largest freshwater fish in North America.
06:09Its name, alligator, Gar,
06:11was derived from its large mouth and lively teeth.
06:15And not because it's a living reptile.
06:18Their scales are not the usual scales.
06:22So it's very difficult to penetrate.
06:27Because it's like a bony creature with enamel,
06:31just like our teeth.
06:34And at the same time, it's interlocking.
06:36Alligator, Gar, is usually found in slow-moving waters.
06:42And most of the time,
06:45it only swims slowly, waiting for food.
06:49It can grow up to 6, 7, or 8 feet.
06:54Alligator, Gar can live in the wild for more than 50 years.
06:59Ram Ram's capture of Alligator, Gar,
07:02paved the way for people to get rid of their fears.
07:08Ram Ram and his companions are greatly appreciated.
07:13Wow, that's friendly.
07:14That's Gar.
07:15Is this it?
07:16What?
07:17Why me?
07:18That's not it.
07:19This is it.
07:20Oh, my God! That's Ram Ram!
07:22But how did Alligator, Gar, end up in the middle of the sea?
07:25Before we get to the answers to those questions,
07:28let's have a trivia time.
07:30Did you know that there are many stories in the Southeastern United States
07:34about Alligator, Gar?
07:37Once upon a time, there was a fisherman who caught a lot of fish in the river.
07:42Because of this, a powerful river spirit attacked him
07:46and turned him into Alligator, Gar.
07:49Now, he swims in the river all his life to protect the other fish.
07:54He also serves as a shield to others
07:56so that they don't get sick and maintain the balance of nature.
08:00There's also a story, Native American tribes,
08:02about a brave Alligator, Gar, who helped their ancestors.
08:07According to the story,
08:08whenever there's a big flood that will hit their village,
08:12there's an Alligator, Gar, who will guide people to a safe spot
08:16through the construction of roads through the floods
08:19using its big and strong body.
08:21Because of this, this Alligator, Gar,
08:23is considered a hero and a symbol of strength and guidance.
08:29Now, let's go back to the Alligator, Gar, that Ramram caught.
08:32How did Alligator, Gar appear to them?
08:35And where is it now?
08:36According to Ramram, the Alligator, Gar, that they caught is...
08:41There's a farm near our village.
08:43It's gone.
08:44It was taken care of by us.
08:46It's gone from Tomas's farm.
08:50Because it's owned by one of their relatives,
08:53they returned it to its owner.
09:09Here in this fishpond, Angelito takes care of its Gar.
09:20Up until now, I've raised it.
09:22Did you know that Alligator, Gar can breathe in both land and water?
09:26This is because of their modified swim bladder
09:29that allows them to get oxygen either from water or from the ground.
09:33Although it looks scary and Alligator, Gar looks scary,
09:37it shouldn't be scary
09:39because until now,
09:40it hasn't been attacked by humans.
09:43But according to the expert,
09:45it can still get wet when it rains.
09:48They're not a fast fish
09:50and will deliberately attack humans.
09:54It's advisable to not handle their eggs.
09:58They have a defense mechanism.
10:02For them to survive,
10:04their eggs are not palatable and have poison.
10:09Eventually, if people ingest it, it can be harmful to health.
10:14The best is to stay away from this kind of animal.
10:18If you want to see it,
10:20go to an aquarium or a zoo that has a display like that.
10:26A typhoon can bring a huge flood to anywhere.
10:32So beware, everyone.
10:33Why?
10:34Because of this,
10:35you might be surprised to see a flood of unknown creatures
10:39in your backyard.
10:43The best thing to do is to get to know them before you catch them
10:47and always be careful.
10:50Aha!
