00:00This creature with a long tail and a sharp tail
00:06surprised the residents.
00:10One of them
00:12can be seen hanging from the window of the house.
00:17And the other one
00:18was caught by the police.
00:25What will you do
00:26if you see
00:28ghostly creatures?
00:44In a house in Marilao, Bulacan
00:46you can see a row of chicken cages.
00:52In one of the cages
00:55there is a strange animal.
00:59This is a Marbled Water Monitor Lizard or Bayawak.
01:07In a small chicken cage
01:09its body is forced to fit in.
01:14Part of it moves in its cage
01:17and the Bayawak just rests.
01:20But don't get too close
01:24because if it gets angry
01:28it will bite you.
01:58It's to surrender.
02:00It's my intention.
02:01What is the status of the Bayawak that you saw?
02:04There are no wounds?
02:05None.
02:06You did the right thing, sir.
02:08Next time,
02:09this might not be the last time
02:11that you will encounter them.
02:12But the most dangerous thing for them is the bite
02:14because their mouths are dirty.
02:16It's not because they have venom
02:18but because their mouths are dirty.
02:22You can get infected if you get bitten.
02:25Another thing, you did the right thing
02:27by transporting the Bayawak.
02:30If you transfer it to a place like this
02:33the dog won't be able to bite it.
02:36Eddie was also worried
02:38by the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources
02:41or MENROMARILAU
02:42that is Dan Martin.
02:43If you see a Bayawak
02:45because you said there is another one.
02:48There is a picture of it.
02:50Yes, but we couldn't find it.
02:52If ever it reappears
02:53and you are the last one
02:55contact us
02:56and we will go there
02:58so that our team can handle the animal.
03:02The Bayawak is almost 2 meters long
03:06and has a width of 10 inches.
03:19It's big.
03:22It's a mouth.
03:26It's big and strong.
03:27Hold it here.
03:34It's heavy.
03:38Wait.
03:39Let's take it out first.
03:41It's a big Bayawak.
03:42You saw it earlier.
03:43It's mouth was about to open.
03:45It's ready already
03:46because of its two defenses.
03:49The first one is
03:50it flicked its tail.
03:56Also,
03:57we have to be careful
03:59with the slender ones like this.
04:02It's heavy.
04:03Okay.
04:04Go, go, go.
04:09This is okay in a way
04:10so that it won't freak out
04:15if it can't see anything.
04:17Let's make a hole.
04:18Let's make a hole here.
04:21So that it can breathe.
04:22For it to reach this size
04:24it means that it has a lot of food in this area.
04:26Maybe there are a lot of
04:28scavengers here.
04:29These are scavengers.
04:30They can also live
04:32in the leftover food
04:34usually in riverside
04:36or restaurants.
04:37It just so happens
04:38that we have a big flood
04:39in the past
04:40and it really reached
04:42this area.
04:45It's doubled.
04:55We brought it to a release site
04:57in Marilao, Bayawang.
05:03It's big.
05:05Before it went away,
05:06I examined the aggressive Bayawang again.
05:09It's injured.
05:10It seems like it already removed
05:12its teeth.
05:14This is unexpected.
05:16Yes.
05:18It already removed its teeth.
05:20There's one on the top
05:21and one on the bottom.
05:22It's gone.
05:23Look at its teeth.
05:25The one on the top
05:26is small.
05:27It's serrated.
05:28It's slanted
05:29even though it's small.
05:30That's why
05:31when it bites,
05:32it really sticks.
05:33The one on the bottom
05:34is already reduced.
05:36Maybe
05:37when it bit
05:38the bags
05:40or its metal cage,
05:42it really hit its teeth.
05:44I don't know
05:45if this was self-inflicted
05:47but those teeth
05:48are going to grow back.
05:50We just need to
05:52we just need to give this
05:54some antibiotics,
05:55treatment,
05:56and vitamins
05:57so that
05:59it can be helped.
06:01But this is big.
06:02Its body is okay.
06:03Its appearance is okay.
06:06Its skin, everything.
06:07There are a few scratches
06:09but
06:10generally
06:12healthy.
06:13I can release this back.
06:15Just wait there.
06:17It's big.
06:23From its small cage,
06:26it was able to travel
06:29through Bayawak.
06:39This month,
06:40a Bayawak was caught
06:42in the window
06:43of a house
06:44in San Pedro, Laguna.
06:47This Bayawak was temporarily helped
06:50by a resident
06:51named Lito
06:52in the cage
06:53of his birds.
06:56If the birds
06:57are active in their cage,
06:59the Bayawak
07:00is just quiet
07:01and resting.
07:03This Bayawak
07:04is still a juvenile.
07:07Because Lito
07:08took care of the Bayawak
07:09for only two days,
07:11he watered it
07:12from time to time
07:14so that it won't get hot.
07:16A friend of mine
07:17came to me,
07:18the owner of the house.
07:19He told me
07:20that there's a Bayawak
07:21in the screen,
07:22the curtain.
07:24He told me
07:25to catch it
07:26if I can catch it.
07:29I told him
07:30that if I can catch it,
07:32I'll force him
07:33to join his program.
07:36I think it came from
07:37its nest.
07:38I have a GMA,
07:39so maybe
07:40if I join the Emburnal,
07:43I'll be able to catch it.
07:44The timing was right.
07:46So this is our Bayawak, right?
07:48It's small.
07:50But usually,
07:51this is the one
07:52that can go through
07:53the holes.
07:55This is the normal
07:56size of a Bayawak
07:57that lives in Kisame
07:58because it looks for water.
08:00They're very inquisitive.
08:01They're very curious
08:02about their surroundings.
08:04They don't know
08:05the dangers yet.
08:06Danger, right?
08:07At the same time,
08:08it's very agile.
08:09It has a strong body.
08:10It runs fast.
08:20It's beautiful.
08:25Ouch!
08:34Just relax.
08:36Just relax.
08:38You see that?
08:39That's its tail.
08:40Let's let it go first.
08:43It's going to jump.
08:44It's going to jump.
08:45It's going to bite first.
08:46It's going to jump.
08:48And then,
08:50it's going to calm down.
08:51Right?
08:52The mouth is okay.
08:54There are no wounds.
08:56As for the tail,
08:57it's okay.
08:58It's going to heal.
08:59The best release
09:00is for these kinds of animals
09:02that don't have a damaged body,
09:04very agile,
09:05healthy looking.
09:07Release it right away.
09:09Don't let it stay in one place
09:12because they're still stressed.
09:14Let's transfer it
09:15to the rescue center.
09:17For now,
09:18we're going to leave it
09:19in the care of the rescue center
09:21in Laguna.
09:24Once the report
09:25of the Department of Environment
09:27and Natural Resources
09:28or DNR-Calabarzon is done,
09:30it will be able to return to the wild.
09:38In the destruction of the habitat
09:39of the bayawaks,
09:41they are wandering
09:42in the places of people.
09:44Not to get hurt,
09:46maybe they're just looking
09:47for something to eat
09:48or temporarily to continue
09:51until they can return
09:52to their natural habitat.
