00:00There are animals that are the most common, but there are also classes of animals that if there are too many in one place,
00:06that it is not natural habitat, it is also harmful to the environment.
00:10What is the difference between endemic and invasive animals in wildlife?
00:15That's right, brother Kim.
00:17The story of public affairs that Doc Nielsen Donato is talking about in the program Born to be Wild.
00:23In an old fountain in Batangas, there are piles of frogs.
00:34Oh my God, so many.
00:38All these frogs, it's like a plague.
00:43We saw more than 50 frogs here.
00:53Some are gathering in one corner, some are swimming, enjoying the water.
01:00Some are clinging, and some also want to be alone.
01:04According to Kagawad Mar, the frogs go to the fountain because of the insects they eat.
01:11When we saw that there were so many, we wondered where they went.
01:16They climb the stairs, for example, at night because they want to get food like insects.
01:26Once they get in there, it's like a death trap for them.
01:30It's like he's casting out the dead.
01:33Oh my God, so many.
01:36All these frogs, it's like a plague.
01:40Cane toads are an invasive species, that's why they are not welcome here.
01:45They are native to Central and South America.
01:49They secrete poison from their parotid organs.
01:53Cane toads are an invasive species, that's why they are not welcome here.
01:56They are native to Central and South America.
02:00They secrete poison from their parotid organs.
02:05When I step on it, something will jump out.
02:08So many.
02:09That's the defense of these frogs, that's why they grow so fast.
02:13When it starts to rain, the frogs start to make noise in the forest.
02:20We are with MJ.
02:22They catch frogs to eat, as an additional source of protein.
02:28What you can see here is what we call a naked frog.
02:33It's called a tooted frog.
02:35It's called a tooted frog.
02:36It's called a tooted frog.
02:37The first thing we saw were the invasive cane toads.
02:43A reminder that even here in Mindoro, they have already arrived.
02:48They have already caught our native frogs.
02:53And in another bag, there are bullfrogs.
02:57Later on...
02:59There are more.
03:00There are more.
03:02Let's see what they will do.
03:05Toads are usually in the land, but they can also be amphibious.
03:11They can be in the water.
03:13From my observation of the native frogs, it seems that they are now a hybrid of different species of frogs.
03:19According to the expert, this is possible.
03:22Based on a lot of research done by our biologists, especially the biopathologists,
03:28what you can see here are species of frogs.
03:32It's a combination, a mixture of both native and native species.
03:38And there is also what you call an alien species.
03:43Native wildlife can be extinct if there are a lot of invasive species.
04:08To be continued...
