00:00Good evening, Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim and I will give you a trivia behind the trending news.

00:09There was a big news last year about the birth of an elephant in our country, Mali.

00:15But for those who missed Mali, you have a chance to see him again.

00:20Mali's body was reserved to be brought back to his home in Mandilan Zoo.

00:25To all the trips, Ann is a truck driver.

00:31She says she's nervous here.

00:33Just one wrong move and her passenger might get sick.

00:36Her ride is unique.

00:39Dermi's body was reserved for the loneliest elephant in the world, Vishwamali, or Mali.

00:45A lot of people recommended Dr. Jason that I should drive.

00:49I'm happy. Of course, I was chosen.

00:52I'm nervous too. I can't make a mistake here. We will drive Mali.

00:56Ann will bring Mali to his home in Mandilan Zoo safe and sound.

01:03Kuya Kim, how do you preserve an elephant's body in a taxidermy?

01:07Kuya Kim, what now?

01:09Taxidermy is called preserving an animal's body that is dead to display or study.

01:15The skin is used by different chemicals to remove moisture and dryness.

01:19It is carefully arranged and placed in the form of an animal.

01:22To make it more realistic, it is painted or colored.

01:26In Mali's case, when he died last November,

01:29his body was brought here to Angkat Bulacan to be taxidermied.

01:33Dr. Jason is a veterinarian.

01:35When I heard the news about Mali's death,

01:40I immediately posted on social media any possible connection with Manila Zoo.

01:45A lot of people contacted them.

01:47We suggested that they contact us.

01:50For all of Dr. Jason's servants, Mali's funeral is the most challenging.

01:54We can't stop him, just like what we do to dogs and cats.

01:59We can see that he is decaying.

02:01The process needs to be continuous.

02:03That's when I decided to divide the team.

02:06That's why it took him a long time before he finished preserving the elephant.

02:10For dogs and cats, it took us 3 to 6 months.

02:13For Mali, it took us 11 months.

02:17Until December 16,

02:19he was led by Anne's group to go to Manila.

02:22We traveled a lot, right?

02:25It took us 7 hours.

02:27We left home at 5 a.m.

02:29because there was a lot of electricity that Mali could use.

02:34After more than 7 hours of travel,

02:38Mali was able to return to his home for more than 4 decades.

02:44I am very proud of myself.

02:46I will never forget what happened in my life.

02:50But do you know what is the biggest animal that was taxidermied?

03:00One of the biggest taxidermy animals in the world

03:03is an 8-ton whale shark.

03:06It is now the centerpiece of a museum in Centerport, New York.

03:09The so-called whale shark has been preserved twice.

03:13Its original taxidermy model was damaged,

03:16so it had to be restored using a new method of preservation.

03:21To find out the trivia behind the viral news,

03:23just post or comment with the hashtag

03:25Kuya Kim Ano Na?

03:27Always remember, the important thing is to know.

03:29I am Kuya Kim and I will answer you 24 hours a day.
