00:00 Sometimes, in the human world, wildlife are being hunted.
00:28 If this is what happens, what should we do?
00:32 When the class is over,
00:43 someone suddenly enters the classroom.
00:49 Not a student,
00:51 but a Philippine Cobra.
00:57 That week, the temperature suddenly rose.
01:02 It was hot.
01:04 Our job order personnel assigned to the area above
01:08 saw the entrance of the snake, the cobra, in the classroom.
01:14 With the help of our Department of Conservation,
01:18 the City Environment and Natural Resources Office in Osendro,
01:21 the Philippine Cobra was released.
01:24 The Cobra was released.
01:26 Wildlife are often found in the human territory.
01:35 Just like when I visited a rescue center in Bataan.
01:41 The group led by Marvi, staff of the City Veterinary Office,
01:46 is in charge of this.
01:49 We checked the snake from the creek.
01:54 We checked it, but we couldn't catch the mother snake
01:57 because it was inside the creek.
01:59 I went to the place where the snakes are found.
02:04 The story of the owner of the house, Judy.
02:07 A few days ago, we surrendered to Captain Nine.
02:15 Yesterday, we surrendered to Captain Shem.
02:19 All of them?
02:21 Yes, but the one that our neighbor couldn't catch.
02:25 Are they of the same size?
02:28 Yes.
02:30 Are they separated?
02:32 No, because that's the first snake we surrendered to.
02:35 That's the one with the net.
02:39 So they were separated.
02:43 They were separated.
02:45 One was inside the creek, the other one was inside the creek.
02:48 These are the ones that were caught.
02:51 We saw pythons here.
02:54 They don't have any eggs.
02:56 They are strong.
02:58 There are other snakes that were left inside the creek.
03:01 There are more.
03:03 The other day, we saw a bigger snake inside the creek.
03:08 But it went inside the big hole that they were trying to get out.
03:13 Even though they were afraid of the snakes,
03:15 they didn't hurt them because they feel sorry for them.
03:19 They decided to turn over the snakes in the barangay.
03:24 Shem, they are here.
03:26 Why?
03:28 Because the bathroom is in front of us, it's humid.
03:30 So they went here.
03:32 They went straight to the house.
03:35 How many snakes were there last night?
03:39 They won't stay in your house because they don't have a choice.
03:43 It's their last choice.
03:45 And it's possible that there are snakes living here in your river because there are a lot of fish.
03:50 They control the population of your fish.
03:53 Especially if there are children.
03:56 But a snake that big won't kill them.
04:00 And the children of the snakes that were caught in the bathroom are aggressive.
04:06 Ouch!
04:07 I'm careful.
04:15 Even though they are small, they are aggressive.
04:17 This one is 2 to 3 months old.
04:24 And they have one clutch.
04:27 They hatched at the same time.
04:33 And eventually, they will leave.
04:36 Let's check if there are any wounds.
04:38 The eyes are okay.
04:40 Okay.
04:42 Let's check if they are moving.
04:44 Usually, when they are still young, they will move.
04:49 If they can control their body.
04:51 If there is an area where they are not moving, it's most likely a fracture.
04:54 If it's like that, you can see some wrinkles.
04:56 That's part of their assessment.
04:58 The tiniest of them all, right?
05:00 Cute.
05:03 So, these are the baby pythons that were recovered and turned over here in the wind.
05:07 68 is the smallest.
05:09 And 85 is the longest.
05:11 But almost around the same length.
05:16 Because of the good condition of the snakes, the rescue center decided to release them in the wild.
05:23 This is the best time for these young ones to be reintroduced to the wild.
05:30 They are still young, they are not yet able to handle and get any other diseases.
05:34 These guys don't need any rehabilitation.
05:37 What they need is a natural space for them to live.

06:18 Even in a dangerous place, wildlife is also present.
06:22 Like this bugcon that fell from the power pole in Matnug, Sorsogon.
06:29 It looks like something popped on the pole.
06:31 Then, the electricity came back.
06:34 Then, it's like it's making a mess outside.
06:38 We thought it was like a flood, but it was a huge flood.
06:42 When we looked at it, its whiskers were burned.
06:47 Then, it was weakening.
06:49 We just released it.
06:53 Which is, I think, better than getting another person to feed it.
07:02 Some animals follow their own instincts when moving to a new place.
07:09 This may be due to the climate, damage to their homes, looking for food, or whatever.
07:17 If they get home to a human, they will not get hurt and will immediately surrender to the authorities.
07:23 If it is strong and has no wound, it can also be released in the wild.
07:30 The condition of the animal that was taken from the territory of humans does not get worse.
