00:00When to remove the teeth of a mouse because it's rotting.
00:10But it won't be easy.
00:20It bit me here.
00:22A mouse that was rescued from a selling tank.
00:33This is also a family of a mouse that was found in a lot where a house is being built.
00:41They were lucky to be among those who took care of them.
00:52Not in the wild, but in the backyard of Inidoro, the mouse named Sangsang.
01:01It was temporarily placed here by Erwin.
01:05A few weeks ago, Sangsang became a hunter.
01:09How many weeks has this mouse been here?
01:12Two weeks already.
01:13And how did you get hold of this mouse?
01:16I asked my friend and he told me that someone is buying this mouse.
01:21He will pay me P300.
01:23That's what he told me.
01:25Why did you call us?
01:27I felt sorry for the mouse.
01:28The only thing I saw was a lack of air.
01:30And there was a wound on the side.
01:32Are there a lot of mice here?
01:34Yes, there are a lot of mice here.
01:35Because on the other side, I always encounter mice there.
01:39I just let it go.
01:40Do you sometimes see mice?
01:43Yes, sometimes.
01:44Now, what I'm doing is cutting.
01:49So, we're going to wear these long leather gloves.
01:52My fingers are protected.
01:56We have to be careful.
02:00The second challenge here is...
02:02This cage is so low.
02:05And it's a bit difficult to climb here.
02:14Despite being low and hard to see in the wild,
02:20Civet cats and humans keep encountering each other.
02:27They get stuck or trapped in the jungle.
02:31And some of them become pets or pets.
02:34If you take out one species in an environment,
02:38let's say, there will be no more civet cats.
02:41It will be a big collapse in the ecosystem.
02:46Civet cats are very important to us.
02:49They are not only a source of food,
02:52but they are also a source of energy.
02:55They are our source of energy.
02:59Civet cats are very important to us.
03:03They didn't just become famous because of coffee.
03:05It's important to give them a chance to return.
03:12They are an important seed disperser.
03:15They are important as a predator.
03:18Also, they do the balance in the ecology.
03:29When did a mouse remove a tooth?
03:32Because it's rotting.
03:37As soon as Sang Sang saw my hand,
03:40he became defensive.
03:48It's a good sign.
03:49It means that his wild instincts are strong.
03:53It's time for him to leave.
03:59It's a good thing that I have gloves.
04:02It's good that he brought me here.
04:07It's a female.
04:11Oh! His tooth fell off.
04:15It's causing an infection.
04:17So I think at the rescue center, we'll sedate it.
04:20And we have to extract the fractured root.
04:24After I examine it,
04:26I want to look at my arm.
04:28Because I touched it.
04:33Wow!
04:35Imagine if I don't have gloves.
04:37I'm sure that my fingers will be pierced.
04:45Even if he has gloves,
04:46his tooth is rotten.
04:49That's okay.
04:50That's how it is.
04:51He needs to defend himself.
04:53He needs to defend himself.
04:56And...
04:58The part where the tooth is complete fell off.
05:02This is the upper and this is the lower.
05:05But that's a good sign that he's still strong.
05:09We brought Sang Sang to the rescue center
05:12to treat and rehabilitate him.
05:24Let's see how defensive Sang Sang is.
05:28And we'll have to sedate her
05:32so that we can do the procedure.
05:37Nek Kryn is a family of musang
05:39that is held by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
05:45There's a turnover here.
05:47A family of palm civet.
05:50Look at this.
05:54There are kits.
05:56Two?
05:58Four.
05:59Four.
06:00His four kids.
06:05That's how many palm civets can be born.
06:09But sadly,
06:11not all of them survive in the wild.
06:13The civet family was rescued from the area
06:16that is being cleared to build a house.
06:20All the musang must be strong before being released.
06:33Now back to Sang Sang.
06:35He was brought to the crate again.
06:50Did you bite it?
06:52Two.
06:53He was put to sleep.
07:02I was with the biology students of UP Dos Banos.
07:07Do you see the black color?
07:09That's the tooth.
07:13That's the part of the root
07:17that is decayed already.
07:20It looks like I'll have to suture the hole.
07:28Because what they eat are fruits and meat.
07:33And if that hole is inserted,
07:36it can have a continuous infection.
07:41I also gave Sang Sang medicine and vitamins.
07:46Wait for him to recover before releasing him to the wild.
