00:00It looks like it's not going to bite.
00:05It's trying to squeeze its body out of the water.
00:09It's trying to lay eggs here and there.
00:13But unlike other bamboo rats,
00:17this one doesn't have a tusk.
00:20Its skin is also thick.
00:23But instead of being afraid of it,
00:26the animal feels something.
00:28Notice the deep wound on its back.
00:45Outside the cage,
00:47the rat looks different.
00:50It has a pig wound.
00:52Its breed is still being studied to this day.
01:01Its skin is white,
01:03and it looks like it's smiling.
01:06Notice the wound on its neck.
01:09What's the problem with pigs?
01:12Usually, our major problem is the wound.
01:17Let's take a look.
01:23One thing I noticed is that its skin is thick.
01:28Here, there's a lichenification.
01:31They call it elephant skin.
01:33This is not normal.
01:35Usually, this happens when there's a chronic infection
01:38or parasitic infection.
01:41I immediately noticed the rope that seems to be coming down on its neck.
01:53It's time to feed the pigs
01:56at Aurora State College of Technology,
01:58School of Agriculture and Aquatic Science.
02:02When the rats put food in their mouths,
02:05the pigs come closer one by one.
02:11The pigs don't want to lose.
02:14They are eager to eat.
02:18The two-week-old pig is the newest in the group.
02:23There's a bite on its skin.
02:25It doesn't want to give up on its mother.
02:28It's so cute.
02:29It's so cute. It looks like a pig.
02:31Oh, my God. It looks like a hamster.
02:34So cute.
02:36The pigs' cage is inside the school.
02:40They say it's a way for the Philippine warty pigs to study at Aurora.
02:48The piglets have been in their care for four months.
02:53They bought it from hunters or dogs.
02:57The two mothers are in the cage of their babies.
03:02According to their studies,
03:0450% of the Philippine warty pigs' population are in their area.
03:11It's in the category of vulnerable species.
03:16Because of the risk of making food and mixing it with domesticated pigs,
03:23they are currently doing genetic conservation on eight pigs.
03:29This is the first step to make a breeding plan for the pigs.
03:37Their wildness is still there.
03:40They still attack because they are very territorial and very protective of their companions.
03:47Wild pigs maintain their biodiversity by means of balancing the mountains
03:54where there are a lot of native plants and animals.
04:01I immediately noticed the rope that seemed to be coming down on his neck.
04:06This wound is getting deeper.
04:10Our first challenge is to give him a sedative.
04:14Don't be afraid, brother.
04:18Okay, okay. Let's just hold him.
04:21Just hold him.
04:24Hold him, brother.
04:26Hold him, brother.
04:28Hold him.
04:33Because his skin is so hard, the sedative didn't work.
04:38I'll choose my sedative. Let's change the sedative.
04:42Hold him.
04:44Hold him.
04:46Hold him.
04:49Hold him.
04:52Hold him.
04:55It didn't work, right?
04:57You saw how hard his skin was earlier.
04:59While the rope is being removed, the pig is still shivering.
05:04This is where I saw his wound getting closer.
05:08Look at me. I'm really scared.
05:11Hold him.
05:13Hold him.
05:19I gave him an antibiotic to treat the infection.
05:22I gave something for the skin parasites.
05:25The antibiotic is long-acting.
05:27And we gave him a spray.
05:30We saw the wound, right? It's so deep.
05:33I think this is the best that we can do.
05:36It was temporarily removed so that the wound can heal quickly.
05:41But it can't be put in the prison of the students of the Philippine Warty Pig.
05:48Next, I examined the pigs there.
05:51For the small pigs, let's give them the pig's skin.
05:57You saw the lesions on their skin.
06:03There.
06:06Come here.
06:17Let's finish the small ones.
06:19We need to catch the big ones.
06:22That's the challenge.
06:24The patenter wants to catch the bigger pigs.
06:28It should be inside.
06:30It should be inside, right?
06:35It's attacking us.
06:37It's attacking us.
06:39Hold him.
06:44The skin is hard.
06:46This one is almost dead.
06:57It's going inside.
06:59It's going inside.
07:04Hold him.
07:06Very good.
07:09Our mission was a success.
07:12We gave them vitamins and purgatives one by one
07:16that can help strengthen their resistance.
07:20It's their first time to get a purgative.
07:22Yes, Doc.
07:23At least we did it.
07:25Their skin lesions will improve.
07:27They'll get fatter and gain more weight.
07:29We don't know.
07:30Maybe they have parasites.
07:39We brought the pig again.
07:42Let's visit the pig we brought yesterday
07:46to remove the bandage on its neck.
07:49Let's see how it is.
07:51There it is.
07:52It's happier now, right?
07:55He looks a lot better.
07:59There's no more bandage on its neck.
08:01It won't smell anymore.
08:03It will get wounds on its back.
08:08The four pigs that were saved from the dogs
08:14are now eight.
