00:00Good evening, Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim and I will give you a trivia behind the trending news.
00:10A married couple from Palawan can't breathe when someone trespasses their home.
00:15Not a thief, but a smelly animal. What animal is this?
00:19When did Elani fall asleep? When she smelled a monster?
00:27She remembers that someone trespassed their home in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan.
00:32Our dog barked because they smelled something different.
00:37We thought it was just a dog barking because it was already dawn.
00:40The smell was unbearable. I can't compare it.
00:43It's like coffee. The dog's smell is different.
00:45And when they went around their house, this is where they saw a trespasser.
00:50It looks like a pig. It's also like a durian. It's just that it has no neck.
00:55This is a Pantot or in English, Palawan stink badger.
00:59I'm so happy that I saw a person.
01:02Can a married couple breathe now?
01:05Kuya Kim, why do you smell like Pantot? Kuya Kim, what now?
01:09Kuya Kim, what now?
01:10Pantot or Midao Smartshell are notorious for their unbearable smell.
01:14Their smell comes from their specialized anal glands.
01:19It acts as their self-defense mechanism.
01:22They can spray it up to 1 meter.
01:24They say that the smell can reach up to 1 millimeter.
01:28This is called Dikidong. It contains various chemicals such as theols and sulfur compounds.
01:33It's the reason for the smell.
01:35This is their way to avoid animals that they want to catch or hurt.
01:39They also do this to mark their territory.
01:41They also have long nails.
01:43They use it to dig to find big freshwater crabs or small insects.
01:47What did Elani do to the Pantot that was lost in their backyard?
01:51We just let it go because we were worried that it might suddenly die.
01:55When I came back, I thought it was still there. It's gone.
01:57I was a little sad that it's gone.
01:59Did you know that not only animals like Pantot smell bad,
02:02but also plants like this one that smell like the smell of a dead body.
02:12This is the corpse flower.
02:16It smells like a corpse.
02:21It's full of chemicals such as putrescine and cadaverine.
02:24It can be found in flowers.
02:26Even if this flower dies,
02:28it has a big effect on the plant.
02:31It propagates.
02:33This is what attracts pollinators such as eels.
02:35It has a lot of pollen and helps pollination.
02:38To find out the trivia behind the viral news,
02:41just post a comment.
02:42Hashtag Kuya Kim, what's next?
02:44Always remember, the important thing is to know.
02:46I am Kuya Kim and I will answer you 24 hours a day.
