00:00Good evening, Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim, who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
00:08A group of hyper hikers in Cebu got scared because they found two King Cobras fighting on the trail.
00:17Are you still a mountaineer if you can meet them on the trail?
00:25Two King Cobras are fighting.
00:28And it looks like they are fighting.
00:29Don't look at me.
00:31This was the problem of Danby's group when they were hiking in Mount Kangirag in Cebu.
00:36We are 8 people. We have a plan to hike every weekend for our Mount Apo hike.
00:42But in the middle of their hike, the two Cobras suddenly appeared.
00:46My partner saw a snake on my side. I didn't see it because I was just focused on the path.
00:52That's why the group got scared.
00:55We ran from that area. We went to a safer distance.
00:58Will the group make it to the summit?
01:01Kuya Kim, what now?
01:03King Cobras are one of the most dangerous animals in the world.
01:07A person who is attacked by a King Cobra can die within 15 minutes.
01:11While a big animal like an elephant can only live for a few hours.
01:16The King Cobra is neurotoxic.
01:19It will weaken the nervous system of the animal or the person who is attacked.
01:23What are the two King Cobras doing when they encounter Danby on the trail?
01:28According to an expert, they are not fighting.
01:31They are doing a mating ritual.
01:33The hikers saw two King Cobras engaging in a mating ritual.
01:40There is a female nearby who attracts the males.
01:44When they smell the pheromones, they will engage in a wrestling match.
01:49Whoever wins will have the right to mate with the female.
01:53If the area is large, choose a path that is not a hindrance to them.
01:58It is in combat mode.
02:00So it's focused on its goal.
02:01It has nothing to do with you.
02:04The two King Cobras immediately ran away after fighting.
02:07After one King Cobra left, we continued our trail.
02:11But along the way, other hikers went there.
02:15We told them to be alert because we saw someone running away.
02:19But did you know that the King Cobra is not the tallest of all the Venomous Snakes?
02:23They are also the tallest.
02:29The King Cobras are considered the tallest Venomous Snakes in the animal kingdom.
02:34An adult King Cobra like this can go down from 10 to 12 feet.
02:39And if they stand up,
02:41they can reach a person with an average height.
02:44But most of us will just close our eyes out of fear.
02:48Meanwhile, to find out the trailer behind the viral news,
02:50just post or comment with the hashtag Kuya Kim Ano Na?
02:54Always remember that what's important is what's known.
02:56I am Kuya Kim and I will answer you 24 hours a day.
03:04A private firm in America has been going on strike for a month.
03:08This weekend, their spacecraft successfully reached the moon.
03:13What is their mission on the moon?
03:15Kuya Kim, what's next?
03:21A month-long strike for many private aerospace firms
03:24to reach our neighbor in the Middle East,
03:26the moon,
03:28but not for Firefly Aerospace,
03:30which is based in Texas, America.
03:31This March 2,
03:33Blue Ghost Spacecraft successfully touched down on the moon.
03:39The four-legged Blue Ghost,
03:41the size of a compact vehicle,
03:43landed near an ancient volcanic vent
03:45in Mare Crisium.
03:47It has a drill,
03:49vacuum,
03:50and other experiments to study the so-called celestial body.
03:54The Blue Ghost has also obtained some photos,
03:58including the sunrise of the moon.
04:00Because of this milestone,
04:02Firefly Aerospace is now the second private firm to reach the moon.
04:06Who was the first?
04:08Kuya Kim, what's next?
04:12Did you know that lunar exploration
04:14started in the 1950s?
04:16In 1959, Luna 1 of the USSR
04:18was the first spacecraft
04:20to reach the moon's vicinity.
04:22In 1966, Luna 9
04:24was the first soft landing here.
04:26Apollo 11 of America
04:28was able to achieve
04:30the first human landing on the moon
04:32in 1969.
04:34The so-called Lunas
04:36are the so-called lunar explorations
04:38conducted by their government.
04:40If a private firm's lunar exploration
04:42is what we're talking about,
04:44the Houston-based Intuitive Machines
04:46were the first to reach the moon.
04:48Their Odysseyus lander
04:50successfully touched down
04:52just last year.
04:54Always remember,
04:56it's important to know.
04:58This is Kuya Kim, and my answer to you is
05:0024 hours.
05:02Here,
05:04someone is trying
05:06to escape
05:08from a pig farm
05:10in Davao Oriental.
05:12And the problem is,
05:14they got caught.
05:16Who? What's this?
05:18Kuya Kim, what's next?
05:20The residents of Parangay San Jose
05:22in Carraga, Davao Oriental
05:24are afraid.
05:26Because there's something
05:28lurking in their area.
05:30It's not a human being, but
05:32a pig.
05:42Until last week,
05:44the resident, Ferdinand, was surprised.
05:46His pig
05:48was attacked.
05:50I went to the pig pen.
05:52I thought my pig was stolen.
05:54They gave me a bag.
05:56It was a brown bag.
05:58When I got tired, I went back to my house.
06:00But this time, the pig was tired.
06:02They were caught.
06:04When the pig was drowned,
06:06its body was broken, and it was hard to move.
06:08So they couldn't do anything.
06:10I was surprised that
06:12the pig was eaten.
06:14I was sad because I had nothing to eat.
06:16Will Ferdinand be able to save his pig?
06:22Ferdinand's pig was eaten
06:24by a reticulated python,
06:26and they cut off its blood circulation.
06:28When it dies,
06:30or when it weakens,
06:32they drown it.
06:34They do this because of a stretchy or elastic tissue
06:36between their cranium and lower jaw.
06:38That enables them to stretch their mouths
06:40to consume prey that's much
06:42larger than their heads.
06:44Meanwhile, Ferdinand immediately called
06:46the Environment and Natural Resources Office
06:48of Caraga to get the pig.
06:50At around 10 a.m.,
06:52the D.N.R. came here.
06:54They didn't have time to save the pig.
06:56We went to the barangay
06:58and told them that
07:00if the pigs
07:02come to the D.N.R.,
07:04they will be replaced.
07:06Always remember that what's important is what you know.
07:08This is Kuya Kim, and I'll answer you 24 hours a day.
07:14Before the smiley faces in Cebu,
07:16or the partners of the visitors,
07:18there's something interesting.
07:20These are not fish, but a
07:22male version of a mermaid or siren.
07:24Meet Jan Clark,
07:26a.k.a. Merman Clark,
07:28the guardian of the ocean.
07:30Clark is part of a group
07:32of professional mermaids
07:34who attend events.
07:36He made a viral video when they visited Cebu.
07:38We spent two days in Cebu Ocean Park
07:40to showcase our skills, creativity,
07:42and artistry underwater.
07:44Clark is an employee of a technology company.
07:46But in 2023,
07:48he came up with a new hobby.
07:50When I did a free dive,
07:52I wanted to try being a merman
07:54because I wanted something different.
07:56I enjoyed it more.
07:58My goal is to break the stereotype.
08:00It was a good feeling
08:02when the kids came to me.
08:04They saw a mermaid.
08:06Sirens are creatures
08:08that live in the ocean
08:10with the head and upper body of a human
08:12and the tail of a fish.
08:14Almost all continents in the world
08:16have a version of these creatures.
08:18This is one of the tragedies in the ocean.
08:20But not the only one
08:22that could be one of the most famous sirens in the world.
08:24The Little Mermaid
08:26is a Danish author named Hans Christian Andersen.
08:28But did you know
08:30that there is only one creature in the ocean
08:32that is often called a siren?
08:36These are sharks.
08:38The body of this aquatic mammal
08:40looks like a woman with a tail when in the water.
08:42Always remember
08:44that it is important to know.
08:46I am Kuya Kim and I will answer you 24 hours a day.
08:56With the help of technology,
08:58the mission of some experts
09:00in the extinction of elephants
09:02is the Woolly Mammoth.
09:04The idea of a biotechnology company
09:06in America to achieve this
09:08is to make genetically modified
09:10fish.
09:12Is this possible?
09:14Kuya Kim, what is it?
09:20This fish is so cute and fluffy.
09:22But did you know
09:24that they are not just simple fish?
09:26Their tail is longer than a hammock.
09:28They are genetically modified
09:30laboratory mice.
09:32Made by a biotechnology company in America
09:34in the hope of de-extincting
09:36an animal that lived on our planet
09:38thousands of years ago.
09:40The Woolly Mammoth.
09:42This is an engineered mouse equivalent
09:44of mammoth genes that we've identified
09:46on our quest to bring back the mammoth
09:48into mice in a healthy way
09:50and produce what we believe is
09:52a cold-tolerant woolly
09:54phenotype-driven mice.
09:56The Woolly Mammoth
09:58are extinct species of elephants
10:00with long tails and can survive
10:02in extremely cold climates.
10:04Through genetic modification
10:06or editing of genes to copy
10:08the characteristics of an animal,
10:10woolly mice have mammoth-inspired fates
10:12just like their woolly coat
10:14or tail.
10:16But is it possible to de-extinct
10:18or revive an animal through
10:20genetic modification?
10:22This experiment aims to copy
10:24the characteristics of mammals.
10:26We birthed 38 mice and they were all
10:28edited and happy and healthy
10:30and there weren't any unintended consequences
10:32besides the fact that they were
10:34massively adorable.
10:36But to revive mammals
10:38is not yet possible.
10:40Always remember, it's important to know.
10:42This is Kuya Kim and I'll answer you
10:4424 hours a day.
