00:00Every Sunday, we'll give you a list of amazing things and discoveries.
00:05Thanks to our program, you won't lose your fun learning.
00:09And this week, our list is still hot.
00:13Let's find out the top 5 smoking hot sightings in the Philippines.
00:19The first on our list is the volcano.
00:21This volcano in Cagayan is called the Mountain of Fire by the residents.
00:26It's here that you can see and feel the heat of the volcano.
00:31This is Mount Cawa, which is named like that because it looks like a cawa with boiling water.
00:37The first discovery of Mount Cawa was in 1860, according to PBOX.
00:43In 1860, this was also the first year that the volcano erupted or erupted.
00:48And the last update on the eruption of this volcano was in 1906.
00:54Many are now able to climb the so-called volcano
00:58so that they can personally enjoy the smoke of it.
01:02No worries, because it's at an altitude of 1,158 meters,
01:06it's perfect for newbie mountaineers.
01:12After about 2 hours of trekking, the crater of the volcano will be reached.
01:16And you will be able to see the boiling water coming up to 100 degrees Celsius.
01:22Here, we can really see the boiling water on the floor.
01:26Just a reminder, if you are in Cagayan,
01:29you cannot touch the water here, okay?
01:43From the volcano, the mountains of rocks are the source of smoke in the Negros Oriental.
01:48Have you heard of the Smoky Mountain of the South?
01:53The next to it is Palintinon.
01:56People come here to explore and take pictures of it.
01:59There is a smell of smoke that smells like rotten eggs.
02:06The smoke is so strong that it can even kill a person.
02:10The smoke is so strong that it can even kill a person.
02:13The smoke is so strong that it can even kill a person.
02:15The smoke is so strong that it can even kill a person.
02:18It's because of the nearby volcano, Mt. Talinis.
02:22According to PheVolx, even though it hasn't experienced an eruption in the past,
02:27Mt. Talinis is categorized as a Potentially Active Volcano.
02:31It means that the volcano is active, but its activities are not as noticeable as now.
02:38These rocks that emit smoke on the side of the road are called Sulphur Mountain.
02:46In science, this smoke is called Fumaroles.
02:50These are the vents or holes in the surface that emit volcanic gases.
02:55Because of the magma, the groundwater below is heating up.
02:58And there is a steam that also mixes with the erupting gases,
03:02which is the reason why it is hot.
03:04And this smell comes from hydrogen sulfide.
03:08Now we know.
03:15Another type of rock is smoking and floating alone.
03:19What?
03:21The small rock that is owned by a stone collector in Antique,
03:25is the one that catches fire when it is removed from the water.
03:28If you can't believe it, watch this.
03:36After a few minutes, the smoke is slowly coming out.
03:40And there it is.
03:42It's flying!
03:43The rock caught fire!
03:48I got it from a fan.
03:51I think the one who got it was from Mindoro.
03:55And I bought it for Php 10,000 per kilo.
03:59I dreamt of it as the most important rock for me.
04:02The main ingredient of this rock is called Firestone.
04:06Most likely, this rock is white phosphorus.
04:09It turns yellow when it is outside of the water.
04:17So it has a waxy appearance and a garlic smell odor.
04:22It is not naturally occurring, so it is usually prepared industrially.
04:28The chemical is often used in the production of fertilizer,
04:32food additives, laboratory experiments, and even in military activities.
04:37It is dangerous.
04:39But the protection of this rock requires special care.
04:50There is no land.
04:52We are here in the water.
05:00Because of the fog, there is a cloud of smoke and boiling water.
05:04This is Nagaso Boiling Lake.
05:07I told you, the word Nagaso means smoke.
05:11According to the local tourism officer, the water from the lake is sulfuric.
05:16If you experience it personally and go to Nagaso Boiling Lake,
05:22you can really smell the sulfur.
05:24It can be close to two inactive volcanoes,
05:28which is why there are hot springs and boiling lakes in the area.
05:31According to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau,
05:34hot springs and boiling lakes are similar in origin and origin.
05:39When the hot water reaches 32 degrees Celsius,
05:42it can be called a hot spring.
05:44But when it reaches 100 degrees Celsius or more,
05:48it is called a boiling lake.
05:50The water in Nagaso is extremely hot,
05:53so it cannot be bathed by humans.
05:55And last on our list,
05:57you wouldn't believe it,
05:59because of the smoke, there is no sun in the boiling lake.
06:06In the old days, residents used it as a drinking well.
06:12Instead of water, they used fire to boil it.
06:15It usually comes out around 6 in the morning,
06:18so they are used to letting the smoke out first before using it for the whole day.
06:26What they said on the leaker,
06:29that the smoke is coming from the hot spring.
06:34So it is a hot spring,
06:36but it is not a drinking well.
06:38It is a boiling lake.
06:40What they said on the leaker,
06:43that the cause of fire coming from that jetmatic pump
06:48was caused by a methane gas
06:50coming from the debris decomposed under the jetmatic pump.
06:55The natural gas that contains methane
06:57is considered the cleanest burning fossil fuel.
07:00When methane is released from a non-fossil source,
07:03like green waste, it can take carbon out of the air.
07:05It can also produce more heat and light energy by mass
07:09while producing less carbon dioxide
07:11compared to other hydrocarbons or fossil fuels.
07:14Air is coming out from the bottom.
07:18It is coming out from this side.
07:22When we turn on the lighter,
07:24it will smoke.
07:26It means that there is a deposit
07:30that we are not sure if it is methane
07:33or hydrosulfide or other kind of flammable.
07:39Well, there you have it, guys.
07:41Because in the world, there are many ways of science
07:43for us to get high.
07:48Why?
07:50I'm sorry.
07:52You're still here.
07:54I'm just practicing my new line in Aha, guys.
07:56The
07:58Why?
08:00Because starting today,
08:01our Why's will be answered here in Aha's Why List.
08:08Do you know why animals are famous in the world?
08:11It's because of their abilities.
08:13Just like the orca behind me.
08:19In one part of the ocean of the Mesanis Occidental,
08:22there is an amazing sea creature that can be seen.
08:24This is the one we saw.
08:29This amazing encounter
08:31was captured by a video of our neighbor.
08:38Our neighbor, Kevin Soho, is on his way home.
08:41The fishermen are with him
08:43when they noticed a huge sea creature.
08:48They thought it was just a dolphin
08:51when they saw it.
08:52They were so happy.
08:54They were so excited
08:56because they saw not just a dolphin,
08:59but a
09:02orca
09:05or killer whale.
09:07And it's not just one,
09:09it's a group of them.
09:11We saw one,
09:13it was a big one.
09:15But underneath it,
09:17there were two or three big ones.
09:19They were huge.
09:20Even bigger than our neighbor.
09:22What type of animal is this?
09:24Dolphin or whale?
09:26Well, orcas are called killer whales.
09:29Did you know that this is a type of dolphin?
09:32In fact, this is the biggest dolphin.
09:35Orcas grow from 23 to 32 feet
09:38or almost the size of a bus.
09:40Wow!
09:42But why is it called killer whale?
09:45Did you know that ancient sailors
09:47gave the country of killer whale to orcas?
09:50According to their observation,
09:52the group of orcas caught
09:54or hunted bigger species of whales.
09:57Because of this, they called them
09:59whale killer
10:01or whale killer
10:03which was later reversed
10:05and became killer whale.
10:07But don't worry.
10:09You shouldn't be afraid
10:11if you encounter a killer whale
10:13because it doesn't eat humans.
10:15I mean, we're not part of their diet.
10:17What they really eat
10:18are fish, penguins,
10:20and other marine mammals like sea lions.
10:23You shouldn't be afraid of those killer whales.
10:26But here, you might be afraid
10:29of the dragon of the ocean.
10:37Skinny skin.
10:41Long tails.
10:43And squinting eyes.
10:44This is the Philippine Sailfin Dragon.
10:47Others say
10:49that it looks like the fictional monster
10:51called Godzilla.
10:53Hmm, maybe.
10:55But the truth is, these are harmless
10:57and they only grow from 2 to 4 feet.
10:59Male Sailfin Dragons
11:01have tails like this one.
11:03And this is where they got the name Sailfin.
11:05Female Sailfin
11:07have smaller heads
11:09compared to males.
11:11These are water-loving.
11:12They have padded foot
11:14or flat feet
11:16to help them walk
11:18above the water.
11:20They usually go to the water
11:22to escape their predators.
11:24Speaking of predators,
11:26they also have superpowers
11:28that they can detect
11:30if there's a predator nearby.
11:32They have a parietal eye
11:34that serves as their third eye
11:36and it's placed above their head.
11:38They can tell if there's a predator nearby
11:39if their light source is blocked.
11:41According to the International Union
11:43for Conservation of Nature
11:45or IUCN,
11:47the Philippine Sailfin Dragon
11:49is on the Red List of Threatened Species.
11:51This means that they are vulnerable
11:53or at high risk in the wild.
11:55So in order for them not to be extinct,
11:57they should be protected.
11:59Here it is.
12:01Did you know that more than 500 million years ago,
12:03new life forms were still floating in the sea?
12:05As for the octopuses,
12:07there were a lot of predators back then.
12:09That's why sea creatures like octopuses
12:11need to develop a defense against them.
12:14And one of them is the creation of shells.
12:17Inside their bodies,
12:19that's octo-cool.
12:21In these shells,
12:23there's a small crack between their flesh.
12:25And when they extract liquid
12:27from these cracks,
12:29they replace it with gas
12:31because they're afraid
12:32but because of evolution,
12:34other skills of the octopuses were developed.
12:37Like moving fast,
12:40ability to squeeze into tighter places,
12:42and the extraction of black ink
12:44to distract their predators.
12:46But because of their new survival strategies,
12:48their shells are gradually not being used anymore.
12:51And through time,
12:53they became smaller and smaller.
12:55The old octopuses
12:57are no longer a threat
12:59to the sea creatures.
13:00The old octopuses
13:02are no longer compatible
13:04with the younger ones.
13:06That's why eventually,
13:08the octopuses with internal hard shells
13:10also became extinct.
13:12According to scientists
13:14in the University of Bristol in the UK,
13:16we can see in the fossils of the octopuses
13:18that they stopped having
13:20internal shells around 200 billion years ago.
13:23Now, that's during the Jurassic Age.
13:26Alright, we've answered your questions, guys.
13:28Next week again, okay?
13:30Amazing, right?
13:32Amazing ocean creatures.
