00:00Life in the wild is a competition, a test of endurance and strength.
00:21The winner will be the one who will survive in the battle of strength, speed and intelligence.
00:37Who will be the true winner?
00:51When the water level in this bay is low,
00:55the small animals are excited to come out from their nests.
01:03While others are looking for something to eat,
01:12these two kimpis or fiddler crabs
01:15are eager to eat.
01:27We thought it was a gallamay or pincers,
01:32but it turned out to be a nestling crab.
01:36Finally, the smaller fiddler crab gave up and entered the hole.
01:42But not only did the bigger kimpi win,
01:48he also planned to take the prey of his opponent.
01:53This is his prize for victory.
02:00In the other ring,
02:03an arboreal climbing crab was caught in the territory of the fiddler crab.
02:07He tried to break the small fiddler crab using his pincer,
02:13but he lost to the size of his opponent.
02:20The fiddler crab's claw was cut,
02:26so the fiddler crab around it hid.
02:38In this bay,
02:40there is one of the largest species of fiddler crab.
02:44They are called mud crab.
02:47Because of the size of its claws,
02:50the opponent will surely knock out in the first round.
02:54Come on, come on.
02:56Oh my God, it's fighting.
02:59It's fighting.
03:02All right, I got you.
03:05There is no mistake that he was caught,
03:08because he can cut our fingers.
03:12He can generate almost 15 kilograms of force
03:17enough to break the shell of mud crabs and other crabs.
03:20These are the ones that make our mangroves rich and healthy.
03:26Not only are crabs champions in fishing and fishing,
03:31their most important specialty is their alliance with the mud crab.
03:37The holes made by the mud crabs and fiddler crabs in the white sand
03:42become a path for the nutrients to circulate in the soil,
03:46so the mud crab becomes healthier.
03:48They are also the cleaners and eaters of dry leaves scattered in the white sand.
03:54They are also known as gold medalists in wrestling.
03:59They are also a bio-indicator of a clean environment.
04:09Under the ocean,
04:12the champion of the fight is just waiting to be seen.
04:17The mantis shrimp.
04:20Is it small or terrible?
04:23When it comes to the end, I'm sure
04:26its opponent will be in pain.
04:29There, we saw it.
04:31I don't know if the mantis shrimp was caught, but it's moving.
04:35There it is. It's so big.
04:38This mantis shrimp is known to have the strongest punch ever
04:42compared to its size and the intensity of its punch.
04:48When there is a match, they can't fight back.
04:55The mantis shrimp chasing the mantis shrimp
04:59received several power punches.
05:13In a blink of an eye, the opponent will have a hard time.
05:22After a few seconds, the mantis shrimp was already caught.
05:27When it comes to their love life, monogamous,
05:30or only one partner in the 30 to 40 years of mantis shrimp's life.
05:38In the middle of the desert,
05:40they hunt for their home.
05:46That's why there are two mantis shrimp in every hole.
05:49One male and one female.
05:52Mantis shrimp men are good at finding food.
05:57Even if they are happy together,
06:00there is still danger in their lives.
06:04They are often caught to make food.
06:09Now that there is a market,
06:12I think a lot of people will be interested in catching mantis shrimp.
06:15Do we have plans to make it sustainable?
06:18Because it might run out.
06:20That's why no one can catch a mantis shrimp
06:23that doesn't go through community-based training.
06:26But like a brave boxer,
06:29just fight!
06:30Woohoo!
06:32Woohoo!
06:35Dolphins are also good at swimming.
06:40Dolphins do artistic or synchronized swimming.
06:45This is a way for them to bond with each other
06:49or protect each other from enemies.
07:01We have finished spinner dolphins here in Sangpad.
07:05Maybe around 50 of them.
07:10The choreography is already a win!
07:19The confident jump of a spinner dolphin
07:22really makes you feel proud.
07:30Yeah!
07:32Yeah!
07:36There!
07:38They are jumping!
07:40Some of them are already showing their fins.
07:46And their highlight is
07:49the spinning of dolphins or calves.
07:52When they were young,
07:54their parents encouraged them to learn how to spin.
07:57There!
07:59Those are the calves.
08:01Those are the juveniles.
08:03Those are the ones showing their fins.
08:05They are small.
08:09That's why dolphins are gold medalists
08:12when it comes to artistic swimming.
08:21But there is a risk in their performance.
08:25Aside from the garbage,
08:27there is also a risk of climate change.
08:31Illegal fishing adds to the reason
08:34why some of them die.
08:38The strength of an animal is not measured
08:41in their size.
08:44Because in the animal arena,
08:47they are just a small animal
08:49to be thrown into the water.
08:51They are really small but terrible.
08:56Calves are champions in weightlifting.
09:00Calves use weightlifting skills
09:03every day to carry food.
09:07No matter how heavy the load is,
09:10they cannot see the weight of the body.
09:13They have to carry even 20 times heavier loads.
09:17They have a super strength in the world of insects.
09:23They are packing food for their colony
09:26before the next rain comes.
09:31All of their paths will lead them back to their colony
09:35just like a hopper and other insects.
09:40They are not only good at carrying prey,
09:43but also at carrying food.
09:45This is called transport.
09:48Their jaw is very useful.
09:52Aside from carrying food,
09:55they are also predators
09:58or a bigger threat to them.
10:02Even though they are small,
10:05they are very painful if they bite.
10:08Especially if someone is watching them.
10:11It hurts.
10:13They are more aggressive
10:16when they are in that stage.
10:19Look.
10:21It smells like crude or kerosene
10:24that they spray with formic acid.
10:27They bite very hard.
10:30The smell is very strong.
10:33They are very aggressive.
10:36They bite very hard.
10:38They will stick their abdomen
10:41to the area where they can create
10:44a break in your skin.
10:47They can defend their wound.
10:52Their strength in carrying is crucial
10:55for the survival of their colony.
10:58Even though they don't get any medals
11:01for their hardworking,
11:04they are champions in helping their family.
11:08What do you think?
11:12Is it worth it?
11:16It requires a special set of skills
11:21in order to meet the target.
11:27In the presence of many predators up,
11:31you should not be strong or big.
11:34It would be a big help if you are fast.
11:40This is the Peregrine Falcon.
11:42The undisputed super bird or fastest bird in the world.
11:53It can fly at a speed of 389 km or even faster than bullet train.
12:01And almost three times faster than cheetah.
12:06They are the so-called fighter jet of the animal kingdom.
12:14I've been to a nesting site of the Peregrine Falcon in Luzon.
12:21But of course, it wasn't easy.
12:31Because they nest in the upper part of the field.
12:37Until we caught a Peregrine Falcon.
12:44It's hard to see them from the vantage point because the sky is actually making it more difficult for us to appreciate them.
12:50But with the aid of the telephoto lenses, we can appreciate them one by one.
12:54We can observe their behavior, how they eat, how they fly.
13:00They hunt in mid-air.
13:02So the birds that fly are the ones that they will chase.
13:05And that's what they will fight for.
13:07So that they can eat themselves or feed their offspring like this one that we can see here.
13:14This Peregrine Falcon is now used to be faster than its parents.
13:22Right now, they're starting to discover their surroundings.
13:26And they're starting to develop themselves for their preparation for flying.
13:35We're seeing actually four young ones.
13:39And they're fledgings already.
13:42As the chicks grow, their parents move them to a higher place.
13:48This will be their training ground for flying.
13:54In the air, they'll seem to be dogfighting.
13:59It's important for them to be used to any kind of challenge.
14:05Especially against illegal hunting.
14:09Because the birds are still shooting.
14:12They're being chased using airguns.
14:15Even though they're Olympians in flying,
14:18they lose when it comes to territory.
14:26Because the forest that they used to live in
14:30has been replaced by houses and cars.
14:34This is the most severe obstacle course for them.
14:37If we're talking about a long jump,
14:40the falcons are not done yet.
14:45They can jump 10 times their size.
14:50They're using their strength to jump.
14:55When they land on the ground,
14:58they're already a winner.
15:00They're using their strength to jump.
15:04When they land on the ground,
15:06they're already a winner.
15:11This tree frog is just staring at the leaves.
15:15It's already sleeping and eating on the tree.
15:20It sticks to any surface.
15:25Even if the leaves are slippery, it can jump.
15:30Tree frogs have the ability to twist their necks.
15:34It's like a person is looking at where it's going to jump.
15:39Ordinary frogs can't get close to this.
15:43Look how slippery it is.
15:48Even if other frogs are submerged in water,
15:51like the barbie frog,
15:54the frog is still swimming.
15:57It's ready for the next Olympics.
16:01To maintain the strength of these frogs,
16:05they need clean water.
16:07Because if the water is dirty,
16:09they can become weak.
16:11That's why they're also called
16:13bio-indicators of clean surroundings.
16:17What they're good at in the long jump,
16:20inside the forest,
16:22and they won't give up,
16:24are the spiders.
16:26At the top of the jump,
16:30it's already a gold medalist.
16:33These tarantulas of Romblon,
16:36they move so fast.
16:40When we tried to catch it,
16:42it jumped with such a strong jump.
16:45At this speed,
16:47it can jump at any time.
16:58This is also their way to hunt.
17:03They're not only good at landing,
17:05they're also good at hunting.
17:07They're also good at hunting.
17:10They're also good at hunting.
17:12They're not only good at landing,
17:14they're also good at swimming.
17:17Just like the fishing spider,
17:20they're going to eat a fish today.
17:38When it comes to sprinting,
17:41cheetahs are one of the fastest.
17:45Cheetahs can run at a speed of 120 km per hour.
17:51Cheetahs are the backbone of the animal kingdom when it comes to running.
18:00It is my first time to see a cheetah in the wild.
18:04They are very elegant looking.
18:06They're short and very sleek.
18:08I can see the definition of their muscles.
18:11I can see the beauty of their spots.
18:13This is a cheetah.
18:15It's climbing the bushes,
18:17but we can still see it.
18:19It's so satisfying to see a cheetah.
18:23Here in Masai Mara, Kenya,
18:25not only one cheetah is walking.
18:31Wow!
18:34Bingo!
18:36Cheetah with a baby.
18:38That's a baby.
18:42This is a long cheetah.
18:45The mother includes her cubs until they grow up.
18:52In the wild,
18:54only one in ten cheetahs survive
18:57because they are often the target of other predators
19:01such as lions
19:03and hyenas.
19:04Their cubs survive so that they can win.
19:10In the world of power,
19:12the strong survive.
19:15The true champion is not measured in size.
19:20But in determination,
19:22the wild cheetahs survive and continue to breed.
19:28There's no turning back for nature.
19:31There's no turning back for nature.
