00:00Macawander!
00:02Oh oh oh oh oh!
00:04Susan Enriquez is our co-host.
00:07Macawander!
00:09If Juan is on a food trip, he won't be the last one, right?
00:15Every night, a dark animal visits his farm.
00:24So, to see the animal visit,
00:27we set up cameras in the place where it is commonly seen.
00:42In her farmhouse in Indang, Cavite,
00:47Susan told me about the animals that she often sees.
00:52It's crossing.
00:54It's here.
00:56What time is it?
00:58Midnight.
00:59Midnight.
01:00Around nine.
01:01There's one on the tree.
01:03I said, okay, let's use a flashlight.
01:04I just saw it.
01:05It's small.
01:06It was on the tree.
01:07I don't know, maybe because it's tall.
01:09But I saw it.
01:11They often see the animal resting on the top of the tree.
01:17There's another one.
01:18It's on the top of the tree,
01:20while it's grazing in the surroundings.
01:24How do you feel that these wildlife are existing in your place?
01:30So, what does that mean?
01:31It's like, it hasn't really reached humans yet, right?
01:35Because they're still there.
01:37They're still existing.
01:38Even if it sees a human,
01:39it knows that no one will touch it.
01:41Because it's already used to us that it sees a human here.
01:44No one will chase it.
01:45No one will catch it.
01:48To get a better view of the wildlife on Mami Sue's farm,
01:52I installed a camera trap.
01:56So that we have more footages,
01:58we will install a camera trap.
02:02One is where the incidence of its sightings is high.
02:08And then the second is the cows.
02:11Let's put it in the forest.
02:16After 4 days, I installed the camera trap.
02:21Let's see if we can capture anything with our camera trap.
02:28We installed a camera trap
02:30so that we can capture the sightings of Susan Enriquez.
02:37Let's see if we can capture anything with our camera trap.
02:44Suddenly,
02:49a mouse appeared.
02:53It slowly approached the camera trap
02:56and took the banana.
03:02Hey, there it is.
03:04It has eyes.
03:06It has eyes.
03:07Two.
03:08So it seems like we captured something.
03:12There it is.
03:14Yes, our visiting worker.
03:17It seems like it noticed that there's a camera trap.
03:23Success.
03:24It looks like a mouse.
03:26These are your visitors.
03:32Yes.
03:33It's so fun.
03:34It's so fun when we capture something with our camera trap.
03:39The mouse that we captured with our camera trap
03:43proves that this place is a natural habitat for wild cats.
03:49But not all palm civet cats or mice can be seen in the wild.
03:55Because of their cute appearance,
03:57which looks like a cat,
03:58they are often taken care of.
04:02Most of the time,
04:03the wild cats are still young.
04:08The young mouse is active and energetic.
04:12Their routine is climbing up and down the tree
04:15and sniffing the surroundings.
04:20But it's time for their wild instinct to return.
04:24They might get sick.
04:31We're here at Rosario, Batangas
04:34with our DNR team
04:36because we heard that a mouse is going to surrender here.
04:41They've been taking care of the mouse for almost a year.
04:45In Barangay Masaya,
04:46Anmanugang is working there.
04:48They heard a sound
04:50and they came closer
04:51and the small mouse fell.
04:54They saw that the mouse fell
04:56from the nest when it was still a baby.
04:59That's why they took care of the mouse.
05:03What did you think to turn it over?
05:06It's getting bigger.
05:07We can't take care of it anymore.
05:09It's too small to take care of.
05:11It might die.
05:13They used to take care of the mouse
05:16but now it can return to its home.
05:21I also picked up the mouse
05:23to see if it can return to the wild.
05:27Here, I can smell the musky
05:29smell of this civet cat.
05:33They don't have that smell.
05:35It's like a foul smell
05:37because that's what they use
05:39to mark their territory.
05:41This scent or smell
05:43might be what Yogi used
05:45to return to Amy's house.
05:48And as I'm looking at it,
05:50it doesn't have the fear of humans
05:53but it seems to be strong.
05:57Most wildlife,
05:59they retain their wild instincts.
06:02Even if we see it as an animal,
06:05if we take it to a place
06:09where there are no humans,
06:11it will learn to look for its own food.
06:16Aside from being able to bite humans,
06:19Yogi was also able to kill chickens.
06:24Even though it was considered a house cat,
06:27its wild instincts still returned.
06:30That means,
06:32Yogi can be aggressive
06:34to defend himself.
06:36We should be the ones to change.
06:38We shouldn't care about them anymore.
06:42Yogi tried to reach my hand several times.
06:47It also attacked immediately.
06:50Let's see if...
06:52There, that's a good sign.
06:54Did you see that?
06:56It's angry.
06:57It's a male.
07:00Okay, that's why
07:02sometimes they become aggressive
07:04because when they're male,
07:06they're braver.
07:08I don't see any wounds
07:10except on its tail.
07:12There are a few scabs there.
07:15But otherwise,
07:18it has a good body.
07:20Its eyes are fine.
07:22Its teeth are fine.
07:25To be sure,
07:27I need to take it out of its cage.
07:35Easy.
07:36Alright, so,
07:38we'll do now our examination.
07:40There are no wounds.
07:42It has a few scabs on its tail.
07:45We'll just clean its wound.
07:48It seems like it was licked earlier.
07:51Very minor.
07:53Alright, its eyes are fine.
07:55Its ears are clean.
08:00Let's see its teeth.
08:02Okay.
08:03It's complete.
08:04There are no scabs.
08:07Everything's okay.
08:10Final verdict.
08:12So,
08:13I think it's a good time
08:15to release it.
08:17Along with Pedro Batangas,
08:19we'll bring Nyogi
08:21to his new home.
08:28Wow, look at this.
08:29This looks like a good spot.
08:31I can see coffee trees
08:34and nyog.
08:36According to us,
08:38it was born in a nyog.
08:40So,
08:41this looks like a good place.
08:49Nyogi is sniffing the surroundings.
08:53Suddenly,
09:01its instincts for climbing trees
09:03are gone.
09:05It's natural for it
09:07to balance on that thin branch.
09:10The branch moved.
09:11Great!
09:14Yes!
09:15All we wish is
09:17for them to be safe
09:19and live in peace again.
