00:00We are now here at Marema Killing, considered as Mahiwaga
00:08They are doing a great job
00:11It's round, but it's not an egg
00:17Here it is sir, it's about to jump
00:19There it is! It jumped!
00:21As you can see, it jumped
00:23This story is about a dog that has a bird
00:32The target of the bird are monkeys
00:36It has a big beak, and it has a black dot on its head
00:44It has a long leg, but it has a short tail
00:46Is this story true?
00:53This mountain is full of mystery
01:05This is where Marema Killing, the goddess of nature, lives
01:11But it's not only the plants that give life and color to this place
01:17Because of the other residents that live here
01:21There is a rumor that this place is haunted
01:35In this plant, there is a spider
01:39It's the start of the day for this spider
01:43Using its beak, it cleans its prey
01:49It's now ready to have breakfast
01:53Later on, it saw an insect
01:59It immediately attacked it
02:05Using four pairs of eyes, it's easy for this spider to see its target
02:13But it's talent is not only in eating
02:17This spider can also jump
02:25We went to Marema Killing to get her world-class ability
02:33We're here at Marema Killing, considered as Maliwaga
02:39Because of the stories, there are elements that live here
02:45Like animals, that are passed on from generation to generation
02:53I'm here with Dr. Dave, an entomologist
02:57He's an expert when it comes to studying insects
03:03While we were walking, a spider suddenly appeared
03:09This spider is so big
03:13This spider is the length of an ant
03:17Why is it like that, sir?
03:19Actually, it's not a spider
03:21It's spider-related
03:23But it doesn't have a venom
03:25But it's also a predator
03:27Predator?
03:29It's called Opiliones
03:31Opiliones?
03:33What's its diet usually?
03:35Smaller insects
03:37It's also a predator
03:39That's why it has a long antlers
03:41So it's far from the prey
03:43It can't attack
03:47It has a safety net
03:49But it's a very effective predator
03:51Because if it catches the prey
03:53It can't escape
03:55It has 8 feet
03:578 feet?
03:59But it's not a spider?
04:01It's not a spider
04:03So not all 8-legged animals are spiders?
04:05Spiders
04:07Opiliones are also called
04:09Daddy-long-legs
04:11Because of their extremely long legs
04:15It can reach more than 2 centimeters
04:17Because of the length of a golf ball
04:23While I was holding it
04:25I noticed something on its body
04:27There's a mite
04:29It has a mite
04:31It has a mite
04:33So it's a
04:35It's a small creature
04:37That has another smaller creature
04:39It has a mite
04:41It has a parasite
04:43It's amazing
04:47When the sun sets
04:49On the mountain of Makiling
04:51Different animals can be seen
04:53Someone is cleaning its face
04:57This is called grooming behavior
04:59Someone is petting
05:01Its tail
05:05And someone is petting
05:07Like these two
05:09They're not close
05:13While we were walking around
05:15The mountain of Makiling
05:17We were surprised to see a plant
05:21The shape of its heart
05:23You'd think it's a house
05:25Of a cockroach
05:27It's a different plant
05:29But somehow
05:31It used the same plant
05:33To weave its house
05:37What's inside?
05:39It's probably a spider
05:41When I opened the plant
05:47Black circles appeared
05:53Using a defying glass
05:55We made sure
05:57That it's an egg
05:59That we're looking for
06:01It's amazing
06:03It's round
06:05But it's not an egg
06:09EBS
06:11EBS
06:13Yes
06:15It's an EBS
06:17It's an EBS
06:19There's nothing inside
06:21But it's attached
06:23It stayed in that nest
06:25For quite some time
06:27Eating and eating
06:29And now it's getting dirty
06:31It's not an egg
06:33But a dirty caterpillar
06:35We saw
06:37A few moments later
06:41We noticed a movement
06:43Of a plant
06:45It's outside
06:47The leaf
06:49That it molded
06:51It's as if it's preparing to jump
06:53Let's wait
06:55Until we see it jump
06:57We're looking for a jumping spider
06:59And finally
07:01We found it
07:03Jumping spiders
07:05Are unknown
07:07But they don't use their legs
07:09Because their legs are small
07:11They don't have muscles
07:13What they use
07:15Is liquid pressure
07:17The pressure of their blood
07:19They squeeze it
07:21With muscles in the cephalothorax
07:23And abdomen
07:25When they squeeze the fluid
07:27Their legs bend
07:29What we can see
07:31Is the bending of their legs
07:33That's what they do
07:37We waited for a few minutes
07:39For the jumping spider
07:41Suddenly
07:43Here it comes
07:45There it is
07:47It's moving
07:49It's moving
07:55Jumping spiders can jump
07:57Up to 40 times the length
07:59Of their body
08:01Or up to the height of a palm
08:03On top of the palm
08:05They can move the plant
08:07To catch prey
08:09Or avoid predators
08:11Like birds and bats
08:13Their eyes
08:15Are their partner
08:17For a better jump
08:29Spiders are carnivorous
08:31They eat other smaller animals
08:35Because of this
08:37They control the population of insects
08:39Like mosquitos, flies
08:41And mosquitos
08:43And for me
08:45The real miracle of Mt. Mariam Makiling
08:47Can be seen
08:49In the abilities
08:51Of the insects that live here
08:53Mt. Makiling
08:55Is not only full of stories
08:57Of miracles
08:59It also tells the story
09:01Of small creatures
09:03That we don't notice
09:05But there's a big part
09:07In the growth of the forest
09:09So let's not underestimate them
09:11The real miracle of Mt. Makiling
09:15In Pansol, Laguna
09:19There's a legend
09:21That was believed
09:25It's about a bird
09:27That lives in a nest
09:33Every time it flies
09:35It can be heard
09:37From outside
09:39Of houses
09:43The target
09:45Of the bird
09:47Are bats
09:53The bird has a scary sound
09:59This is the reason
10:01Why it's called
10:03Is this story true?
10:116 months old
10:13Tess
10:15Closes her house
10:17Every night
10:29Leia also heard
10:31The sound of a bat
10:33When I gave birth
10:35To my 3rd child
10:37There's always a sound
10:39Like a tick
10:41Of a bat
10:47The eyes are red
10:49And twinkling
10:51The beak is sharp
10:55It has a long beak
10:57And
10:59It shows at night
11:03But
11:05The bat is suspicious
11:11There's another
11:13Black-crowned night heron
11:15It's called
11:17In some places in the Philippines
11:19The bats
11:21Are far
11:23From the beliefs
11:29Of the black-crowned night heron
11:31This mother
11:33Came back from
11:35Looking for food
11:37She brought
11:39The fish
11:41For her chicks
11:43The bigger chick
11:45Came first
11:53Because it's big
11:55The first
11:57Chick ate all
11:59The food
12:01The mother brought
12:03So the second
12:05Chick couldn't eat
12:07The mother
12:09Went out
12:11To get more food
12:13The mother
12:15Couldn't stand
12:17The hungry chicks
12:19The black-crowned night heron
12:21Are crepuscular
12:23It means
12:25They're active
12:27Every day
12:31But
12:33The situation is different
12:35If they already have a child
12:37If they already have a chick
12:39You need to feed them
12:41Constantly
12:43Every few hours
12:45Or even every few 30 minutes
12:47You need to feed them
12:49Even if it's a holiday
12:51But
12:53It's not easy
12:57They come back
12:59To look for food
13:11You can see the tiring
13:13Scene of the bird family
13:17Here we can see
13:19The reddish tree
13:21That looks like their home
13:23We can see
13:25On our eye level
13:27They're crossing
13:29To Laguna de Bay
13:31After hunting
13:33For food
13:35They're going back
13:37We can see different directions
13:39On this tree
13:41At the back of the resort
13:43They chose to live
13:49Later
13:51They're landing
13:53Wow!
13:55Their landing is so graceful
13:59We're happy to see
14:01The night heron family
14:03This resort
14:05Has a special visitor
14:07In Pansol, Calamba
14:09They didn't come here
14:11For vacation or swimming
14:13They came here
14:15To look for a safe place
14:17To make their home
14:19They're the
14:21Black-crowned night heron
14:23Although it's a resort
14:25You can see that
14:27People and animals
14:29Co-exist here
14:31One good example
14:33Is that
14:35Black-crowned night heron
14:37Sanctuary
14:39At the back
14:41Of the rooms
14:43You can see the trees
14:45I see one, two, three
14:47Four, five, six, seven, eight
14:49Nine, ten
14:51And there are
14:53Around
14:55Four to five trees
14:57To make nests
14:59For these black-crowned night herons
15:05To cool their feelings
15:07They move
15:09The moss
15:11To regulate their temperature
15:15Until
15:17A bird
15:19Approaches it
15:21While this bird
15:23Returns inside
15:25The tree where
15:27Their nests are waiting
15:29Carried by
15:31Parental instinct
15:33The bird immediately
15:35Approaches their nest
15:41We found one there
15:43Where did you get it?
15:45I think they have a nest
15:47In the mango tree
15:49And then it fell
15:51And I think he's hurt
15:53His eyes are infected
15:55Maybe that's why
15:57He got injured
15:59By the way, I'm a vet
16:01And I can take care of it
16:05This is a
16:07Juvenile black-crowned heron
16:09Night heron
16:11This is their
16:13Nesting area
16:15So maybe
16:17He went there
16:19Because his eyes are injured
16:21But at this age
16:23They're starting to fly already
16:25He fell in the nest
16:27Thank you for your concern
16:29You can see this
16:31I would never thought
16:33That I can handle a juvenile
16:35But here, someone came
16:37And surrendered
16:39He's a crowned night heron
16:41He looks strong
16:43But his eyes are infected
16:45So we'll treat him later
16:47If you'll look closely
16:49The appearance of the juvenile
16:51And the adult black-crowned heron is different
16:53The eyes of the juvenile
16:55Are brown and yellow
16:57While the eyes of the adult
16:59Are white and gray
17:01With a black crown
17:03And red eyes
17:05As they grow
17:07They go through
17:09The malting stage
17:11Where their body
17:13And eyes change color
17:17The injury of this bird
17:19Is minor
17:21This black-crowned night heron
17:23And it's just in the eye
17:25We're just going to apply some
17:27Medications
17:31And then I'll just give it some
17:33Antibiotics
17:35To ensure
17:37To prevent its infection
17:43And then we'll just let it go
17:45Okay
17:47Time to release this
17:49Juvenile night heron
17:51Hopefully it will take off
17:53One, two, three, go
17:59Alright
18:01Later
18:05Later
18:11The bird that is often mistaken
18:13For a black-crowned heron
18:15Just wants to protect
18:17Its family
18:19It's important
18:21That we understand these things
18:25One of the sounds that you would hear
18:27From the black-crowned heron
18:29Is the quack
18:31It has a rasping sound
18:33It has a quack
18:35I think the name quack
18:37Applies because
18:39It's onomatopoeic
18:41So the sound of the bird
18:43Is what we call it
18:47They are predators
18:49Of small animals
18:51And they eat biowasks,
18:53Crocodiles, and other large birds
18:55And because they eat fish
18:57They help
18:59In controlling
19:01The invasive species of fish
19:03That are endangered
19:05Like the Laguna de Bay
19:13Black-crowned night herons
19:15Are not like dogs
19:17Their quack
19:19Is to fly high and far
19:23Their squint
19:25Is to fight in the dark
19:27Their scary sound
19:29Is their way
19:31To talk to
19:33Other species
19:35They are
19:37A flock of birds
19:39That have a great
19:41Resemblance to nature
19:43And that
19:45Is the knowledge
19:47That we should believe
