00:00We rented the so-called Turtle Island in the province of Sulu.

00:12Not only is Turtle the resident of the island,

00:18he is also called Bibang here.

00:21He needs to look for breakfast.

00:34Until...

00:37He followed the floating fish in the air.

00:45What he found to eat were fish bones.

00:51He found fish bones.

01:00On this island, I first noticed the fossils.

01:08According to the residents, this creature is called Bibang or Bayawak.

01:15It is said that Bayawak eats fish eggs.

01:21Although the eggs of this creature did not run out,

01:26others were left behind.

01:32It is said that the Bibang here have a good hiding place.

01:36Until...

01:44When I caught him in the sea, I was surprised because...

02:01He can swim like a fish.

02:06He uses his tail as a propeller when swimming.

02:15Oh, I got him!

02:19I caught Bayawak to examine him.

02:25Oh my God!

02:28He looks different. He is white-ish here.

02:35Bayawak are predators.

02:37It is natural for them to catch and eat other animals.

02:42At this point, they chose fish as their prey.

02:51This is not a fight that we should be worried about

02:55because the more dangerous thing is us humans.

03:01In Holosulu Wet Market, fish eggs are sold at a high price.

03:11Aside from eggs, adult fish are also targeted.

03:17Because just last year, in Haji Panglima, Tahil,

03:2215 fish were killed by the Philippine National Police Maritime.

03:32The fish were caught.

03:36According to the Philippine National Police,

03:39the fish were from different places and they caught the fish to sell in neighboring countries.

03:47The fish's life is like a war.

03:52Of the 1,000 hatchlings or new fish of the fish,

03:56only one lives or becomes an adult.

04:06If they are lucky enough to reach the adult stage,

04:12they will face the many threats that we humans bring.

04:18There is illegal poaching.

04:21There are also many victims of propellers.

04:27While thousands die due to severe pollution in the sea.

04:36If we do nothing now,

04:40the day will come when they will completely disappear.
