00:00There are islands that are not easy to reach.

00:12Most of the time, the journey is far and dangerous.

00:20That is why this sanctuary is preserved with different life forms.

00:30Where they are free to live and multiply.

00:37The Island of Nitsilu

00:55Nitsilu is a paradise for fishermen.

01:02This is where they often catch eggs.

01:07That is why the residents of Nitsilu call it Turtle Island.

01:18When the sun rises,

01:27it seems like there is a danger to the fish eggs.

01:32Because not only sea turtles live on the island.

01:42They eat the eggs.

01:48Sir, are these eggs hatched or eaten by the turtles?

01:52They eat the eggs.

01:54They eat the eggs.

01:55They eat the eggs.

02:02Look at this.

02:03It looks like it was really eaten by the turtles.

02:09A few minutes later,

02:14we caught a turtle that was resting on a tree.

02:20Its head is so big.

02:24It came down to go around.

02:27And it stopped in the middle of the ocean to enjoy the waves.

02:47When it felt hungry,

02:50the turtle went around the island to look for food.

03:01The eggs of the turtle that it hatched

03:05could be put in danger.

03:08But when it felt that it is not alone on the island,

03:12the turtle suddenly ran across the sea.

03:21The turtle went to the sea.

03:26This is the first time I have seen a turtle swimming in the sea.

03:31This is the first time I have seen a turtle swimming in the sea.

03:46I followed the turtle.

03:52But it suddenly disappeared.

03:56It's gone.

03:59Until this is the first time I have seen a turtle swimming in the sea.

04:10I followed the turtle.

04:13Until

04:19I witnessed that it can even swim.

04:26The turtle used its tail as a propeller when swimming.

04:40To find out more,

04:42we went with the Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources and Energy of Menre Barm

04:48in Sulu to catch a turtle.

04:51It's amazing.

04:53It's natural for them to swim.

04:57We found a healthy turtle.

05:01We have Sir Needs and Sir Bourbon

05:04who I'm going to train in handling the monitor lizard.

05:09There are two of them.

05:11We will take advantage of training them

05:17because they attend seminars.

05:18But it's more like lectures.

05:21Pictures.

05:23Now, they will experience the actual handling of wildlife.

05:28It was my very first experience.

05:31I really admire your teaching.

05:34It was very well explained and demonstrated.

05:39Thank you very much.

05:41It's time to return to his natural habitat, Bibang.

05:45The details of Bibang that we documented

05:51were sent to experts

05:54to find out which of the 11 species of monitor lizards in the Philippines

05:59we caught in Sulu.

06:01Herpetologist Dr. Arvin Jesmos

06:05noticed a monitor lizard or monitor lizard of Sulu.

06:08As of now, we only know of one species

06:12that can be found in Sulu and other islands.

06:17Although, in recent years,

06:20a group of herpetologists studied that island

06:24and they discovered another monitor lizard

06:28which is the 12th species here in the Philippines.

06:32The species of monitor lizard that we documented

06:35is possible to be a descendant of monitor lizards in Malaysia.

06:41A lot of study is needed to understand

06:45how monitor lizards got to the island.

06:49Although, there is another theory.

06:51There is also a possibility that this might be a recent invader

06:56that has descended from many islands across Malaysia.

07:01For example, the nearest would be in Borneo.

07:04In Sabah and so on.

07:06As of now, experts are still trying to find out

07:10which species of monitor lizards we caught.
