00:00Good evening, Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim, who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
00:09In the province of Catanduanes, one of the rarest fish in the world is stranded.
00:14How did the mega mouth shark, which is very rare, get stranded in their harbour?
00:24The residents of Parangay Tubli in Karamun, Catanduanes, are always in a mess.
00:29In their harbour, a stranded fish is seen. It has a different look.
00:34The fish is more than 5 meters long. Its head is very big and its mouth is very wide.
00:45The fish seen in Parangay Tubli is not a common fish.
00:48It is considered the rarest fish in the world, the mega mouth shark.
00:52Kuya Kim, what now?
00:56The mega mouth shark is very rare to humans.
01:00This fish is rare because they are deep water sharks.
01:04They can be found in deep seas.
01:08In fact, more than 200 specimens have been documented and studied since it was discovered in 1976 in Oahu, Hawaii.
01:15The latest record is that there are only 296 sightings since it was discovered.
01:22The most sightings are in Taiwan, where there are more than 150 sightings.
01:27In the Philippines, the number 2 is in the 39 recorded specimens.
01:32It will be remembered that in 2023, a mega mouth shark was found in Dipakulao, Aurora.
01:38The babies were here because the mother was already dead.
01:41What is the fate of the stranded mega mouth shark in Catanduanes?
01:45The residents were desperate to rescue the fish.
01:48People have been helping the fish five times to survive.
01:52It really comes back to the deep sea.
01:57But after a few hours, it was brought back to life.
02:00The result is that it always dies.
02:03Because they are not for the deep sea.
02:06They should live here in the deep sea.
02:08We told the mayor to just look through the boat.
02:12It is now possible to understand why a mega mouth shark was stranded in their barangay.
02:16We didn't see anything. It was like it was stranded.
02:18There were no injuries.
02:20There is no theory as to why they were stranded.
02:24But definitely, when they were caught, they were caught in the mud.
02:27But do you know why the mega mouth shark has such a big mouth?
02:31Mega mouth shark?
02:34The reason why we call it a mega mouth shark is because of its big and round mouth.
02:40It has a width of 4 feet.
02:42They are filter feeders.
02:44When they swim, they open their big mouth to filter in the prey that they will eat.
