00:00Forrest Galante
00:30wildlife expert and conservationist.
00:35And I'm here to take you on a journey.
00:39To a place you've probably never heard of.
00:43Because until now, it has been kept a secret.
00:48It is unmatched by any other place on Earth.
00:53For those lucky enough to make it here,
00:56it is a refuge.
00:59A sanctuary.
01:00A place to live their lives in safety and in peace.
01:07In a world that has forgotten the importance of nature,
01:11a new Eden has been born.
01:16A place for animals to thrive.
01:19Because this isn't a zoo.
01:26This is an ark.
01:30This is Ventara.
01:33This is the world's largest animal rescue center.
01:573,500 acres and still growing.
02:03It has several thousand animals.
02:07Hundreds of species.
02:08Hundreds of species.
02:10And access to the best vets and handlers in the world.
02:15Their combined expertise means Ventara will be there
02:20for any animal in need.
02:22Anywhere in the world.
02:25Anywhere in the world.
02:26At any time.
02:35Tonight, a very special new guest is coming in.
02:39Perhaps India's most iconic animal.
02:53But one that is disappearing in the wild.
02:56Do you know where the world is?
02:57Is it something like that?
02:58Is it going to help you?
02:59Is it going to help you?
03:00Are you well? Good to see you. Exciting day.
03:17Hi, how are you? Nice to see you.
03:21Why don't you lift it?
03:23Are you sure? All right, you do the next one then.
03:25You lift it.
03:30Vantara is all the vision of one man, Anant Ambani.
03:40First rescued an animal from the slaughterhouse in Mumbai.
03:45My grandfather took me and it was a chicken.
03:47A chicken?
03:48So my first ever animal, I was two years old and I got a chicken.
03:50And then I had 500 chickens because every time I did something good,
03:53my grandfather said, go get a chicken, go get a chicken, go get a chicken.
03:56That's how it all started.
04:01And then slowly I thought that there are a lot of people doing a lot for domestic animals.
04:06But for the wild, there are very few people who do rescue, rehabilitation and conservation breeding.
04:13So I thought this should become the hub.
04:15And I started this about, my first elephant I rescued was in 2007.
04:20I was, I think, 12 or 13 years old.
04:29Okay.
04:30When I rescued my first ever baby elephant.
04:34She was not a baby.
04:35I call her baby because she was a baby to me.
04:36To you.
04:37But she was 30 years old.
04:38Her name was Gaudi.
04:41So I was in the car and I saw her walk with a person who was making a beg.
04:46Yeah.
04:47To, and to survive for himself also.
04:50Sure.
04:51On your very first rescue, you rescued her and the mahout.
04:53Yes, yes, yes.
04:54And you brought them both.
04:55Yes.
04:56Actually, Kailash became a good friend.
04:57Oh, wow.
04:58So I maybe met him 10 times and I met him and I told him that, you know, we'll get you a better life.
05:03You can stay there with the elephant.
05:04The elephant will have a better life.
05:05He will have a better life.
05:06He will have a better life.
05:07Wow.
05:08My friend is my friend, my friend is our knowledge
05:18Our friend is our knowledge
05:23How many hands have you been told?
05:28How many hands have you been told?
05:33How many hands have you been told?
05:43Ventara employs some of the best veterinarians, animal behaviorists and biologists in the world
05:53Which means rescues can come from anywhere on the planet
05:57Like these giant otters, saved from a meat market in South America
06:02The staff here have built an incredible, lifelike waterfall
06:07To replicate the otters' freshwater habitat
06:11But today, the waterfalls dried up
06:14So the otters have been confined to their night shelters
06:17My babies are crying
06:19And the resident otters are not shy with their displeasure
06:24So much complaining going on
06:28Oh, listen, listen, listen
06:30We're gonna fix it, we're gonna fix it, I promise
06:34We are, we'll fix it
06:36Let's go see outside where it is
06:39Yeah
06:48It's underwater there
06:49Okay, well, no waterfall, that means some sad otters up here
06:54Oh yeah, it's bone dry up here
06:55Exactly
06:56So they used to sunbusk through the waterfall
06:58Uh-huh
06:59You know, just like the natural river streams
07:01Yeah, sure
07:02They love the flowing water
07:04And moreover, they don't like any stagnant water
07:06If their pond is without waterfall
07:09They know what they want
07:11And they will try to express to us
07:13And we are here to understand their language
07:16They have a good maintenance team over here
07:18By evening, they'll get their waterfall back
07:21The maintenance team will drain the pond to repair the issue
07:25So in the meantime, Mavesh wants to introduce me to his favourite
07:29And perhaps most controversial resident
07:34Who's in here?
07:35This is our pancham
07:36And he was a man-eater
07:38And we rescued him
07:40And it's been told that almost eight to ten people have been killed by this pancham
07:45By this individual?
07:46Yes, by this individual
07:47I don't see him
07:49Jesus
07:50Jesus
07:51Oh
07:52Jesus
07:57Boy, that is awfully scary
08:05200 years ago
08:06An animal killed a human
08:08Became a man-eater
08:09Yeah
08:10The resolution was a bullet to the head
08:12Yeah
08:13Today
08:14Why keep a man-eater alive?
08:16Alive
08:17Because it's alive
08:18He has its own
08:19But so is a human that kills people
08:21But the thing is
08:22There are reasons for the animal to be
08:25And you know
08:26Basically the human-life conflict
08:28Why it happens?
08:29We have to understand that
08:31Because tigers
08:32Once they are aged
08:34They may not be able to hunt from the forest
08:37Then they'll come into the human settlement area
08:39First thing
08:40First thing
08:41And the other thing is
08:42When we brought pancham here
08:43He was not able to eat properly
08:45Why?
08:46All his four canines
08:47Is completely rotten
08:49He's not able to hunt animals basically
08:51That's why he was in a mood
08:54He was always getting the human beings
08:57Nearby human beings
08:58When the human beings enter into the forest
09:02So it's easy
09:03It's easy for a tiger to you know
09:05Just smash him and put it down
09:07He don't want to chase
09:09You know
09:10He don't want to run
09:11The thing is
09:12What are the circumstances
09:15Which made pancham
09:17To attack a human being?
09:19That's what we have to understand first
09:21Nobody is bothered about that
09:23Yeah, he's a man-eater
09:24Catch him
09:25Trap him
09:26Kill him
09:27No
09:28You have to understand
09:29Why?
09:30What made him to?
09:31If the human beings encroach
09:33To the wildlife area
09:34Then obviously
09:36There will be human-wildlife conflict
09:38Not by birth
09:40He's a killer
09:41From here
09:42All the four canines got root canaled
09:45Devantara
09:47Did all the four canines root canaled
09:50And now
09:51He is eating
09:52Almost 12 kg
09:53Whoa
09:55Whoa
09:58Now I have seen many times
10:00Wow
10:01Even through the cage
10:02That gave me a
10:03Look at this
10:04You know
10:05Still at it vibrating
10:06So in the two years
10:07That he's been here
10:08Yeah
10:09Has his temperament changed?
10:10As of now, no
10:15Pancham is lucky
10:16Despite what some might see as his crimes
10:19He's found a home here
10:21Where he can live out his days
10:23Well-fed
10:24And pain-free
10:25The staff at Ventara have a constant stream of new animals
10:40Arriving from a wide variety of circumstances
10:44For those fleeing a traumatic past
10:47For those fleeing a traumatic past
10:48Animal behaviorists like Kunj Joshi
10:51Are on hand to greet them
10:5420?
10:5530
10:5630?
10:57A lot of elephants
11:01But they are going to live a better life
11:06There are over 200 rescued elephants here at Ventara
11:09Most are victims of horrible abuse
11:14They've come from logging, tourist rides, and the circus
11:22Elephants, it seems, can be both revered and abused
11:28Today's 30 new arrivals are all former logging elephants
11:33Anything's better than being a logging elephant
11:36Yeah
11:37And getting pulled and hit on the head
11:39That's painful
11:42Even being a huge animal
11:45If they are broken down mentally
11:48Then they will follow
11:49So this is what they do
11:51They work on their brain
11:52They break them through their mind
11:54They break their soul
11:56They starve them
11:57And they shackle them
11:59Then they hit them
12:00They use a lot of tools
12:02Force them to do only one job
12:05That's drag the logs
12:08There, there, you can see the ambulance
12:10Yeah, I see them
12:11I see them, I see them
12:12There we go
12:14Look at that trunk sticking out the top
12:18Are you excited to meet the new ones?
12:20Yeah
12:21You know, they have a lot of different personalities
12:23Sure
12:24So as a behavioral logist
12:25I observe them, okay
12:26Of course
12:27This one is playful
12:28This one is popular
12:29Oh
12:32The community actually, they contacted us
12:39And like we went for them to help
12:44They were in very poor health condition, I would say
12:47So we started with the medical treatments
12:50And screening them, vaccinating them
12:52It was a period of like, I would say, two, three months
12:56Which took us to get to the point where we can transport these elephants
13:01In a healthy condition
13:02Marigold represents the positive energy
13:08Okay
13:09And the brightness in their life
13:10Okay
13:11And rose and jasmine that provides the fragrance
13:13Because they have been smelling a lot of things around
13:15Sure
13:16And then when they smell this, they feel a really new place
13:19That they're gonna enjoy
13:21You're gonna enjoy
13:29Welcome
13:30You can see the caretakers are constantly with them
13:49So that elephant will feel comfortable
13:51These elephants have grown accustomed to having a rider
13:56So their mahout will guide them to their new home
13:59Today is the last day they will ever be ridden
14:02So that's like worshipping the god, welcoming the god
14:05Please provide your positive energy with us
14:10The roses and the marigold and the jasmine flowers
14:15This is how we welcome anyone in India
14:19My major role is to relieve them from the stress that they came with
14:30They were used and they were, you know, traumatised
14:34And forced to do all of these things
14:36And they needed our help
14:39That's when we rescued these elephants
14:42Providing them the better health and well-care
14:52She is checking
14:53Yeah
14:55So the mother has a traumatic past
14:57She was logging
14:59Whenever she used to drag these logs
15:01The calf will be, you know, moving around just near her
15:04And seeing what my mother is doing
15:06Imagine seeing this thing
15:09She was in so much pain
15:11What is she learning from her?
15:15She is so intelligent that she is like
15:17Uh-uh, I'm not gonna let you do the same with me
15:21But she is going to get a bright future here
15:23Little thing's stressed
15:35So they will use positive reinforcement trainings
15:38Where they will forget all their negative interaction previously
15:41How it was done
15:42And then they will become gentle and calm
15:44Wow, that one's a bit bigger
15:50The road to Ventara is long
15:52Hello, welcome
15:54But when they arrive here
15:55They'll start a new life
15:57They are free now
15:59One where they get to choose how they live
16:04When an animal arrives at Ventara
16:18The staff work hard to ensure mental and physical health
16:23From the largest elephant to the smallest canine
16:28And that's what Dr. Patel is here for
16:34I'd say it's 60-40
16:4660% that he's not gonna make it
16:48But that's one of the great things about here
16:50Is they never give up
16:51Try and make this
16:53Right, this is what we can
16:55Um, here we go
16:57What's the hell?
17:00Okay, we're on the side there
17:02Yesterday when he was presented
17:04Yeah
17:05Uh, he was, uh, hypothermic
17:08Blood glucose level was low
17:10Okay
17:11And, uh, blood pressure was low
17:14So he was in shock
17:16How's his temperature now?
17:17Now it is, uh, 98.8
17:20Much higher
17:21This is normal temperature for him
17:22So where would this mange come from?
17:24Legate means due to mites
17:27Which we call as, call as scabies
17:30If left untreated
17:31How long would he live in this condition?
17:34Uh, he will not, uh, live more than one day
17:37Yeah
17:47Shame, they're such beautiful little animals
17:49But like this they look terrible
17:51Terrible
17:53Maybe from tomorrow we will stop fluid therapy
17:56Mm-hmm
17:57And we will just maintain him on oral antibiotics
18:00It's okay, okay, it's okay
18:04Everybody's just trying to help you, okay?
18:07You're okay
18:10Mange is a classic illness animals can get when they're stressed
18:13As a result, keeping animals relaxed here is taken very seriously
18:30Sometimes, however, it's the animals causing each other stress
18:35Here in the greater Kudu enclosure
18:39A couple of the younger males
18:41Have apparently become aggressive with the rest of the herd
18:44So head vet Dr. George Soares is on his way to introduce them to a new enclosure
18:51Got two bowls on the right here
18:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
18:54And he's asking for my help
18:56My name is George Soares, I came from Portugal
18:59And I am the head veterinary here in Ventara
19:02Before I came to Ventara, I was working in Ethiopia for this conservation project there
19:08And I just was contacted about this project in India
19:12And that was really, you know, the state of art
19:15All across Ventara, Dr. Soares is called in to support and advise the veterinary team on treatment
19:22For a wide variety of species
19:24At this stage, these animals would have been moving already from the group
19:29So naturally, that would occur anyhow
19:32The increased number of males can originate a lot of tension in the group
19:38Competing for food, which in the wild, they would move anywhere
19:42Let me go to the other side
19:49So moving these animals reduce stress, makes the group a bit more stable
19:53And avoids future problems
20:00As a wildlife veterinary, you work with everything that is not domestic
20:04And is not a human
20:06They are spooked
20:08Everything else is under our scope
20:09So it's a huge, huge field
20:14What we are going to do here is a general anesthesia
20:17You know, it seems a very simple process like shooting a dart
20:23But there is a lot of things there
20:25It's the drugs that are there
20:27It's the impact that that drug has on the animal
20:30It's the sight that you shoot the animal
20:31So it's not just shooting the animal
20:34So it's not just shooting the animal
20:38Good job
20:42You see, he's already coming in this direction
20:45Let's see if now the other one is coming
20:49He's already feeling the effects
20:50They are a bit spooked
20:51Unfortunately, in most veterinary schools wildlife is not a particularly big subject
21:07So a lot of the things that you apply when you work with wildlife is something that you just
21:12You know, you have the principles of medicine
21:15But a lot of the knowledge about the species, the way that they behave
21:20Stimating weights and so on is basically experience working with these animals
21:25Most of these things are not in textbooks
21:28You get a shot from here
21:30You get a shot from here
21:31You get a shot from here
21:37Okay, I try the other side
21:38I try the other side
21:57This one's getting a bit slow
21:59Yeah, that is the first one, I think
22:01Mm-hmm, definitely
22:02Okay, guys, let's capture this guy
22:14Grab him, there we go
22:18Yes
22:19Down
22:21Careful, huh?
22:22Careful, huh?
22:30The other one already down?
22:35So he's still a bit awake
22:37But he will come
22:39He will come
22:41So it's an animal that jumps
22:43So we need to be very conscious about the behaviour
22:46If it's a good day to capture or not
22:48If the animals are willing to have this intruder in their environment or not
22:54So you need to read all these very quickly
22:57Because they don't give you much warning
23:00Wait, he's gonna go, he's gonna go, he's gonna go
23:03You cannot speak to them and say, calm down, calm down
23:07That is not gonna happen
23:09Don't, don't come out
23:11Don't, just be careful
23:12Careful
23:18Come on now
23:22The dart thing
23:23Still not, not completely
23:25No
23:27When you enter, you need to make sure that the animals are calm
23:31Not yet
23:33Obviously if you shoot one dart
23:35The next animal that you're gonna dart
23:38Are in a completely different level of excitement
23:40Careful
23:42Watch out
23:43So the second animal
23:45It's probably gonna take a bit longer to go down
23:49Just because there is that stress environment on the play
23:54Watch out
23:56Hey, hey
24:02Uh oh
24:03More and more I think it's important because what was a normal animal to see in a wildlife setup, it's not anymore
24:13Not yet
24:15But almost, almost
24:18Those populations have been reduced tremendously
24:21The ecosystems are at risk
24:22So our function is more and more fundamental because we are not just applying this knowledge in captive environments but we are also applying this in nature
24:40You want a second hand?
24:42Yeah, just put it
24:44Okay, okay, okay
24:46Still light
24:48How many minutes?
24:5012?
24:53Put myself on this
24:55I grab it with the right
24:57And then
25:01Just put it around the eyes
25:03There we go
25:06Oh, there we go
25:08There we go
25:10There we go
25:11He's down
25:13It's not just the big, exciting creatures that get preferential treatment here
25:18Pretty nice
25:20It's all animals
25:22The philosophy here?
25:24Never say no
25:26If an animal is in trouble and needs help
25:28Then that animal will get help
25:30Okay
25:34Okay
25:35I told you that one's gonna be ready fast
25:46Okay
25:48Get that towel off
25:50Careful, huh?
25:52There we go
25:53So they will become adult like they do in the wild
25:56But what we create is a bachelor group where they actually socialize
26:01Which occurs in nature as well
26:03This one waking up a bit?
26:09Watch yourself
26:13Just grab his horns if he comes at you
26:19So we mimetize all that that happens in the wild
26:23For management reasons, for the safety of the group
26:26For reducing stress as much as we possibly can
26:29Witnessing the work done by the staff here at Ventara, it's obvious they're some of the best of the best
26:45Which is key because some of the rescues, like elephants, forced into a lifetime of brutal servitude
26:51Their physical and mental scars
26:54So imagine spending 30, 40 years of your life in a device like this being broken because you can't train an animal like this, you have to break them in order to get them to do what you want and until they came here, that's what these two big beautiful girls would have been facing these cruel cruel, cruel, unbelievable torture devices.
27:09Wrapped around their necks, wrapped around their ankles, wrapped around their ankles, I'm just going to take these things here, put them down in front of them, like that, these awful, awful devices.
27:30Look at the dexterity in which she's picking it up, feeling it, smelling it.
27:49It's okay, it's okay.
27:51Oh, look at that.
27:52She's lifting her foot up to have her chain foot on.
27:55That's crazy.
27:56That's a plumbing response that they're using.
28:13She's smelling the air, she's smelling the things that are coming off of that.
28:16And it's triggering these memories.
28:23She remembers her life in those chains.
28:33As they say, an elephant never forgets.
28:36The emotional intelligence of elephants is something that a human being could never comprehend.
28:42They feel so deeply, they feel happiness so much happier than we ever do, or sadness so much greater than we ever will.
28:50And to think that they would spend a life in those chains and yet form a bond with the people that put them in those chains.
28:59This relationship built on abuse where elephants get abused by their mahouts and yet they're so bonded to them that pulling them away from that mahout can literally kill them of a broken heart.
29:10One of the most remarkable things about Ventara is that it not only provides a new life for elephants forced into labor, but the mahouts that used to own them as well.
29:23Take the example of Rakesh and his elephant, Lakimuni.
29:27Rakesh, you have three children?
29:30Three.
29:32And one.
29:34And one boy.
29:35Ah, okay, nice.
29:37Try and take a minute to put yourself in his shoes.
29:39Being a father myself, I would do anything I could to feed my family and take care of my family.
29:44Imagine the only way to feed your family is to go into the forest, catch an elephant, and use it to beg with for many, many years.
29:52Until Lakimuni's story was heard, until they were brought here together.
30:00You never had a jacket in your life, right?
30:03You never had shoes before?
30:05The company?
30:07You grew to love Ventara as much as Lakimuni here loves Ventara.
30:11Yes?
30:12And after a life of Lakimuni serving Rakesh, Rakesh now serves Lakimuni, where they can all live happily, rehabbing not just animals, but people.
30:33Ventara has reversed the roles from elephants serving the mahouts to the mahouts serving the elephants.
30:40It might not make up for the suffering they faced in their past lives, but their futures are certainly a little more relaxed.
30:52Oh my goodness, this is the life of luxury, huh? This is actual nail filing, right?
31:09Yeah, yeah.
31:10What's the purpose of this? That doesn't just happen in the wild?
31:12Wow.
31:13So when an elephant has properly shaped toenails, they can stand properly.
31:17Yeah.
31:18When the toenail is elongated, then the entire weight distribution is changed.
31:23And when that happens, the delicate joints of the digits, they are all affected.
31:28So that will cause multiple arthritis happening here, here, and then eventually the lifespan is affected.
31:35And it can, if not pay proper attention, foot ailments can even cause deaths.
31:43We call them the ballerinas of the animal world.
31:47And this is because they actually stand on the tips of their toes.
31:51So they are called digitigrade animals.
31:53So they have, like, 3.5 tons, 4 tons of weight that are distributed on the tips of their toes.
32:01So we can imagine, like, how important the health of those toes or those feet are to the overall health of the animal.
32:10So every elephant has a scheduled pedicure on their daily routine.
32:14Okay.
32:15They come back, they get a foot wash, and then they get brushed.
32:21Can I help give her a pedicure? I've never done an elephant pedicure before.
32:25Of course.
32:26When you go trimming, so you go from the surface, like this.
32:30So let's give it a whirl here.
32:32Uh-huh.
32:36So this hump of the nail you'd want to smooth flat.
32:39Is that right?
32:40Yes.
32:41Oh, you have to be stronger than that.
32:47Yeah, you're working with an elephant.
32:49Fair enough.
32:50Oh, yeah, you have to really get in there.
32:52Yeah.
32:53Wow.
32:54That's much harder than I thought.
32:55Look at that.
32:56And you know when to stop when this area comes, like, really, really pink.
33:01Yeah, so this is pinkening, right?
33:03Yeah, but it's peachy, so it's fine.
33:05Okay, so that's so it can keep going.
33:11She's such a sweetie.
33:12What's Cecele's name?
33:14Pawan Kali.
33:15Pawan Kali.
33:16Yeah.
33:17Pawan means wind, and Kali means flower.
33:19So let's say flower of the winds.
33:20Oh, that's beautiful.
33:21And then the scrub brush, is that just like an exfoliation?
33:27What's that?
33:28It's both, actually.
33:29It's also, apart from an exfoliation, it's also to increase the circulation.
33:34I love how every few minutes she lets out a sigh of, like, it just feels so good.
33:46You know, whatever we do, we try to associate it with a positive note.
33:50Sure.
33:51We provide her treats, we provide her massages, we provide her with vocal, you know, commands
33:56that indicate that, okay, we are very happy.
33:59So we say shabash, means very good.
34:01Sweet.
34:02We pat and then we say shabash.
34:04That means you're doing well.
34:06Shabash.
34:07Shabash.
34:08Not here, but it's nice if you pat here.
34:11Okay.
34:12Like that.
34:13She has to feel it.
34:14It's an elephant.
34:15Go ahead.
34:16Okay.
34:17Shabash.
34:18Yeah.
34:19Better?
34:20Yeah, good.
34:21For each elephant, we assign a minimum of two keepers or mahouts.
34:28And then we have a lead keeper who keeps a watch over all the keepers.
34:33And then we have a team of biologists that constantly monitor these elephants.
34:38Then we have a team of veterinarians comprising of the veterinary doctors.
34:42And, of course, we also have the veterinary assistants.
34:46So no elephant goes, you know, unmonitored.
34:49Here, I'll give her this apple.
34:51Here.
34:52Look at that.
34:53Right in that big old slimy tongue.
34:55Oh, yeah.
34:56Good girl.
34:57That's slimy.
34:58Oh, yes.
34:59Look at you.
35:00She barely even moves her lips.
35:02She's just, like, so happy right now.
35:04Oh, she's very pampered.
35:16Okay.
35:17Back to real life.
35:18Back at the giant otter habitat, the maintenance team is hard at work repairing the waterfall.
35:27And they've pinpointed the source of the problem.
35:30There is an otter playing with the soil and going to the water pond.
35:36Again, go to the soil.
35:38Again, take the bath.
35:39This is too much.
35:41Yeah, otter is totally naughty guy.
35:42Yeah.
35:43We have to de-chock that line and make this recirculation system to be finished.
35:54Here they come.
35:55Here they come.
35:56Here they come.
35:57Here they come.
35:58Here they come.
35:59Here they come.
36:00Here they come.
36:01Here they come.
36:02Here they come.
36:03Here they come.
36:04Here they come.
36:05Here they come.
36:07Here they come.
36:14Here they come.
36:20Here they come.
36:21Here they come.
36:27Here they come.
36:28They just ... they're just so darn cute though.
36:40I mean, you look at them, and you want to kiss them right on the face.
36:46If you do, they will rip your lips clean off of your face.
36:51Look at this greedy guy, he's got one in his mouth and he's trying to take the other one with him.
36:56These funny little things are the only animal that I've ever seen chase a jaguar.
37:03Jaguar will come walking along and if a group of otters comes by it will go running out of there
37:10because these guys, as a group, they're just a ferocious little animal.
37:15I say little, but they get up to six feet long.
37:19If you look at these chest markings, every single otter's chest markings is like our fingerprint.
37:24It's completely unique to them and there's even belief that they identify each other based on their chest markings.
37:31They're so cute.
37:38Some happy otters right there.
37:49With the otter crisis solved, I'm heading over to check on an old feline friend.
38:01Our tiger, who came in earlier named Sweetheart, has settled into his new quarantine enclosure, where his doctors can keep a close eye on him.
38:10And now they're sitting inside, under that table.
38:13Yeah, he's staying nice and hidden.
38:15Now, he's got three months ahead of him, 90 days.
38:1890 days of quarantine and in this quarantine, it will undergo the screening for other diseases.
38:23After that, we undergo vaccination and deworming.
38:26And after that, if the health is everything is okay, then we send the animal to someone on the other side.
38:32He is beautiful.
38:42I've decided to check on the fennec fox suffering from mage.
38:46Initially, his prognosis was not good.
38:49But he's beaten the odds.
38:51His coat is looking much better.
38:53He's thriving again.
38:55And crucially, he's happy due to being in a perfectly tailored environment.
39:00He has social structure, good food, climate control, daily enrichment, and close observation.
39:08This will help keep his immune system strong and more able to fight off low-grade infections like mage.
39:16It's been a few weeks since treatment on our beautiful little fennec fox here.
39:20And look at how much better he's looking.
39:22His mane just cleared up.
39:23His fur is growing back.
39:24And he's out in this beautiful enclosure, well on his road to recovery.
39:39It's all so overstimulating and overwhelming
39:44to try and understand and comprehend the size, the scale, and really and truly the servitude to animals.
39:56But imagine how much suffering they've actually been through and how much mental anguish they're fighting with.
40:01What you see is happy, free animals, animals getting a massage, getting an oil bath.
40:11It's a testament to the amazing team of doctors, behaviorists, keepers, and others that you just can't find anywhere else on the planet.
40:20Any animal that is in need under human care, if they require any type of help, Vantara is going to stand there to protect those animals, to be guardians of them.
40:35Who else can speak for them?
40:39So, on behalf of them, people like me and my team will speak for them.
40:47Just because they may not be able to fly on a plane, drive a car, or do a math problem, doesn't disqualify them from the right to existence.
40:56And that's what I believe in.
40:58People that dedicate their lives to the protection of these species are really important voices.
41:07And that voice is becoming louder, clearer, and more sharp.
41:13But we need to have those actions in place because we don't have much time.
41:18If we want to continue surviving as a species that we are, we need to do much more for this planet than what we are doing.
41:28So far we can build something that we are pushing for people.
41:30That's aajj рек nuthing that is so easy in places to do.
41:32And that's not what we can do
41:34Jeffrey Worshey, Jr., Jason is a jewelry series, which is kind of a very modest concept.
41:35We have a equitysemestre.
41:36For long time for public assistance, he will be available on the right to rolling off the platform.
41:38On the right, two days we are good, one day, two days she was very good.
41:41Chris Pendleton is going to be like summer, esempio.
41:44So I want to keep workingpert with the mastermind.
41:46Bob and Angela Galactus.
41:49I wanted to bring myself to this time because it's divertida Brooklyn.
41:53How to guide bothน Monroe.
41:55My parents wisdom will even be able to include inspiration for many people,
41:57and wine, but my parents have been gifted,
