00:00 [Lightning Strike]

00:02 [Music]

00:12 The weather is nice in the jungle

00:16 Everyone is busy looking for food

00:20 [Music]

00:24 [Music]

00:26 Life is hard in the jungle

00:38 The male kagwang or flying lemur

00:40 is just chilling on top of the tree

00:42 But it's more fun when you have company

00:48 When you're bored on a tree

00:52 What are the kagwang waiting for?

00:54 Using their thin skin

00:58 that is attached to the feet

01:00 to the arms of the kagwang

01:02 They are like ninjas

01:06 flying over the trees

01:08 [Music]

01:12 [Music]

01:14 While the other kagwang is busy

01:28 moving the trees

01:30 This one is just relaxing

01:36 and not holding on to the tree

01:40 He's just watching his son

01:42 He's just staring at him

01:46 and it's like he's watching his surroundings

01:48 He's always watching his son

01:52 He's just a bad cat

01:56 that can fall down

01:58 That's why he's very careful

02:02 when taking care of him

02:04 He brings him wherever he goes

02:08 [Music]

02:10 This is a very unique banding

02:16 Until the moment

02:20 when the son is flying

02:22 Until the moment

02:26 when the young kagwang

02:28 becomes independent

02:30 But not like a family

02:32 Kagwang's mom is a single parent

02:36 Their parents are separated

02:38 after giving birth

02:40 But daddy kagwang

02:42 is always visiting them

02:44 to give them food

02:50 Kagwang's territory is well-known

02:58 Not everyone can enter

03:00 especially

03:02 the fierce enemies

03:04 of the Philippine Eagle

03:06 Even if it's a land or a sea

03:14 You can still see the unity of a family

03:18 That's how a clownfish's neighbor is

03:30 [Music]

03:32 Sea anemone is their home

03:36 The clownfish

03:44 are typically found in the sea anemone

03:46 and then there's a big fish

03:48 I don't know if that's the mom

03:50 or that's the dad

03:52 and then there's the mom

03:54 and then there's the babies

03:56 The father of the family

03:58 is their home

04:00 trespassing is prohibited

04:04 His wife and

04:08 his small children are there

04:10 until a happy

04:12 family banding

04:14 that went home in fear

04:16 A group of three-spot

04:20 domino damselfish

04:22 wants to steal their house

04:24 [Music]

04:26 His family

04:30 helped them

04:32 to get rid of the three-spot

04:34 domino damselfish

04:36 Finally

04:42 they got rid of the enemy

04:44 But more than that

04:48 they are protecting their territory

04:52 Because their hundreds of

04:54 children are there

04:56 still in the egg

04:58 They need to protect it

05:02 especially if there are predators

05:04 like the big fish

05:06 Sometimes, more than one

05:12 family needs to survive

05:14 in the wild

05:16 The help from the community

05:18 is also needed

05:20 if you are a big fish

05:22 Under the sea

05:28 the big family is the only one

05:30 These sardines

05:34 are literally a big family

05:36 They can reach

05:42 more than 200 million

05:44 members

05:46 Their movements

05:48 are very fast

05:50 One for all

05:52 All for one

05:54 is their goal

05:56 If there is a danger

06:04 they form a new group

06:06 of sardines

06:08 They do this

06:12 to protect themselves

06:14 from the enemy

06:16 [Music]

06:18 The rescue center is the second

06:30 home of the sardines

06:32 that are victims of poaching and abuse

06:34 Here, they are getting stronger

06:38 and sometimes,

06:40 they form their own family

06:42 like this sardine

06:44 in the cage

06:46 But mostly,

06:48 they are in the trees

06:50 This is where they were born

06:52 in the rescue center

06:54 I met their parents

06:56 Estela and Gary

06:58 They are both victims of illegal poaching

07:00 The rescuers don't know

07:02 that Estela was pregnant

07:04 I investigated Estela

07:06 when she was a baby

07:08 She went inside the cage

07:10 to nurse

07:12 We checked the female

07:14 if she still had milk

07:16 She didn't have milk

07:18 Her uterus didn't swell

07:20 It means that she is not active

07:22 Estela and Gary

07:24 have only 3 children

07:26 Since the baby sardine

07:28 is already big

07:30 She left the family

07:32 and never came back

07:34 They know that Estela and Gary

07:38 will form their own family

07:40 in the future

07:42 The couple

07:44 will stay in the center

07:46 until they can go back to the wild

07:48 This bird is being watched

08:00 from its nest

08:08 The white-bellied woodpecker

08:10 is taking out its head

08:12 to see if its mother is there

08:14 The woodpecker is with

08:24 its father

08:26 While the father is not home

08:30 the woodpecker is cleaning

08:32 its nest

08:34 [Music]

08:36 While cleaning

08:44 it noticed

08:46 something

08:48 around their nest

08:50 Two insects are

08:56 pecking at them

09:02 The father is pecking

09:04 but when he noticed

09:06 that the insects are not pecking

09:08 he immediately

09:10 went inside their nest

09:12 The insects will be

09:18 their neighbors

09:20 and it is also preparing

09:22 to form a family

09:24 The left holes

09:28 were also made

09:30 [Music]

09:32 For birds,

09:40 the family is

09:42 the responsibility of

09:44 the mother and the father

09:46 The bird is called

09:50 "Biparental care"

09:58 where both of them

10:00 are looking for food

10:02 for their children

10:04 But not all birds

10:10 can form a family in the wild

10:12 There are some species

10:18 that are bred inside the facility

10:20 like the Rufous-headed hornbill

10:22 that is critically endangered

10:24 or endangering the wild

10:26 So here in

10:28 Enfefi, which

10:30 Talarac is managing

10:32 they are very successful

10:34 in breeding hornbills

10:36 It's very difficult to breed the hornbills

10:38 because they have a certain behavior

10:40 and requirements to breed

10:42 Because of their success,

10:44 they need nutrition

10:46 and one of the supplementary food

10:48 that they are giving for the chicks

10:50 is protein, which is insects

10:52 like crickets

10:54 [Music]

10:56 When the male hornbill

10:58 sees the food,

11:00 he immediately

11:02 eats it

11:04 and after eating,

11:08 he will

11:10 feed the crickets

11:12 In this small branch of the tree,

11:18 the Rufous-headed hornbill

11:20 is laying eggs

11:22 and here, the male

11:24 hornbill is feeding the eggs

11:26 Using his beak,

11:30 he will insert the egg in the hole

11:32 From the inside of the nest,

11:36 his mother is patiently waiting

11:38 With this success,

11:40 there's a big chance that the population

11:42 of the Rufous-headed hornbills

11:44 can come back

11:46 because they have

11:48 a unique trait

11:50 compared to the remaining wild Rufous-headed hornbills

11:52 because they can adapt

11:54 to the artificial nest boxes

11:56 In the Himpapawid,

12:00 the Braminikite is watching

12:04 even though it is already in the forest

12:06 At the bottom,

12:10 there are some crickets that are chasing

12:12 But while the crickets are busy playing,

12:18 the Rufous-headed hornbills are not

12:20 The other members of the troop

12:24 are on the lookout

12:26 The typical structure of their family

12:32 has alpha males,

12:34 females,

12:36 and juveniles

12:38 The alpha male

12:40 is the one who is being chased

12:42 to make sure that

12:44 his family is safe

12:46 Just like the juveniles

12:48 that are being watched

12:50 by the Rufous-headed hornbills

12:52 There are some older juveniles

12:54 These are the ones that can defend themselves

12:58 So it's okay even if they are left behind

13:00 If there are no fruits,

13:04 the meat of other animals is their target

13:10 Just like the Braminikite

13:14 According to Albert,

13:16 a birder in Tarnati, Cavite,

13:18 he noticed that the Rufous-headed hornbill

13:22 is not returning to its nest

13:24 It's possible that

13:32 the Rufous-headed hornbill ate the Rufous-headed hornbill

13:34 There is also evidence that

13:38 there are some cockroaches in the water

13:42 Even if the sun is bright,

13:44 the Rufous-headed hornbill

13:46 is still watching the tree

13:48 They are waiting for a bird

13:52 to nest here

13:54 Until...

13:56 Two Bramilikites arrived

14:00 They are probably looking for

14:04 a nesting site

14:06 [Music]

14:08 They noticed the Rufous-headed hornbill

14:18 But there was a Rufous-headed hornbill

14:22 that suddenly came around

14:24 A small branch was stuck

14:30 They flew away

14:34 [Music]

14:36 There are species of animals

14:44 that because of their reputation

14:46 you wouldn't think

14:48 they have a motherly instinct

14:50 Even if it's territorial

14:52 It is said that the cockroaches are good parents

14:56 In the stage of courting

15:02 the Rufous-headed hornbill

15:04 the gentle side of the cockroach

15:06 is seen here

15:08 just like us humans

15:10 who are courting our partner

15:12 Three months after the breeding

15:16 and incubation

15:18 the eggs will hatch

15:20 This video proves

15:26 the love to his children

15:28 [Music]

15:30 When hatched

15:34 he will bring it to the water

15:36 Sometimes he also helps

15:40 the baby cockroach

15:42 to hatch

15:44 A motherly instinct

15:52 [Music]

15:54 It is a great sacrifice

16:04 for the animals of the family

16:06 just like us humans

16:08 Even if they are in a difficult situation

16:12 when it comes to breeding

16:14 finding food

16:16 and protecting their family

16:18 [Music]

16:20 It's not a joke

16:32 to build a family in the wild

16:34 It requires a strong heart

16:36 and a joint effort

16:38 in the challenge of nature

16:40 But there is no other family

16:42 that will guide and protect them

16:44 but us humans

16:46 There is no one who can stop nature
