00:00Today is Wednesday, Pet's Day, and we're going to meet a very cute pet to find out what it is. Let's watch this.

00:10Crocodiles are known as one of the strongest predators in the animal kingdom.

00:18They have a bite force of 3,700 pounds per square inch.

00:23This is stronger than lions and tigers.

00:26So don't get the wrong idea because you might be attracted to an ugly crocodile.

00:34But despite this, we still have a few unique tripe.

00:38Because instead of being scary, they look cute.

00:44One of them is the exotic animal keeper and breeder, Francis Gozon.

00:49He has a pet named Siamese Crocodile and Saltwater Crocodile.

00:54Let's meet his pets this Wednesday, Pet's Day.

01:01Here are my pets, Siamese Crocodile, and we have with us in the studio,

01:07Francis James Gozon and his pet, Crocodile. Good morning and welcome back, Francis.

01:12Good morning.

01:14Why did you decide to take care of them, Francis?

01:17They have a lot of pets at home.

01:20A lot of them?

01:22Yes.

01:23Did you get them all?

01:24Yes, I did.

01:25How does it feel?

01:26It's exciting.

01:27Oh my!

01:28It's so exciting.

01:29This is such an adrenaline rush.

01:31How many crocodiles do you have at home?

01:33We have six crocodiles at home.

01:35Okay.

01:36How do you take care of them?

01:38First, we need a large space at home.

01:42Okay.

01:43And we need a food source.

01:46The food should be fresh and clean.

01:49What kind of food do they eat?

01:51Chicken, chicken heart, liver.

01:54Oh, they like chicken.

01:56So, they just take care of their pets at home?

01:59No, they have their own pets at home.

02:03But I'm a bit scared, I'm just trying to be patient right now.

02:07But how old is this crocodile that you have with you?

02:11This is just months old.

02:13Okay.

02:14This one is two years old.

02:17Two years old.

02:18Yes, two years old.

02:19And you cover their mouths?

02:21Yes.

02:22Because they might bite?

02:23For other people.

02:24For other people.

02:25Okay.

02:26They might bite.

02:27But for the owner,

02:28I'm the owner.

02:33They don't bite.

02:35Oh, they're gentle to you?

02:36Yes.

02:37Really?

02:38Okay.

02:39I understand.

02:40You have a lot of exotic animals at home.

02:41Yes, ma'am.

02:42What other animals do you take care of?

02:44We also have tigers, lions,

02:47and bears.

02:48Bears and cats?

02:49Yes, bears and cats.

02:50That's normal, right?

02:51Yes.

02:52But we're scared of them.

02:53Why don't you take care of them at home?

02:57Do you take care of them at home?

02:59They get excited when we take care of them.

03:03Okay.

03:04Do you want to get hurt?

03:07No.

03:08When you see them grow up,

03:10Okay.

03:11It's exciting.

03:13It's like you have a baby.

03:14This is Amihan.

03:16Not yet.

03:17Not yet.

03:18This is Amihan.

03:19This is Siamese.

03:20Yes, ma'am.

03:21But they're known for being aggressive.

03:23Yes, ma'am.

03:24Especially saltwater crocodiles.

03:26They're the biggest species of crocodiles.

03:30This is the species of Lolong.

03:32Oh, okay.

03:33Saltwater.

03:34When they grow up,

03:35I mean,

03:36are you going to look for another shelter?

03:40No, ma'am.

03:41We already have one.

03:42Really?

03:43Yes, ma'am.

03:44We already have one.

03:45Okay.

03:46Okay.

03:47How much does it cost to take care of them?

03:51This is a Siamese crocodile.

03:53It's P30,000.

03:54P30,000?

03:55This one.

03:56Oh, this small one?

03:57Yes, P30,000.

03:58P30,000.

03:59And this one?

04:00This saltwater crocodile

04:02ranges from P25,000 up to P25,000.

04:07Okay.

04:08But it's still a baby.

04:08Just to clarify,

04:10what's the difference between a crocodile and an alligator?

04:13And are these species for land, for water, for air?

04:17I'm just kidding.

04:19All crocodiles are land and water.

04:23Even if they're always in the water,

04:26they don't eat under the water.

04:28Okay.

04:29They always eat outside the water.

04:32Oh, okay.

04:33So the difference between an alligator and a crocodile

04:37is their snout.

04:39Okay.

04:40They have a wide snout,

04:43and they also have a thin snout.

04:46Hmm.

04:47Can I hold this big one?

04:49Mars is so brave!

04:51Yes, let's see.

04:53They're kind, right?

04:54And they have a cover.

04:55Yes, yes.

04:56Oh, no.

04:57So...

04:58Oh, no!

04:59Oh, no!

05:00Oh, no!

05:01Oh, no!

05:02I have a phobia for snakes.

05:04So I feel like they have the same skin.

05:05Yes, they have the same skin.

05:06He said that crocodiles have an excitement for taking care of them.

05:09So let's see.

05:10What kind of excitement do they have?

05:12Oh, no!

05:13Oh, no!

05:14Mars, don't touch me.

05:15I can't do this.

05:17This is so funny.

05:20This is not a frog prince, Audrey.

05:22Mars, don't bring it near me.

05:23Okay.

05:24What is your message to our viewers

05:26who also want to take care of crocodiles?

05:28What I can give is

05:30to go back to the right source

05:33so that we have complete documents

05:36and legal documents

05:37on how to take care of these animals.

05:39Because if we don't have documents

05:42on how to take care of these animals,

05:44we can get caught by the DNR

05:46and we'll be in trouble.

05:47True.

05:48Does a crocodile lick a coconut?

05:50It's licked.

05:51It's licked.

05:52Okay, can you just touch one?

05:54One, two, three.

05:55Oh, no!

05:56Oh, no!

05:57They're so kind, right?

06:00Oh, no!

06:01I really can't do this.

06:02Well, thank you.

06:03Thank you so much, Francis Gozon.

06:05And of course, to your pet crocodile.

06:07Next time, bring a tiger.

06:09Can you do that?

06:11Thank you, Francis.
