00:00It looks like it's not going to bite.

00:05It's trying to squeeze its body out of the water.

00:09It's trying to lay eggs here and there.

00:13But unlike other bamboo rats,

00:17this one doesn't have a tusk.

00:20Its skin is also thick.

00:23But instead of being afraid of it,

00:26the animal feels something.

00:28Notice the deep wound on its back.

00:45Outside the cage,

00:47the rat looks different.

00:50It has a pig wound.

00:52Its breed is still being studied to this day.

01:01Its skin is white,

01:03and it looks like it's smiling.

01:06Notice the wound on its neck.

01:09What's the problem with pigs?

01:12Usually, our major problem is the wound.

01:17Let's take a look.

01:23One thing I noticed is that its skin is thick.

01:28Here, there's a lichenification.

01:31They call it elephant skin.

01:33This is not normal.

01:35Usually, this happens when there's a chronic infection

01:38or parasitic infection.

01:41I immediately noticed the rope that seems to be coming down on its neck.

01:53It's time to feed the pigs

01:56at Aurora State College of Technology,

01:58School of Agriculture and Aquatic Science.

02:02When the rats put food in their mouths,

02:05the pigs come closer one by one.

02:11The pigs don't want to lose.

02:14They are eager to eat.

02:18The two-week-old pig is the newest in the group.

02:23There's a bite on its skin.

02:25It doesn't want to give up on its mother.

02:28It's so cute.

02:29It's so cute. It looks like a pig.

02:31Oh, my God. It looks like a hamster.

02:34So cute.

02:36The pigs' cage is inside the school.

02:40They say it's a way for the Philippine warty pigs to study at Aurora.

02:48The piglets have been in their care for four months.

02:53They bought it from hunters or dogs.

02:57The two mothers are in the cage of their babies.

03:02According to their studies,

03:0450% of the Philippine warty pigs' population are in their area.

03:11It's in the category of vulnerable species.

03:16Because of the risk of making food and mixing it with domesticated pigs,

03:23they are currently doing genetic conservation on eight pigs.

03:29This is the first step to make a breeding plan for the pigs.

03:37Their wildness is still there.

03:40They still attack because they are very territorial and very protective of their companions.

03:47Wild pigs maintain their biodiversity by means of balancing the mountains

03:54where there are a lot of native plants and animals.

04:01I immediately noticed the rope that seemed to be coming down on his neck.

04:06This wound is getting deeper.

04:10Our first challenge is to give him a sedative.

04:14Don't be afraid, brother.

04:18Okay, okay. Let's just hold him.

04:21Just hold him.

04:24Hold him, brother.

04:26Hold him, brother.

04:28Hold him.

04:33Because his skin is so hard, the sedative didn't work.

04:38I'll choose my sedative. Let's change the sedative.

04:42Hold him.

04:44Hold him.

04:46Hold him.

04:49Hold him.

04:52Hold him.

04:55It didn't work, right?

04:57You saw how hard his skin was earlier.

04:59While the rope is being removed, the pig is still shivering.

05:04This is where I saw his wound getting closer.

05:08Look at me. I'm really scared.

05:11Hold him.

05:13Hold him.

05:19I gave him an antibiotic to treat the infection.

05:22I gave something for the skin parasites.

05:25The antibiotic is long-acting.

05:27And we gave him a spray.

05:30We saw the wound, right? It's so deep.

05:33I think this is the best that we can do.

05:36It was temporarily removed so that the wound can heal quickly.

05:41But it can't be put in the prison of the students of the Philippine Warty Pig.

05:48Next, I examined the pigs there.

05:51For the small pigs, let's give them the pig's skin.

05:57You saw the lesions on their skin.

06:03There.

06:06Come here.

06:17Let's finish the small ones.

06:19We need to catch the big ones.

06:22That's the challenge.

06:24The patenter wants to catch the bigger pigs.

06:28It should be inside.

06:30It should be inside, right?

06:35It's attacking us.

06:37It's attacking us.

06:39Hold him.

06:44The skin is hard.

06:46This one is almost dead.

06:57It's going inside.

06:59It's going inside.

07:04Hold him.

07:06Very good.

07:09Our mission was a success.

07:12We gave them vitamins and purgatives one by one

07:16that can help strengthen their resistance.

07:20It's their first time to get a purgative.

07:22Yes, Doc.

07:23At least we did it.

07:25Their skin lesions will improve.

07:27They'll get fatter and gain more weight.

07:29We don't know.

07:30Maybe they have parasites.

07:39We brought the pig again.

07:42Let's visit the pig we brought yesterday

07:46to remove the bandage on its neck.

07:49Let's see how it is.

07:51There it is.

07:52It's happier now, right?

07:55He looks a lot better.

07:59There's no more bandage on its neck.

08:01It won't smell anymore.

08:03It will get wounds on its back.

08:08The four pigs that were saved from the dogs

08:14are now eight.
