00:06 Good evening, Kapuso!
00:08 I am your Kuya Kim, who will give you a trivia behind the trending news.
00:12 We are going to Palawan, where recently,
00:15 two very rare animals were recorded living in the Bacawan.
00:20 What animal is this?
00:22 The first restaurant, Jim Boy, from Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, is very happy
00:28 to be recorded and filmed.
00:30 The two very rare, but familiar animals that can be seen in Bacawan in their province.
00:35 Grey, the size of a cat, but it has more of a beard.
00:39 The Asian Smoked Clod Otter, or as they call them in Palawan, "Dungon".
00:43 I am happy to see them here in the whole mangrove area of Puerto Bay.
00:47 There are reports that they are seen.
00:49 They just happened to be able to get a little bit of light to take pictures of the nearby.
00:55 Kuya Kim, what kind of animal are otters?
00:58 Kuya Kim, what is this?
01:00 Otters are not only cattle, but also not cats.
01:04 Otters are part of the Mustelidae family.
01:06 This family includes badger and wolverine.
01:08 There are 13 species that can be seen in the whole world,
01:11 except Australia and Antarctica.
01:13 Otters have the thickest scales in all mammals.
01:15 They use thick fur for insulation and they also use it as a coating on water.
01:19 Although they are not fish or amphibians,
01:22 sea otters can swim under water for up to 5 minutes.
01:25 River otters can swim for up to 8 minutes.
01:27 Jim Boy and his team have captured the images of the indigenous species of Palawan.
01:31 There are more groups of otters that are chosen to be cryptic.
01:35 Once they have sensed a person,
01:37 they will choose to leave the place first,
01:40 rather than encountering an encounter.
01:42 The Asian Smoked Clod Otter is listed under the vulnerable category
01:45 under the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
01:48 This is why the Palawan Council is reminding us to be sustainable.
01:51 During instances where we encounter wild otters,
01:54 maintain your distance because they are also wild animals.
01:58 We should not do actions that can perceive an animal that is a threat to them.
02:02 If there are Smoked Clod Otters in Palawan,
02:04 where can you find the biggest otter in the world?
02:07 Giant River Otters, also known as River Wolves,
02:15 are endemic to South America.
02:18 They are considered the biggest otter in the world
02:21 that can reach up to 6 feet long.
