Born to be Wild
Premier Philippine nature and wildlife program "Born to be Wild" now on Sundays
February 9, 2014
9:30 AM, GMA-7
“I climb mountains. I dive oceans. I take comfort in knowing that I am part of the solution.” This is the quote that greets friends on Doc Ferds Recio’s Facebook profile. And indeed that is what he, co-host Doc Nielsen Donato and the entire team of "Born to be Wild" have been doing for the past six years. Wednesday after Wednesday, the show has brought viewers the most amazing wildlife encounters while shedding light on environmental issues. "Born to be Wild" has brought many “firsts” on Philippine television, including the first footage of a newly discovered reptile species in 2010 and the first full documentation of a blue whale in Philippine waters. In its February 5 episode, "Born to be Wild" looks back on the best moments from its six years as a Wednesday late-night favorite. And because viewers asked for it, all-new episodes of "Born to be Wild" will now air at an earlier time slot beginning February 9, Sunday after AHA!
For its launch episode on Sunday, February 9, Doc Ferds Recio and Doc Nielsen Donato scour the wild for two rare creatures and end up catching spectacular scenes on camera.
In Bohol, Doc Nielsen Donato and his team are in search of the Philippine flying lemur known locally as kagwang. This mammal has the ability to transfer from one tree to another through gliding. Besides filming its magnificent skill, the team also documents a mother giving birth to a young kagwang, footage which is considered rare by mammal experts.
Iligan City in Lanao del Norte is home to the stunning Maria Cristina Falls. But little do most know that one of the most venomous snakes in the world—the temple viper—thrives in the area. Doc Ferds Recio and the team find the vipers and meet a self-confessed temple viper poacher. Although temple vipers are only now being studied, the species already faces threats from poaching. Doc Ferds takes a closer look at this venomous snake.
The country’s multi-awarded nature program "Born to be Wild" brightens up your Sundays beginning February 9 only on GMA, right after AHA!
