In a coco lumber warehouse in Catanduanes, a Philippine cobra was found to have laid 16 eggs.  Out of fear, the warehouse owners wanted to get rid of the venomous snake.  But having recently watched an episode of Born to be Wild, they instead enlisted the help of a local biologist who in turn called upon Doc Ferds to visit the site.  This type of cobra can only be found in the Philippines and is an endangered species.  Will they be able to save the mother cobra and its eggs?

In Cabuyao, Laguna, another rescue is underway.  Residents seek the help of Doc Nielsen and the DENR as a former pet macaque has been roaming the area and has caused trouble to the locals.  One child was reported to have been bitten by the macaque while playing.  But for another child, the macaque is harmless and he treats the monkey as his friend.  When the child calls the macaque, the animal comes to him without hesitation, ensuring the safe rescue of the animal.
