MANILA, Philippines - Join Doc Ferds Recio and Doc Nielsen Donato (photo) as they continue their expedition in Thailand and the Maldives today on GMA 7’s Born to be Wild.
In Lopburi, Thailand, a temple is home to hundreds of monkeys. Local residents are tolerant of the monkeys’ mischief because the animals have been living here for several decades. But sometimes, the monkeys go wild. Some leave the temple and ransack establishments to get food. Doc Nielsen and his team document the monkeys’ behavior in their visit to the monkey temple.
In the Maldives, Doc Ferds helps treat a rescued sea turtle. There is no veterinarian on the island, and Doc Ferds does all he can to help these animals during his stay. All species of sea turtles are endangered all over the world. This is why Seamarc, an organization of marine biologists based in the Maldives, began a project for the marine turtles. One of these projects involves a coral reef propagation effort to help save the home of the sea turtles.
