Born to Be Wild

Kiko Rustia, on its March 18 episode, visits a community that lives on catching and selling fishes including seahorse. Kiko talks about the life of seahorses.

As they are poor swimmers, they are most likely to be found resting in beds of sea grass or coral reefs, with their tails wound around a stationary object.
Seahorses are monogamous..The male seahorse is equipped with a brood pouch.When mating, the female seahorse deposits the eggs in the male's pouch, which the male then internally fertilizes. The male carries the eggs until they emerge, expelling fully-developed, miniature seahorses in the water.
Seahorse populations are said to be endangered by overfishing and habitat destruction. They are being sold to be used in traditional Chinese herbology.
To educate the people about the seahorse and the possible effects of overfishing, Kiko invited some reliable people to discuss things about the seahorse and how to prevent it from being extinct.

Meanwhile, Dr. Ferds Recio talk about the wild animals that are trying to live with us in the city.
