Animal Adaptation on Matanglawin

Join Kuya Kim as he is lifted out of his comfort zone and tested for his knowledge on adaptation to be able to find food, water and shelter as well as discover how and why animals have changed over generations in another exciting episode of “Matanglawin.”



Find out why dumpy tree frogs prefer trees over ponds and why some penguins have evolved to not only waddle and swim but also to hop.



Kuya Kim also traces why flightless birds like the rockhopper penguin can’t fly and why giraffes have grown long necks as a means to get by.



Did you know that there is a fish that can stay in the water plus live on land when the water becomes dry? But if animals can adapt, why did some species become extinct?



Animals will prove how they stayed on top and survived by always changing as long as they’re alive this Sunday (Aug 14) in “Matanglawin,” 9:0 AM on ABS-CBN.

Animal Survival Skills on Matanglawin

Can the madlang people be at par with animals when it comes to survival?

Kuya Kim answers this question via an experiment this Sunday (July 3) as he probes on animals’ survival skills in “Matanglawin.”

It’s definitely survival of the fittest in animalandia and each one has its own tactics to live. The pebble toad for example will jump off cliffs to avoid being eaten by tarantulas and the only thing that can save it is its ability to bounce like a ball.

The slow loris, degu, and elephant shrew, may be small and cute but these animals have poison, bad smells, and speed on their side to defend themselves.

Humans have their own way of surviving but can man adapt to the environment using the animals’ survival skills? The madlang people help out Kuya Kim for the answers.

Watch “Matanglawin” this Sunday (July 3), 9:30 AM on ABS-CBN.

Philippine Marine Biodiversity on Matanglawin

Did you know that the Philippines is the center of marine biodiversity in the world?

Let Kuya Kim show you the wonders of our country’s waters this Sunday (June 26) in another exciting adventure on multi-awarded educational show “Matanglawin.”

Join him as he gets up close and personal with a few of the many marine species in the ocean and will feed some sharks at the famous Manila Ocean Park.

With the world being composed of more than 70 percent water and more than half of the life that lives there is under the sea, marine biodiversity is indeed very important.

If marine biodiversity disappears, it’s most likely that humans will die out too,” Kuya Kim said.

Watch “Matanglawin” this Sunday 9:30 AM (June 26) on ABS-CBN.
