MEET HAWKEYE - THE LATEST RESCUED TORTOISE GIVEN A SAFE HOME AT THE AWRC
Last month, the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Team was alerted to a tortoise spotted in the Thomson area. The familiar silhouette of a tortoise greeted us when we arrived, but we weren’t sure what species he was. The markings and colouration on the face resembled those of a Hawksbill turtle, and so he was named ‘Hawkeye’.
Hawkeye was eventually identified as a Sulawesi tortoise or Forsten's tortoise. This species is endang...

NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE ROUNDUP: 25TH SEPTEMBER 2015
Lost in our urban landscape…all they needed was a little help!
1. ‘Shock’, a yellow bittern, was found stranded and helpless by concerned students at United World College of South East Asia’s East campus. Poor Shock couldn’t fly or even stand up properly. Bitterns are very sensitive to changes in the environment and do get stressed easily. Shock was given ample time to rest and, after receiving some fluids, he managed to fly off!

THE RELEASE OF MIA, VELDA AND UNIQLO
After 23 days of intensive rehabilitation of three long-tailed macaques, they’ve finally greeted home once again! Rehabilitating and integrating three macaques at the same time was a first for ACRES. We are delighted that the three macaques integrated well, which aided in their recovery process.
As Mia and Velda came from the same family at MacRitchie Reservoir Park, they integrated immediately with their family group as soon as they were released. It wa...

DOLPHIN DORSAL FINS ARE JUST LIKE FINGERPRINTS
Did you know that dolphins each have a unique-looking dorsal fin? This is because nicks and scars caused by dominance fights, injuries (such as those inflicted by propeller collisions) or deformities are unique to each individual.
For this reason, dolphin researchers aim to obtain high-resolution photos of the dorsal fin to distinguish and identify each individual.
We seek your help in looking for a kind soul who is willing to donate a DSLR ca...
