DURIAN IS DOING WELL AND GROWING BIGGER AND BIGGER!
A few months ago, we rescued our first alligator snapping turtle, named Durian. He was unwell and inactive at first, refusing to eat at all. We decided to give him some time to settle in to see if his appetite improved on its own before intervention, as very often turtles in a new environment will not eat for some time.
We’re glad to report that Durian is now doing so much better! He is more active now, and eats lots! He is rapidly increas...

Meet Singapore's Own 'Bird Man'
15th Sep 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
MEET SINGAPORE’S OWN “BIRD MAN”
Here’s an interesting recent article about NUS bird researcher, David Tan.
If you come across any wild birds who may need rescue, do call the ACRES 24-hour Wildlife Rescue Hotline at 97837782.
But if you come across any dead birds then David is the person to contact: the carcasses provide valuable genetic information, which enables researchers to study bird evolution, conservation and diseases.

13th Sep 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
ANOTHER CHANCE TO WATCH THE ACRES WILDLIFE RESCUE TEAM IN ACTION!
It's not often that we get to film our wildlife rescues, as we have our hands full keeping the animal/s, and ourselves, safe!
But sometimes we do manage to capture the moment on video.
In case you missed it, here's a video of a recent python rescue that we shared recently.
An adult reticulated python was resting in a puddle of water. Nothing out of the ordinary there, but unfortunately this was inside a construction site at Ro...

The ACRES Animal Crime Investigation Unit (ACIU) has received 6 reports of alleged poaching activities over the past few months, which is of great concern.
Why is poaching of such concern?
1. Welfare issues. Capturing animals ...

PYTHON RESCUE VIDEO: WATCH THE ACRES WILDLIFE RESCUE TEAM IN ACTION!
An adult reticulated python was resting in a puddle of water. Nothing out of the ordinary there, but unfortunately this was inside a construction site at Rochor! Given the location with an adjacent canal, this python probably navigated at night, got lost and chose to rest there for the day. Thanks go to the site workers who called us to help relocate the python safely, and also helped to keep an eye on the snake until we arriv...
