UPDATE ON MILK, INDIAN STAR TORTOISE Back in June, we shared a post about Milk, an Indian star tortoise in our care who had an abscess on the side of her mouth.

Hanging out in mangrove swamps, macaques search and dive for crabs and other crustaceans. They also swim to en...

Recently, a member of the public was annoyed with birds who flew into his flat to eat his food. In order to ‘teach the birds a lesson’, he caught one bird and - with a thin string - tied its legs to a pole which he hung outside the window. The highly distressed bird was filmed frantically struggl...

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY IS PERSEVERANCE.

And it wasn’t all work and no play! We had great fun with her, and we hope that she had...
