THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORDINARY AND EXTRAORDINARY IS PERSEVERANCE.
This Sunday, we want to dedicate our volunteer post to all the unsung heroes who have been working with us tirelessly for the animals. These are the ones who have never been mentioned by name, nor their faces shown on this page. These are the ones who have soaked in sweat under the hottest sun, been drenched by the heaviest rains, taken all the mosquito bites silently, and carried out their tasks in the muddiest places. These ar...

THANK YOU OPHELIA!
For the past 3 months, the fundraising team had some extra help; and very good help at that!
Meet Ophelia, a student who decided to spend her holidays not relaxing, but interning with ACRES! She has been a GREAT help for the team, helping with social media, donor relations, and our fundraising events!
The ACRES family is small, so help from kind souls like Ophelia is much appreciated. And it wasn’t all work and no play! We had great fun with her, and we hope that she had...

SATURDAY CRIME NIGHT – CRIMES AGAINST ELEPHANTS

Here are details of recent ivory seizures in Singapore:
1. In May 2015, the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA), Singapore Customs, an...

NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE ROUNDUP: 14 AUGUST 2015
1. (Top left) Groucho is a handsome nightjar who got lost at the stairwell of an HDB block. He decided to just sit and rest in the corridor, and help arrived in the form of a concerned passerby who alerted us. With a little lift, Groucho flew away well.
2. (Middle left) Boo and Buffy are two insectivorous bats who flew into someone’s 11th storey HDB flat. Thanks to the residents for calling our hotline, both were safely released outside. When b...

Are Whales And Dolphins Cultural Beings?
12th Aug 2015, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
ARE DOLPHINS CULTURAL BEINGS?
The idea that our oceans teem with cultural animals — and have for millions of years — is the central conclusion of a new book by two scientists. And it's a convincing one.
Whales and dolphins, as they forage for food and interact with each other in their social units, may learn specific ways of doing things from their mothers or their pod mates.
This undoubtedly means that the capture and removal of wild dolphins from their pods to supply the captive dolphi...

MEET BIG AND BEAUTIFUL VENILLA!
About two weeks ago, we shared a post about Bloodshort, a rescued blood python who is the second heaviest snake at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre (AWRC).
Today, we’d like to introduce the largest snake in our care: Venilla, an albino Burmese python. Many of you might know her story and some of you may have seen her. Venilla is the largest animal at the AWRC. Believe it or not, someone probably kept her as a pet here in Singapore at some point in time, befor...
