TOGETHER, Let’s End Tiger Trade.
The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest of the Asian cats. Tigers can weigh up to 660 pounds and can reach 10 feet in length. Unlike many cats, tigers are excellent swimmers and love the water. Each tiger has unique set of stripes, and this helps with individual identification in the wild.

ERNIE GOES OUTDOORS INTO THE SANCTUARY!
Back in February, we shared a post about Ernie, a rescued female giant Asian pond turtle. Ernie is a timid turtle and was not welcomed by Audrey into the enclosure for female giant Asian pond turtles. During the attempted introduction, Ernie was on the receiving end of a bad bite from Audrey and needed to go back into quarantine to receive treatment.

We have travelled island-wide with the van: responding to macaque emergency calls, conducting field studies and, most recently, experimenting with the new Monkey G...
