OUR WILD NEIGHBOURS: PLANTAIN SQUIRREL
Have you ever spotted them, leaping from tree to tree?
Meet the plantain squirrel (Callosciurus notatus), also commonly known as the oriental or the tricoloured squirrel! These squirrels can be spotted on our sunny island quite frequently, unlike the cream-coloured giant squirrel, which is very rare or perhaps even extinct in Singapore, with no recent sightings of them in the wild.
The plantain squirrel is about 20 – 30cm in body length, with an equiv...

AWRC UPDATES: MEET SCAR, OUR NEWEST PATIENT
Recently, the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Team responded to a Hotline call about an injured turtle who appeared to be stranded at Changi Beach. Upon arrival, we realised that the turtle was actually a freshwater soft-shelled turtle, most probably an abandoned illegal pet who had been irresponsibly released into the sea- a totally unsuitable habitat for this freshwater animal. Scar was found with ulcers and sores all over his body, which were probably caused...

INJURED MONKEY AT SPRINGLEAF WALK
Many of you have contacted ACRES about rescuing this monkey. We have been looking for the monkey since we received the first call on Sunday. We were on site within an hour of receiving the call and were unfortunately unable to find the monkey. Immediately before this call, we were responding to a poaching case in Paya Lebar after working on a snake rescue case in Little India.
We were at the site again yesterday. Thank you to the volunteers who joined us in t...

KEEP THEM WILD AND FREE: HELP US WIPE OUT WILDLIFE CRIME
Remember this severely emaciated black-tufted marmoset who was abandoned in Marine Crescent last year?
Black-tufted marmosets are tree-dwellers, residing primarily in the Brazilian rainforests. They live in close-knit family units, with parents and older siblings raising young ones together.
This abandoned marmoset was likely sold into the exotic pet trade at a young age. They took away her family support, so essential to this species...

NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE ROUNDUP: 6TH MARCH 2015
This week: three of our latest rescues, and a new face at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre!
1. Outside working hours, our staff members may still encounter animals who need a little help. Spiderman, a white-vented mynah (top left), is one of them: he was tangled up in twine and got stuck among some branches, unable to move or fly. It took us a while to carefully remove all the twine, and then Spiderman was all set to fly away!
2. Bean (top ri...

OUR WILD NEIGHBOURS: WILD BOAR
We’re very lucky in Singapore to share our island home with a huge variety of wild animals, although many of these animals are rarely encountered and remain somewhat of a mystery to many people.
We’ll be sharing information about our fascinating wild neighbours every Wednesday, so that we can start to understand them better, starting with wild boars!
Wild boars are medium-sized animals. They live in groups (called sounds), and they are usually nocturnal, bein...
