It's Sunday and it's playtime!
Dolphins can produce all sorts of bubbles by releasing air from their blowholes under water. They create large bubble clouds, bubble streams, and even individual bubbles. Serving as visual displays, a kind of communication signal.

What will their future world be like? Let us plant a garden of blossoms for our children. :)
This past week, our education team has been reaching out to the younger ones, about how animals are sentient beings just like you and me. Something we all grew up with, yet grow out of and forget when adulthood greets us.
Join us for the ACRES humane educational programme! ♡

Please join us and do share with everyone. On the 30th of October let us take off the clowning masks placed mistakenly onto the silent world of dolphin 'smiles'. http://blackfishmeetandgreet.peatix.com/

A new pond, shed, and so much more! Pretty much what our animals in our sanctuary would chatter in excitement about if they could speak!
AWRC underwent major upgrades and clean up works last Sunday! This massive project to revitalise our rescue centre at 91 Jalan Lekar would never had been made possible without these VOLUNTEERS who took time out for an entire Sunday just to get down and dirty to support and help the animals, and us; a selfless act that we are very grateful for.
