Did you know, 'Tuesday's animal trivia@ACRES!'
Hawksbill turtles are native to Singapore!
The mother turtle would come onto shore at night, spending about 2 whole hours digging a hole in the sand; that is safe enough a distance away from the tides before laying her eggs. After which she would make her way back into the oceans again?
Hawksbill turtles have been known to have one of the most beautiful translucent looking shell and hence they often fall prey to poaching. Humans use their shell ...

URGENT APPEAL FOR INFORMATION
We are following up on the leads provided following our appeal last week and also looking into obtaining CCTV footage. But we still need your help!
Someone must know the person who kept this black tufted marmoset. She was found lying on a grass patch at 47 Marine Crescent on 5 September.

A life as been lost and we hope that you will help us ensure that justice is served.

(Let us tell a partial short story -meat free, veggie Thursdays #eggfarmingtoday)
'Mothers of the eggs are crammed so closely together that these normally clean animals are forced to urinate and defecate on one another.
The stench of ammonia and fecal hangs heavy in the air, and disease breaks loose rampantly in the filthy, cramped tight cages and spaces. Many mothers die, and the 'unfortunate' survivors are often forced to live with their dead and dying cagemates, who are sometimes left to ...

Turtle update from Lao PDR.
In our Sanctuary in Lao, the turtle enclosure upgrade is now complete and we released them into their new ponds today.
