Here's something to kickstart your weekend - a sneak peek into the secret life of a very shy animal!
We stumbled upon 3 Banded leaf monkeys while we were following a troop of Long-tailed macaques. Although they are globally listed as vulnerable, they are one of the rarest mammals in Singapore where they were first described in 1838. Once roaming various forests on the island, this elusive animal is now critically endangered and only found in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve.

Last week, the ACRES Macaque Team successfully herded a troop of macaques out of a condominium within 15 minutes!
Residents and security guards witnessed the process for the first time. The team quickly reacted with accordance to the macaques facial expressions and body language, while still keeping a respectable distance between the macaques. The macaques have been entering the condo premises due to availability of food.
Its been a week since the herding and residents have given positive fee...

How many of you still remember Mia, the young female macaque that we rescued, rehabilitated and successfully released back into the wild last year?
1 year later, we paid her a visit. Have a look at the pictures to see how beautiful she has grown! She is also using all 4 limbs now! This is the very same macaque who fractured her pelvis and had to go through 6 weeks of intensive rehabilitation.
Does she recognize us when we visited her?
Here's what Sabrina from the Macaque Team has to say:

Here is a short clip for your weekend: A little help given to a Colugo who was stranded in a two storey car park's concrete floor near our nature reserve.
Thanks to the very helpful member of public (who called us) and the National Parks Board for their assistance, the colugo was safely returned back to the trees, where he/she will be able to climb the way back to a safe height.
Have a pleasant weekend everyone!

Thank you for your concerns with regard to the bat we rescued from Diana Lu last week. Diana wrote a FB post with regard to this rescue and, unfortunately, it contains information which is factually incorrect and also misleading. We hope to set the record straight. Please do help us share this post.
1. The bat had severe injuries which were sustained under the care of Diana and not ACRES. Diana had kept this bat for two months and it is illegal under the Wild Animals and Birds Act to keep bats....
