A little good news on Rhino, the Green Iguana:
In March, we were alerted to a sick Green iguana by the roadside. When we reached the rescue location, we were shocked to find a female Green iguana in very bad condition, emaciated and possibly gravid. Confirming that thought, on our way back from rescue itself, she started laying all her eggs in the transport carrier.

These data have assisted us in identifying the areas of high human-macaque interaction, thus allowing us to address the root of each problem and providing accurate advices and effec...

From everyone here at ACRES, including the animals, w...

Did you know in social animals, like the macaques, social grooming is an activity in which individuals in a group clean or maintain one another's body or appearance.
