Heavy rain has been falling all over the island the past two days.Prior to this refreshing change of weather however, was Singapore's record long dry spell. The hot and dry weather had been wrecking havoc on our flora causing much of our plants and grass to be parched. The unbearable heat also forced all our animals to seek shelter, only to come out in the late afternoon as the sun begins to set.

Find gourmet meats, wines, organic vegetables, cheeses, breads, and homemade baked goods. Pop in for cooking demonstrations and a wine talk in The Pantry Cooking School. The Markets are held on the first and third Saturday of each month.

A few years ago, he was rescued from an industrial area, with stomach ulcers resulting from razor blades in his stomach. (He is well now :) We routinely periodically change enclosure furniture for our enclosures, but this time - we took inspiration from the 'shaking log' enrichment that Valerie (one of our iguanas) got a few weeks ago. Expanding the idea, part of Midori's enclosure can swing ...

It was mid-afternoon and the Bukit Batok Nature Reserve Macaques were making their way back into the forest for their afternoon nap. They took turns crossing the road but a female carrying 2 babies lost her life while trying to make her way back. Here's a first hand account from Sabrina, a member from the team, who witnessed the roadkill accident:
" Witnessing it being knocked down by a speeding car was tragic. The 2 babies got...

Animal Trivia Monday: " Learning and Understanding to Co-exist with our native wildlife - SNAKES
Yes, you did not hear us wrongly. Singapore despite being a compact urban city, is lucky to have a rich diverse wildlife.

Often misunderstood as slimy, evil and vicious creatures, snak...

The pigeon featured here is the Common Pigeon, or Rock Pigeon. It is an extremely misunderstood animal in Singapore, and are considered by most to be pests. Here at ACRES, we do receive calls regarding injured birds from time to time, and will try our best to help them.
If we take a step back and look at these animals carefully, you would be surprised at just how beautiful nature is. One should always take time out to admire colours as well as form, and how nature seems to put everything toget...
