Carlos The Cuban Slider
13th Mar 2013, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
Carlos the Cuban slider (a non-native species) has been with us since April 2012, when he was found injured and wandering around the pool area of a condo.
He was probably illegally kept as a pet and then abandoned - like so many others. Luckily, the fractures to his shell were fresh, meaning a better chance of repair.
After we stabilised Carlos’s condition, we set to work on getting him back to one piece.
Thankfully, Carlos has proved to be a fighter and has healed very well. We still ne...

As you can’t be with us on our rescues, we try when we can to take videos to share with you, so you can see the animals that, thanks to your donations, we help.
Here’s a short video of a recent rescue of a mother and baby colugo, who were found lying helpless inside a drain near the forest. The trouble is, colugos aren’t able to get themselves off the ground very easily, especially from deep in a drain. Their preferred method of travel is gliding from tree to tree.
After checking the pa...
