40 SECONDS AT ACRES: DAY 40 OF THE #CIRCUITBREAKER
As Singapore slowly opens up after this #circuitbreaker, here is an aptly timed feature of a rescued #MalayanBoxTurtle coming out of his/her shell too!
Malayan box turtles are one of the native species of #turtles in #Singapore. When we rescue a box turtle, we always observe them in a native turtle #rehabilitation enclosure, to ensure that they are injury free, shy and feed naturally on locally available diet. The turtle in this video would h...

40 SECONDS AT ACRES: DAY 40 OF THE #CIRCUITBREAKER
Our rescue centre is continously receiving injured animals though this period. About two days ago, we took in a Scops owl who got stuck in a glue trap. She was probably trying to hunt a rat or a gecko who was stuck on the glue trap. Her condition is bad and we have been patiently removing the glue off her. Given her condition and the amount of feathers she has lost, it is uncertain if she will make a full recovery at this point. Please help to ...

40 SECONDS AT ACRES: DAY 28 OF #CIRCUITBREAKER
Nothing to see here! Just a #KingCobra found in the urban area, who got lost possibly following a prey. Did you know that they feed mainly on other snakes?
These majestic beautiful and shy animals are a rare sight, and we were equally surprised to find one in a residential area.

Meet #Hawkeye, the Forsten's tortoise! She could have been home in the wild by now, no thanks to #Covid19, her #repatriation to Indonesia that was scheduled exactly a month ago had to be cancelled for the time being.
