MEET OUR NATIVE WILDLIFE: RETICULATED PYTHON
Singapore is the home to one of the largest snakes in the world: the reticulated python (more frequently referred to as “retics” by our wildlife rescue officers).
These beautiful snakes can grow up 10 metres long! The largest individual rescued by ACRES was around 5 metres in length.
Reticulated pythons have zig-zagging black lines on their bodies, interspersed with yellow-brown and dark brown or medium grey patches which can be found along t...

Start today with these tasty recipes: http://www.onegreenplanet.org/channel/vegan-recipe /

RESCUED TORTOISES NEED YOUR HELP!
At the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre, we have about 7 different species of tortoises from across the globe – all victims of the illegal exotic pet trade. This gives an idea just how widespread the illegal wildlife trade is - which is pushing many species of tortoises to the brink of extinction.
Their diet varies, with the Indian star tortoises preferring a grassy diet whilst other species, such as the red-footed tortoises, preferring fruits and other types o...

CHIPPY AND YOKO - JOURNEY BACK TO THE WILD
Meet Chippy and Yoko, both wild long-tailed macaques recently rescued. Both had to be unfortunately removed from the wild due to public feeding which has altered their wild behaviours and resulted in complaints from the public.
ACRES has been working hard over the past month to rehabilitate them and they have both been responding well :-) No more human food for them and they are loving and eating lots of food they can find in the wild. They have bec...

NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE ROUND UP – 23 SEP 2016
We were alerted to the cases of snake sightings (shown in the photos), and to our shock both were dead on arrival. Similarly the cobra (on the right) from another case at a different location was also dead on arrival. Even though we did not rule out the possibility of grass cutting machinery injuring the snakes, we often come across such situations where the snakes are dead either through trauma or other methods like hot water. Unfortunately, the ...

SPEEDY, AGILE TORTOISES!
Many of us share the opinion that tortoises are slow, rather clumsy animals. But that’s not necessarily so!
Recently, we engaged our wildlife sanctuary volunteers to conduct some dietary enrichment for the rescued tortoises in our care at the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre (AWRC). The volunteers placed chopped pumpkin at elevated areas within the enclosures in order to encourage the tortoises to engage in physical exercise, as well as stimulate the tortoises’ brain c...
