NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE ROUNDUP: 16 OCTOBER 2015
1. (Top left) Goal is a reticulated python who was found tangled up in a goal post. Thanks to the concerned member of the public who called our hotline, Goal was safely freed by our rescue team. Reticulated pythons are one of the commonly sighted non-venomous snakes native to Singapore. They feed mainly on rats, and they use the drains and canals to navigate around looking for rodents. If sighted in canals, parks and nature spaces, please remember to let them be.
2. (Bottom left) Boris is a lucky Malayan box turtle who tried to cross a busy road and was thankfully spotted by 98.7 FM DJ Gerald Koh, who contained her and immediately called us for help. It was a lucky night for Boris because she could so easily have been run over considering her small size. Boris was found adjacent to a nature reserve, and was returned to the wild. Stay safe, Boris!
3. (Right) Pillar, a young Wagler’s pit viper, was found at the fringe of a nature reserve in a well-lit area. Pillar was moved back to the safety of the nature reserve. Please remember that when visiting nature reserves, you can expect to encounter some of our beautiful native wild animals, and it is important to stay at a distance while appreciating them.
Do remember to call the ACRES 24-hour Wildlife Rescue Hotline at 9783 7782 if you spot any wild animals in Singapore who may need some help. Please help wildlife by sharing this information!
If you’d like to make a difference for native wild animals by joining us as a wildlife rescue volunteer, you can register for the upcoming Wildlife Rescue Volunteers training programme on 24th October. Details can be found at:
