NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE ROUNDUP (PLUS ANIMAL VISITORS): 23 OCTOBER 2015

1. Buffy is an insectivorous bat who became stranded on the ground. Some insectivorous bat species are tiny and may be mistaken for baby bats who may need to be rescued. Buffy was found by a concerned member of the public, who kept her safe until we arrived. Thankfully, Buffy flew away once she was placed at a suitable height in a dark and quiet corner of the estate.

2. Cambridge is an adult common wolf snake who stayed still for almost an hour, giving a scare to residents! He was probably waiting for a prey animal to pass by. Please be assured that common wolf snakes (otherwise called house snakes) are harmless garden snakes who feed on small geckos and lizards. If you spot one outdoors, please let them be.

3. Often in the course of their rescue duties, ACRES wildlife rescue officers receive (with thanks) gentle rubs and warm purrs in the wee hours of the night from the community cats! This handsome cat sniffed all the way into the van (no animals inside) to check us out, and greeted us in a sweet fashion!

4. When our rescue officers were about to leave the ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre one morning to attend to a case, we were greeted with chuckles from two feathered guests at our office building! These two wild Oriental pied hornbills were happily perched on the trellis. What a fantastic sight before we started our day shift!

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.
