NATIVE WILDLIFE RESCUE ROUND UP: 17 JUNE 2016

One morning, the Singapore Police Force alerted our rescue team to an immobile reticulated python stuck in a drain at Pasir Ris. Upon arrival, we were touched by the concern shown for the python by the residents.

As we were unable to rescue Mr. Ris easily, we needed to call the Town Council for assistance. A Town Council employee was soon deployed to drill and hack the concrete, so that we could safely remove Mr. Ris from the drain.

As the hacking progressed, we realised that Mr. Ris was stuck inside a PVC pipe within the drain. Thankfully, with only minor scratches, Mr. Ris was safely rescued and relocated, thanks to the combined efforts of the residents and the Pasir Ris Town Council.

Please remember to call our 24-hour ACRES Wildlife Rescue Hotline at 9783 7782 for assistance if you see any wild animal in Singapore in distress.

Have a pleasant weekend everyone!
