Markos, The Cuban Slider
29th Jan 2013, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
Meet Markos, who was lucky to be spotted after getting bitten by some other animal or getting caught in something sharp. We would never know his history, but thanks to the callers for rescuing him and calling us. Markos is a Cuban slider native to Cuba and introduced in some islands. Most likely released as an illegal pet here in Singapore, he already suffers from malnutrition, resulting in shell deformities. The injuries on his tail led to prolapse of organs which has been rectified after sutur...

"As a whole, macaques stand little chance against humans. But if the situation demands it, they do stand up. One has to respect them for that - and learn how not to trigger macaque revolts."
Being the most common monkey species in Singapore, you might just encounter long tailed macaques when you least expect it.
Read this article to better understand them and avoid any unnecessary conflict - http://goo.gl/guzFf

We just heard that a boy got bitten after going too close to a monkey. He was reported to be only 5 metres away, taking photos of the monkey.
If you see monkeys, please don't make eye contact with them, or bare your teeth by smiling. These are threatening behaviours to a monkey.
While our green spaces are decreasing, the monkeys can still find food, please don't feed them. If you have fruit trees around, please harvest them soon, or request for National Parks Board to trim fruit trees by the ...

PIG VISION - The Journey Of Two Brothers
24th Jan 2013, by Animal Concerns Research & Education Society (ACRES)
Which pig would you rather be? X15, or Jackpot?
Jackpot is a lucky pig: His home is a sanctuary, where he can live a long and happy piggy life!
Sadly, most pigs are not as lucky as Jackpot. Most spend their whole lives on factory farms being raised for meat, or being made to reproduce over and over again.
This eye-opening video exposes the difference between the way pigs are meant to and deserve to live, and the way most pigs are kept (and eventually slaughtered).
The only difference betwe...

Spotlight on: Green Iguana
Found native in the lush rainforests of South America, the green iguana can live up to 20 years in the wild.

- They often break their tail to escape after getting caught. The tail will grow back eventually.
- The mothers lay the eggs underground and depart. Babies hatch, dig themselves out, and are on their own to survive.
- They can stay under water ...
