Rescue Story of the month, May 2012: Phoo-Ball, the Pangolin

Pangolins have defense mechanism of curling into a ball when threatened, but unfortunately this time around this behaviour did not help poor Phoo Ball the pangolin! Instead, it got him all tangled up in someone's goalpost net. We suspect his claws got stuck, and by struggling he ended up getting even more stuck. Thanks to the concerned resident who alerted our wildlife rescue team, who were quickly on the scene, Phoo Ball suffered only a few minor abrasions (the same could not be said for the goalpost net, which was destroyed!).Phoo Ball and was sent to the zoo for a final health check before release back into the wild.

Tell Resorts World to “Please, let the dolphins go”

25 bottlenose dolphins that once roamed free and wild in the vast Pacific Ocean are now facing a life of captivity, boredom, stress, claustrophobia, frustration and slow death, thanks to Resorts World, which plans to keep them in its spa at Sentosa, Singapore. Two of their family have already died during the ordeal. Please help save these remaining animals.
