BOXING DAY IS EVERYDAY

Today, we feature an elusive animal that, while uncommon, are very much around in our waters! You might notice advisories put up at certain beaches across Singapore on these animals, and that is because some have encountered (or unluckily been stung by) them!

But don’t fret; as per most animals, The Box Jellyfish are not out to target humans when we enjoy our vitamin sea. Instead, these animals have amazing features that allow them to survive for millions of years. How many years you ask? Swipe right to find out!

ITS EARTH WEEK, BUT HERE'S A SOMBRE POST...

If you've been following the news, you would have heard of the different cases of people smuggling animals into Singapore, the most recent one being 337 birds smuggled in, out of which sadly 138 have perished.

This week, we dedicate our voice to the voiceless, talking about the silent but very real problem of the illegal wildlife trade. It's time we stay woke and do better for the animals; report any illicit chat groups or even persons that you know are fuelling this trade.

Let's hope all beings can enjoy Earth week together.

THE MAMMAL, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND…

Yes! You’re not seeing things! We do in fact have dolphins in our waters! Meet the Indo-pacific humpbacked dolphin! These intelligent mammals really do have a hump on their back (hence the name), and live in pods of around 10 members. Little information is known of them though; and if you ask us, maybe it’s for their own good, as they definitely do not belong in captivity.

Swim right to learn more about our mammalian kin, and more importantly on what we can do to conserve them.

YOU CAN’T SEE ME!
(but if you do, then you can’t hear me!)

Enter the Spotted Wood Owl! If you go to our parks often, chances are you might be lucky enough to chance upon one of the bigger species of owl in Singapore….or maybe not! Even though they are big raptors, their camouflage is so good that it’s not easy to see them; and let’s not even talk about hearing them! Swipe right to learn more about them, while we tell the famous owl knock knock joke...

WHO AM I?

My name tells you that I am a traveller; a special one at that. We are a strong symbol of strength, so much so that we are immortalised on the flag of The United Arab Emirates.

Though not residents here, we love Singapore just as much as you do, because she provides us with the perfect environment during the winter months. Who am I?

HAPPY WORLD WILDLIFE DAY! BUT WE CAN'T CELEBRATE YET...

World Wildlife Day was created to celebrate our wild fauna and flora, but zoom in to the advisory above that condones the use of one of the most cruel, inhumane and useless methods of animal control - The Glue Trap.

This year, on this special day, we want to shed some sombre light into this draconian practice that sadly is STILL being used today. Swipe right to see our POV, and most importantly, learn ways to ACTUALLY prevent the wildlife issues you face in your premises.

Singapore is extremely connected, and it's time we learn the right ways to coexist. In this day and age of information, YOU play a huge role in shaping how we interact with our wildlife, so please do share this information with anyone and everyone you know; you will be surprised how much suffering you prevent when you do.

WHAT HAVE WE BEEN *UP* TO?

As you know, JK Wildlife provides wildlife exclusion works, which basically means we help you find a humane way to keep wildlife out of your premises and coexist with them well.

A lot of the work we do however is far from glamourous. Many-a-times it gets dangerous, smelly, grimy and gross.

But we are willing to go the mile because we care for the livelihood of all beings.

Coexistence is possible, so let’s all persist to coexist.

WISHING YOU A BOLD AND BRIGHT 2024!

Historically, the word ‘dragon’ means large serpent, and the closest resemblance they have are to crocodiles. However, they breathe fire and hence cannot be cold-blooded. They are also said to have higher sentience and intellect, far better than what mammals have; but they are able to fly, similar to winged birds.

All in all, Dragons have all the great characteristics of each animal species, but of course, mythical creatures do not follow the constructs of science.

It is a timely reminder however to note that all animals are great in their own way, and it’s our job to ensure each and every one of them have a place on this earth.

Have an awesome 2024, filled with love, happiness and light, for you and the animals. From all of us at JK Wildlife.

NATURE’S MUSICAL MARVEL!

If you often visit our nature-ways for a track or jog, chances are you probably have heard of the Straw-headed Bulbul’s songs!

Sadly, some of you may find the call familiar if you live near places where they keep caged birds; their beautiful songs have made them the prime target for this inhumane practice. The good news? Singapore just started an action plan to conserve these beautiful birdies!

WHO AM I?

I have grey feet (unlike my cousins whom you are very familiar with!) and we can actually fly! My nests are in trees prior to contrary belief, and if you see how my wife cares for my kids, you will be in awe!

Try your hand at guessing who I am in our new Who Am I series!

p.s. Where in SG have you seen my kind? Asking for a friend...

BIRDS EYE VIEW FOR THE NEW YEAR

What better way to usher in the new year than to do it with one of the apex predators in our skies - The White-Bellied Sea Eagle!

Many of our human inventions were based off these birds; not to mention that they are even worshipped in some parts of the world too! May you have the vision to swipe right to learn more!

What a year it has been for JKWildlife!

This post is a simple post summarising all our efforts this year; but it does not show the real work behind those numbers, and the people who made those numbers happen. Thank you for being part of our 2023.

2024 is going to be epic. Cheers to another awesome year ahead!

'TIS THE SEASON (TO INTRODUCE THE LESSER MOUSE-DEER!)

Nope, they don't have red noses and they don't power sleighs. Instead they pride themselves for being the smallest hoofed mammals known to man! But do not be deceived though, those small legs can run pretty fast!

THE WOLF OF WALLS AND STREETS

Behold the Common Wolf Snake! If there are geckos, small frogs and lizards nearby, chances are there is a wolf snake lurking around! These tiny guys get their name from the wolf-like teeth they have, and can be your best friend if you have too many geckos in your residence! Swipe right for more howling info!

The people behind the sweat, tears and blood.

JKW has been around for 2 years now! Spent a humble dinner session with those who were part of us (and their younglings too!). What a ride it has been.

We could never have done it without the support of our family, partners, clients, and most importantly, you, our supporters and animal-friendly beings. Every one of these groups mentioned believe strongly in coexistence and the importance of every being on earth, and for this, we thank you. Ah yes, a special shout-out to our animal friends too, for trusting our hands as we conduct our trade.

To many more years of speaking up for the voiceless, and sharing the message that coexistence is possible!

SALTY ABOUT THE SALTIE

Why we do education even though we are a Wildlife Rescue Service is really because animals tend to be misunderstood most of the time. Recently, a Saltwater Crocodile sighting has polarised residents in Singapore, particularly because of the response from NParks. We decided to share more information on this majestic animal and offer an alternative perspective that relates to coexistence. Swipe right!

SIR RAFFLES (Banded Langur)

*Puts on David Attenborough's voice*

Hear ye, hear ye! If you have chanced upon one of our elusive and rare cousins pictured here, then fortune has smiled upon thee! Said to be discovered by Sir Stamford Raffles himself, The Raffles Banded Langur has been but one of Singapore's mysteries. One of only three native species of primates in Singapore (the other two being the Long-tailed Macaques and err, us humans), these langurs have been around for more than 200 years in Singapore, but only less then 200 of them remain now because of us.

Leaf through the slides to marvel at their wonder; And remember, let's all persist to coexist!

NATURE'S MAGICAL MOOD RINGS: THE CHANGEABLE LIZARD!

You most probably had an awesome childhood if you have tried to chased one of these fellows when exploring Singapore's nature (but ya probably couldn't outrun them!).

Yes, the changeable lizard have made their presence known especially when they come out to bask (sometimes boldly on our pathways!), but do you know that they actually help us control the insect population too? Scurry left for more wow facts on them!

WHO IS THE MALAYAN TAPIR?!

These guys are legends, literally! they have been around for a far longer time than we have; hence why it goes to show that it really doesn't matter if you're black or white in evolution! Thanks to the cyclist who captured this video, for ensuring a safe distance and respecting the Tapir!

Let's take a closer look at our Malaysian neighbours; cycle right through these interesting facts!

THE BIG READ: COMMON MYNAHS!

Living in Singapore, you probably came across mynahs. But have you ever noticed that there are two types of mynahs around? Hint: look at the area around their eyes! Introducing the native Common Mynah, who are actually, not so common around our island thanks to their cousins the Javan Mynah!

More facts to the right!

Bushy-Tailed Buddies!

The internet has been buzzing with videos and talk about these guys – the Finlayson’s Squirrel! These guys got their ‘Ang Mo’ name from renowned Scottish naturalist and traveller George Finlayson. They are actually also called the Variable Squirrel, and no, they are not inspiration for Chip'N'Dale (Those are Chipmunks)!

Featuring the Oriental Pied Hornbill! Native to Singapore, more of them are around now thanks to efforts from NParks Hornbill Project, and not because of their horns (hehe)! Interestingly, no one really knows what their horns are for, but here are some cool facts on these majestic locals!

WHICH IS WORSE, THE KILLER OR THE ONLOOKER? It is with deep sadness and disgust that we share the news of the recent abuse and killing of a reticulated python. This heinous and cruel act demonstrates a complete disregard for the value of life and the importance of treating all living beings with kindness and compassion. As a society, we must come together to demand justice for this innocent animal and ensure that those responsible are held accountable for their actions. We cannot allow such acts of cruelty and violence to go unpunished. Reticulated pythons, like all animals, deserve to be treated with respect and empathy. They play a vital role in our ecosystem and are not deserving of the harmful stereotypes and misinformation that often lead to their mistreatment. We call upon NParks and Singapore Police Force to conduct a thorough investigation into this case and bring those responsible to justice. Furthermore, we must work towards greater education and awareness about the importance of animal welfare, including the value of all living beings, regardless of their species. Let us honour the memory of this reticulated python and all animals who have suffered from abuse by taking action and standing up against animal cruelty. By working together, we can create a more just and humane society where all animals are treated with the respect and compassion they deserve. If you have any information about the act here or anyone part of it, please do contact ACRES: Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Singapore) asap at 97837782 or email [email protected]!
