Singaporeans love animals. Crocodiles, a family of otters, kittens and dogs, you name it, it’s probably been reported. Today, headlines have shown that 600 animals have hatched in Singapore’s wildlife reserves in 2016.

Amongst these 600 animals, some of them are one of the rarest species in Southeast Asia. Which makes them even cuter than they already are.

Guess baby tortoises love ‘em Korean strawberries as much as we do.

These animals have been chosen to be the face of the national conservation project against various causes. According to Channel NewsAsia, WRS deputy CEO and Chief Life Sciences Officer pointed out the importance of ensuring that these animals are given their rights and proper conditions to live in. “Individually, they represent their wild counterpart, but collectively they embody the need to conserve…. the environment as a whole.”.

This is the cheetah cub Deka, which is a first cheetah birth in 14 years. She was abandoned by her first-time inexperienced mother and it were “vets and keepers who hand-raised the cub.”, raising the importance of their organisation and respecting the ecosystem sustainability.

Ugly but kind-of cute, right?


Did someone call my name?

Many of these animals are trafficked or kept illegally. The Fennec fox were kept as pets but is now raised in the Safari under better conditions with professional care. They will make their debut in the park’s Creatures of the Night show as ambassadors against keeping exotic pets.


“Majestic but kinda small and adorable”

The sunda pangolin is one of the most trafficked species in mammals in the world as well.

Here is a the live action of these animals from WRS’ Facebook.
