Are you nuts for peanuts? 🥜

On #WorldPeanutDay, she’s cracking into some serious snack goals.
And guess what!
Her caregiver even carried some extra peanuts for her friends. 🐘 Who’s winning the crunch contest?

Marvellous Millie completes 3 years with Wildlife SOS!
Rescued three years ago, Wildlife SOS rescued Millie after she was found injured in a forest due to a deadly snare. Soon after her rescue, she was brought to the Bannerghatta Bear Rescue Centre (BBRC) where she loves engaging with her enrichments which is a positive indicator of her recovery over time.
Millie loves to scale the trees in her enclosure, and this physical activity aids in bone mobility. One of her favourite enrichments is the hammock, where we find her comfortably tucked in during the day, enjoying warm afternoon naps as the sun peeks through the trees.
Watch the video to know more about Millie and her antics!

With only around 3,000 Indian wolves left in the wild, this ancient species—known locally as Bhediya, Nekra, or Hundar is part of the world’s oldest wolf lineage.
Vital to our ecosystem they face challenges like habitat loss and fragmentation. Learn more about this species protected under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act (1972).

Despite protected under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act (1972), the Indian wolf is facing significant challenges in India, including habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and habitat fragmentation. These pressures have led to a decline in their numbers.
Our team is on the field, working closely with the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department towards finding solutions to mitigate conflict in Bahraich.
Our goal is to prevent future tragedies while addressing the underlying causes of human-wildlife conflict. Let’s understand more about the Indian wolf and work together to build a future where both humans and wildlife coexist in peace.

#DidYouKnow the name ‘vulture’ comes from the Latin word vultur meaning ‘to pluck or tear’? This is a defining feature of how this raptor feeds — by tearing up the decaying flesh of animals.
Vultures play a crucial role in the environment by scavenging and consuming animal carcasses which may cause tuberculosis, foot-and-mouth disease, and anthrax. This helps keep ecosystems in check and controls any spread of diseases.
Wildlife SOS is frequently involved in rescuing vulture species from distressing situations.
This vulture awareness day, support our efforts in rescuing and providing medical aid to vultures and animals in need by clicking on the link in bio!

Icarus wasn’t the only one to get too close to the sun!
Black kites, despite their impressive aerial abilities, are facing the heat of summer. While black kites can impressively soar up to high altitudes, such extreme heights also render them vulnerable to the sun during tropical summers. They frequently collapse from heat strokes while making a descent in search of prey and water sources.
Recently, our team rescued a dehydrated black kite from a Delhi metro station.
Watch how our Rapid Response Unit is always ready to soar to the rescue!

Mowgli is completely puzzled!
Seven-year-old Mowgli is one of the youngest bears under our care and exhibits a playful and curious nature. He spends his days engaging with various enrichments in his enclosure - like tyre feeders, enrichment balls, and jute sacks.
Recently, a new enrichment was installed inside Mowgli’s enclosure. This enrichment, called the multi-layer wooden puzzle feeder, has five layers stacked on wooden sticks that roll out like plates, revealing honey-drizzled treats such as fruits and dates when manoeuvred!

Did you know that porcupines are nocturnal?
This means that Porcupines are active during the night, foraging for food, and sleep throughout the day. Mainly solitary, Porcupines prefer to look for food alone, and only a few ‘New World’ porcupines may pair up occasionally.

Meet Wally, our playful pachyderm!
At nearly 27 years old, Wally spends his afternoons beating the heat in his new pool installed in his enclosure as a part of the team’s summer management programme.
Wally thoroughly enjoys his evening walks, often ends up throwing a bunch of leaves and branches that land on the top of his head! He then resumes his walk, proudly wearing a hat of greens!
