For our rescued bears, the summer brings along loads of fun antics - from freshly-chopped juicy fruits to more pool time.

The Nut Herd Celebrates Their 7th Rescueversary!
Ripped apart from their herds at a young age, Coconut, Peanut, Walnut, and Macadamia, knew of no love and care except the unimaginable cruelty and abuse they faced at a circus in Maharashtra.

Over the years, the four elephants have grown into the most energetic, playful, and spirited personalities. The ‘nut herd’ as they are lovingly called, is now steadily recuperating under our care.
To celebrate their 7 years of freedom, they did their favourite thing: splashing and rolling around in the Yamuna river for hours. Watch this heartwarming video of Wally, Coco, and Peanut as they relish their pool time!

Happy 10th Rescueversary, Phoolkali!
Today marks a decade of freedom for our 65-year-old elephant. Phoolkali spends this day surrounded by those who genuinely love and care for her - her companions, Maya and Emma, and her dedicated caregiver.
After splashing around in the water, she was rejoiced at the sight of a lavish spread set up by our elephant care staff along the banks of the Yamuna river. She enthusiastically devoured the feast of bananas, watermelons, and papayas, leaving nothing behind!
Phoolkali's infallible strength and lively spirit are what make her everyone’s favourite! As we watch the graceful pachyderm relish each and every moment of this spectacular day, we are grateful to all of you for your unwavering support in Phoolkali's journey.

Ten years ago, Phoolkali stepped into the Elephant Conservation and Care Centre after being rescued from the life of a begging elephant. Suffering from insurmountable pain, she displayed severe signs of malnutrition and stress.
With constant medical care and love showered upon Phoolkali by our dedicated team, she slowly recovers from the wounds of her past. Although her life has experienced a 180-degree turn since her arrival, her healing journey is still a long way to go.
To commemorate this milestone, our team went above and beyond to make it a memorable event for her. They organised an exquisite buffet not just for Phoolkali, but also her friends, Maya and Emma.

As India experiences a record-breaking heatwave, temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius blanket the entire country. This rise in Mercury has not only taken a toll on us, but also on birds!
Recently, the #WildlifeSOS Rapid Response Unit rescued a Black Kite from a residential area on Tughlaq Road, New Delhi. The raptor was found severely degraded, lying motionless on the ground.
Our team carefully rescued the bird and transported it to our Transit Facility. The veterinary officers discovered an injured left wing and provided the Black Kite with immediate medical treatment. The bird is currently under our care and will be released back to soar the boundless skies once deemed fit!
This summer, we urge you all to keep water bowls to save these feathered creatures from dehydration.

"Did someone say it's time to celebrate?"
Kamli, a 15-year-old bear at the Agra Bear Rescue Facility celebrates her 15th rescueversary with Wildlife SOS today! Merely five months old, she was rescued as a terrified cub from a Kalandar settlement in Uttar Pradesh in 2007.
The constant care provided by our veterinarians and caregivers has helped Kamli come a long way. Now she is an active and strong sloth bear who relishes scrumptious meals, plays with enrichments, and mock wrestles her companions.
Milestones like these are reflections to the relentless support offered by all of you. We can't thank you enough for enabling us to provide the life these animals truly deserve!

At Wildlife SOS, keeping our elephants healthy is our main priority! For Raju, this means eating loads of veggies and succulent green fodder. He uses his dextrous trunk to devour the delicious succulents. Each time his caregiver brings him sugarcane and berseem, Raju devours them in seconds!
Over the last eight years, we have witnessed this brave pachyderm rediscover himself. Today, as he plays with a trunkful of dust, relaxing on hot summer days, we are nothing short of amazed by his majestic look!
While Raju’s healing journey still has a long way to go, we thank you all for being there for him every step of the way!”

#FridayFacts about the Gliding Malabar Frog
🐸 Also known as Malabar Flying Frog, the tree frog is known for it's excellent gliding abilities.
🐸 Its long limbs and webbed feet allow the frog to leap a distance over 10 feet!
🐸 Endemic to the Western Ghats, the frog inhabits diverse habitat ranging from dense evergreen forests to home gardens.
🐸 Males are smaller than females and climb on their back to mate on the lush green leaves hanging over waterbodies.
🐸 Being amphibians, they are an indicator of a healthy eco system and are facing threats due to pollution, habitat loss, and climate change.
This #AmphibianWeek let's peak into the amphibian life! Link in bio to read more.

When an animal steps out to forage or hunt during the night, it remains vigilant about an attack by a predator. But wells are a threat that the animal usually misses out on.
An unexpected fall in a water-filled well can cause them immense stress and life-threatening injuries. While larger mammals such as hyenas and leopards are easily spotted, it's more difficult to sight smaller mammals.
Recently, farmers of a village in Junnar, Maharashtra, spotted a Small Indian Civet, struggling to escape from a well. As the result of regular training and capacity-building sessions, the locals knew exactly what to do: contact the authorities to help the distressed animal.
Wildlife SOS and the Forest Department immediately rushed to the location and safely extricated the animal in an hour-long process. A Wildlife SOS rescuer courageously climbed down the well to rescue the panic-stricken civet. After a meticulous medical assessment, the animal was found fit and was released back to the wild.

Holly's day out!
Ongoing treatment for chronic arthritis and abscesses on foot pads and toenails had temporarily halted Holly's daily walks to the Yamuna river. Recently, our team of veterinary officers and elephant care staff decided to resume taking the pachyderm on short-distance walks out in the open fields.
Her caregiver ensures to carry some treats (especially her favourite, bananas) as Holly takes steady steps at the Wildlife SOS Elephant Hospital. While she receives laser therapy and gentle massages, we hope these relaxing walks contribute to her long-term healing.

Every year on May 3rd, the world observes International Leopard Day, an occasion to increase awareness about leopards and to strive to conserve these majestic felines.
At Wildlife SOS, every day is a time to fight for the conservation of India’s leopards. Since 2007, Wildlife SOS has been working with the Maharashtra Forest Department to conserve the rapidly dwindling leopard population in the state. From human-leopard conflict mitigation and awareness programs to conducting rescues and leopard-cub reunions, our dedicated team does it all!
This International Leopard Day, we introduce you to Simba - a young orphaned cub rescued by Wildlife SOS. Simba’s story echoes the struggle of leopards throughout India as they fight an uphill battle against a rapidly urbanizing world.

Wildlife SOS has been actively working to reunite abandoned cubs with their families. However, due to loss of leopard habitats and increasing perils to wildlife, these majestic felines often succumb to terrible fates, leaving their cubs to brave the wild all alone.
Such was the story of young Simba, who was injured by wild dogs and stranded in a sugarcane field. Despite multiple attempts at a reunion, there was no sign of his mother. This leopard cub's chance at survival without his mother was bleak, so the difficult decision had to be made to raise him under lifelong care at the Manikhdoh Leopard Rescue Centre.
Simba was named after the protagonist of The Lion King (1994). Just like the protagonist of the film, Simba has had a second chance at life, despite facing various perils at a young age.
This International Leopard Day, you can be his "Timon and Pumba" by highlighting Simba's story to create awareness on the plight of leopards in India! Find the link in bio to support his on-going care.
