ACRES Removes Python That Was Lounging On Footpath At Ulu Pandan

Singapore may be a highly developed and modern city, but wildlife sightings are still relatively common here.

Just a few months ago, officers from the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES) had to remove a massive python from the window of a Bedok Reservoir HDB flat.

Recently, another snake rescue operation took place on the other side of the island.

After a python was seen chilling along a footpath at Ulu Pandan, ACRES went down to move the reptile to a safer location.

On Thursday (22 Sep), a Facebook user shared a video of ACRES officers conducting an operation in Ulu Pandan.

They were getting ready to catch a massive-looking python, which was just lying there by the side of the footpath.

At the beginning of the video, one of the ACRES officers places a large cage near the python.

Several curious cyclists and joggers also stopped and got ready to observe the action.
