Top Five Endangered Animals in Malaysia

Black Shrew
Nobody has the record of the actual size. It may be extinct already or still occupy a small area in the area of Sabah a state of Malaysia.

Sumatran Rhinoceros
Smallest rhino measuring about 250 centimetres in length and 120-145 centimeters tall (shoulder). The 2-horned rhino can normally be found in swamps and rainforests of Asian countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and India. These species is facing extinction due to the poaching of their horns.

Malayan Tapir
Malayan Tapir has a strange body colour which is normally mistaken as a large rock when lying down. A good camouflage for this creature. However, their numbers are fast declining due to their habitat loss and the hunt for their meat. 

Mouse Deer
Better known as Sang Kancil in Malaysia's folklores, is a small creature about 70 centimeters long, 30-35 centimeters tall (shoulder), and around 5.8 kilograms in weight. Mouse deers can only be found in Malaysia, Borneo and parts of Indonesia. 

Orang Utan

There are basically 2 species of Orang Utan, the critically endangered Sumatran species and also the endangered Bornean species. Both of these species could only be found in the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. The name Orang Utan is actually from a malay word which is Orang Hutan which means "forest man", due to the similarities with the human beings. Their number have been on a decline in the past few decades due to active logging activities and forest fires.

Foster Puppies!!!

These Cute Innocent Female Puppies are looking for Foster Homes. The fault lies with the owner who refused to spay and allowed the dog to litter again and again. The owner has been warned and that she will not be entertained again when another litter comes in. 

Will you help foster them for 2 weeks? Please contact SPCA Team. Visit their website for more information.

Thank you,

SPCA Team.

Jellyfish's New Impersonators

Floating plastic bags looks similar to a jelly fish.

With a leatherback's poor vision, a delicious jellyfish and a plastic bag look the same in the ocean.

Jelly fish is known as the Leatherback turtle's favourite food. But these days, the ocean is polluted with Plastic Bags. The bad thing is that, it kills marines life. Due to the similar physical appearance as the jelly fish, sea turtles oftentimes mistaken it as their favourite food and suffocate once consuming it. Leatherback turtles have been around for 100 million years, but if changes are not made for these turtles, they could be wiped out from the Pacific Ocean in just ten more years!

Animals get tangled in them causing them to suffocate and eventually die.

Let's Stop Using Plastic Bags! 
Save the animals, save our planet! 

Play Dress Up

They might look cute... But isn't the clothes and accessories getting in their way?

Few weeks back, my friends and I were discussing animal cruelty over Nasi Lemak and one of my friend, Syahira said isn't dressing up your pet such a cruel thing to do?! Making them wear clothes is just out of their nature!

This is not a nice sight!

Well, come to think about it, it's true. They're not dolls that you can play dress up with! Plus, RSPCA (Royal Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) has said that with clothes, movement is restricted and it may 'overheat' the animals. Check out the video. RSPCA is threatening legal against people who dress up their dogs!!!

Jo Barr, RSPCA spokeswoman, said: "Dog owners should be aware that under the Animal Welfare Act that came into force in April 2007 has a duty of care to ensure that all of their pets' needs are met. One of those needs is to express normal behavior and it could mean that with restrictive clothing they are not able to do that properly. We're concerned that any pet should be viewed as a fashion accessory. Taking on an animal is a long-term commitment. It's quite humiliating and sends out the wrong message about pet care."

Is this really necessary?
