I do voluntary field work in Singapore. Moved here from London decades ago. Currently doing dragonfly count,species,numbers etc. Also with Jane Goodall Institute here for the Raffles Banded Langur. The reintroduction to the wild of the Pied Hornbill has been successful. I have spotted them from my window and they say on my friends balcony.
Great sharing. I am not sure why some people in Singapore can be negative and against the otters living among us. It’s something we can be proud of. Surely they have been here way before us.
@@DressedRunner it's nature. Not really a rich person problem. If I reared big fishes in the open, I would be scared for my fishes too. Koi are by far some of the biggest here around.
I have lived in the Boston MA area for 5 years. This past year we moved into the city. Since moving into the city I've seen, a groundhog that lives under my neighbors house and he can't figure out how to get rid of it, a very large skunk, a very large non-venomous snake, rabbits galore, and of course birds, squirrels, chipmunks. Very interesting
@@unicornia7494 Not really. Not sure which type they are. But some of them exist and are well established in certain areas long before Covid. There was already a bunch of them around SGH, that looks like normal chickens. Those around my flat near Boon Keng have plumages that look closer to Junglefowl, very colorful. The female looks nothing like what you expect a chicken to look like, smaller, smoother in shape.
BTW there are wild peacocks in the Mandai area in Singapore as well. As for why there are wild peacocks, the story was there was a expat working in Singapore in the past who reared a muster of peacocks in his home in Singapore. When he was about to leave Singapore, according to him, his muster of peacocks suddenly escaped from the enclosure?!?🙄🙄🙄🙄 That is why there are wild peacocks in Singapore.
I feel one of the larger contributing factors which made the wildlife come back was actually cov1d because people stayed home during the lockdown and wildlife had more safe space to roam.
Those otters holds singaporean citizenship already since the video references is more than 5 years. 😅😅 Otters or wild life care and co-living awareness education via social media is the simple interesting solution.
Sometimes the reintroduction of a species has a knock-on effect, displacing another subspecies. For example, wolves in Yellowstone and Colorado “ evicted” coyotes who then “moved” foxes into suburban, then urban areas. I have seen the increase of foxes in cities like the one I live in, Lincoln, NE and also, for a curious reason, in the UK before fox hunting became unpopular, foxes forsook country fields. and woods to take up residence in Bristol, England and very populated urban areas of London. 🦊🦊🦊
how did those otter/wildlife enthusiasts not know that they aren't supposed to be this close? it's basic knowledge and if you're an enthusiast you would know. those guys chose to break those rules.
Yes, please educate all the general public especially foreigners who are ignorant not to jog/run straight at the otters. Hope the government and Nparks will plant more native plants to create habitats for all the existing wildlife and encourage more to return. Don't want just parks for humans but safe habitats for wildlife too. Our local wildlife enriches our lives! Tropical countries should have lots of biodiversity if we hadn't destroyed their habitats. In Sungei Pandan, a small patch of rainforest where civet cats and water fowl live will soon be cleared for more condominium housing and some like parts of Dover forest already gone! If only there are fewer humans.
We as a species are quite selective when it comes to wildlife tho. Why are Otters tolerated, even celebrated while Rats are kill on sight? Why are one type of rodents Squirrels tolerated while others are persecuted? Morality have a Aesthetic bias.
Otters don’t live in human garbage and are vectors for the Bubonic plague, but I do wish we had tigers back in Singapore. One of the last wild tigers was shot under a pool table in the Raffles Hotel.

I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $100k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.

Too many wildlife thriving in city will conflict with human. The otters in Singapore has become overpopulated, become pest to residents. They developed fine taste for juicy well fed pet koi fishes kept in outdoor pond. They attacked the koi not for food as most of the dead koi fishes were found partially eaten. Aggressive to human too, a few cases of group of otters wounded residents.
Current population of Singapore is 5,842,444 as of Saturday, October 5, 2024. Pet dog population in Singapore is around 114,000 in 2023. The pet cat population hovers around 94,000 in 2023. Otter population in Singapore is approximately 170 otters in 2024. But hey, let's blame the otters who are native to Singapore and whose original habitat was destroyed in the 1960s, with the Singapore River and Kallang Basin becoming too polluted to support animal life. The otters managed to re-establish themselves in the 1990s after the rivers were cleaned up. That's a comeback story and we should be celebrating their return and finding ways to co-exist
God loves you and cares for you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this large universe and controls it completely. The greatest loss a person loses in this life is that he lives without knowing God who created him and knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. Great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and after that you have the choice to believe in it or not to believe in it. I advise you to do this now, before you no longer have time to do so. Life is very short. It is just a test, just a passage to eternal life. Great advice to those who... Understands

dragonfly ! they are small and agile how do you observe them ?
Great sharing. I am not sure why some people in Singapore can be negative and against the otters living among us. It’s something we can be proud of. Surely they have been here way before us.
Mostly due to the otters eating up fish reared by fish lovers. The otters ate many valuable koi fishes.
@@runesalvatore4843 Those seems like rich people's problem and nothing of concerns to me
@@DressedRunner it's nature. Not really a rich person problem. If I reared big fishes in the open, I would be scared for my fishes too. Koi are by far some of the biggest here around.
recently the otters just attacked an grown man who need to receive multiple stitches in hospital.
@@DressedRunner Maybe they should raise electric eels instead. Why do you sound so bitter?
It takes great effort from all Singaporeans to live together with these animals in such urban environments
If I lived there, all my spare time would be watching them
A true wonder and we can learn lots from them, i find them magical 😍🤩
Beautiful presentation and love the conclusion!
Amazing video presentation and thank you for sharing/posting.
I want to be an otter watcher

From Singapore, with ❤
Please don’t forget the endangered wild junglefowl who roam everywhere freely, i love them to bits too! Ancestor of the modern day chicken ❤❤❤
Yes! They are gorgeous birds. I live in Singapore and hear the rooster every morning as I get up early....
They are not junglefowl though, most are just normal chickens that were released during COVID. Talked to a Nparks personnel regarding this

You forgot to to me mention free roaming chickens and wild boars too. Nearer to mandai there are sambar deers in the wild, can you imagine...
BTW there are wild peacocks in the Mandai area in Singapore as well.

This reminds me of that BBC mini clip from a documentary 😊❤❤❤

Kotaro and hana say hi. 🐾
3:36 those are status of sea lions in har paw villa, those are not otters. You can tell by the flippers

Anyone else think this guy is a young Carl Fredrickson look alike from the movie Up? I mean this in the most complimentary way. I love him.
How about the wild chicken of Singapore
I wish you would have a program about dust storms in the Middle East and iran they have made life difficult for us.
There are also snake watchers and insect watchers etc
how did those otter/wildlife enthusiasts not know that they aren't supposed to be this close? it's basic knowledge and if you're an enthusiast you would know. those guys chose to break those rules.
Humans are made to interact with animals, animals are also made to interact with humans. Don't be so cynical.

guess he doesnt know singapore has tigers before , which is extinct
koi owners will curse them damn otters
