Diverse wildlife rescues keep veterinarian and team on toes

Mangaluru/ Udupi: Diverse wildlife rescues have kept veterinarian Dr Yashaswi Naravi of the Chitte Pili Rescue Centre and his team busy recently. From a leopard caught in a fence wire to python eggs found near human habitation, there has been a rise in rescue cases, including birds and civet cats. Dr Yashaswi has treated several animals that various rescuers in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts rescued. During a cleanup drive by the Vana Charitable Trust, python eggs were found near AJ Hospital near the highway. These eggs were artificially incubated, resulting in the recent release of nine pythons into the wild. Surprisingly, the eggs were discovered very close to human habitation, he said. “We have been receiving several rescue cases related to birds and civet cats,” Dr Yashaswi said. A young crested goshawk, found by Akshay N Shet of Udupi Snake in the City rescue team, was hand-raised and released about two days ago, once it could hunt on its own. A woodpecker that was rescued by Animal Care Trust was hand-raised and released recently, he added. Currently, a civet cat brought by animal rescuer Vignesh from Kotekar is under rehabilitation. “It was just a day old when it arrived at the rescue centre about two months ago. It has recently started eating on its own but is not yet ready for release. The rehabilitation may take another three months at least,” Dr Yashaswi explained. Earlier in the week, a mouse deer hit by a train near BC Road was brought in for treatment to the rescue centre. However, it succumbed to its injuries on Saturday.
