Bobcat Rescued From a Storm Drain Wink News Segment #Bobcat #InjuredWildlife 01.31.2017 - A bobcat is slowly recovering after being rescued from a storm drain. ** This video is the property of Wink News Digital Media, and is intended to be used solely for non-profit educational purposes only for Florida wildlife, no infringement intended ** The original story can be found here: https://www.winknews.com/2017/01/31/bobcat-rescued-from-storm-drain-in-charlotte-county/ Charlotte County Animal Control discovered the animal injured in a ditch near Veterans and Orlando boulevards after receiving a tip. It had a broken leg and internal bleeding. “I’ve been at the department for close to 20 years and I’ve never seen one in this particular situation,” said Brian Jones, the division manager for Charlotte County Animal Control. The bobcat was rushed to the Peace River Wildlife Center, where it’s receiving 24-hour care. But a recovery wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the partnership between the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office, animal control and the wildlife center, doctors said. “An animal control officer stayed with him and kept traffic routed away from him, and kept him under control until I could get there,” said Dr. Robin Jenkins, director of veterinary services at the wildlife center. “Without help like that, we probably wouldn’t have been able to help this cat.” The bobcat is currently in a coma. If it wakes up, it will be transported to a larger facility in Venice for more treatment before being released into the wild. Thank you for watching! Please like and make a comment.

Juvenile Seminole Bat being groomed and brushed and loving it! #SeminoleBat 07.03.2014 - We're seeing more baby bats this summer than we do usually, but they're so cool! Did you know they can eat 3000 insects a night? That's basically eating their body weight in insects! Our baby bats in home care aren't fully weaned, so they get some insects but still want their bat milk formula. But did you know baby bats have to be groomed?? Check out this video of a juvenile Seminole bat being brushed to keep his fur in good condition. :) **The rehabber in the video has had pre-exposure rabies vaccinations and is authorized to handle the bat--and the bat's used to the handler. Never handle a bat with bare hands. Bat Fun Facts: -Bats are the only mammals who can truly fly. -There are no vampire bats in the US. Vampire bats are found mostly in southern Mexico, and Central and South America. -Bats don't attack humans and won't get caught in your hair. They're actually timid and mostly just ignore us. ;) -70% of the world's bats are insectivores (eat insects) and contrary to popular belief, most of Florida's bats are insectivores. The only fruit bat in Florida is the Jamaican Fruit-eating bat that's sometimes found in Key West. -Bats are suffering from loss of habitat. But you can attract them by putting up bat houses.

Bobcat Kitten with mange rescued and being treated - NBC2 News Segment #Bobcat #WildlifeRescue 05.08.2015 - The Peace River Wildlife Center has a unique guest in its rescue facility. A stray bobcat kitten is being nursed back to health after a North Port woman spotted it on the side of the road. You'll find all kinds of different animals at the Peace River Wildlife Center in Punta Gorda. Nowhere is this truer than the limited-access isolation rehab and recovery room. "We keep them in here, so they don't get used to being around people. That way when we release them, they're not going to recognized people other than the threats that we are," said Wildlife Center Director Dr. Robin Jenkins. It's where opossums, screech owls and bobcats are all roommates. The newest addition to the room is a bobcat kitten. The kitten came in this week after North Port resident Chelsea Beach found him on the side of the road. Beach says the bobcat got within four feet of her. She tells us that was one of the many signs there was something wrong. "Even though I couldn't see anything wrong, there's definitely something wrong. I thought he was blind because that's kind of like how he was walking -- like he couldn't see," said Beach. Beach contacted the Peace River Wildlife Center -- where the bobcat ended up just a few days later. Jenkins tells us the kitten wasn't in great shape. "This guy is just not very healthy. He's got sarcoptic mange, which is a skin parasite that has caused a bad infection on his skin," said Jenkins. But, the feline is doing better and getting less friendly -- a good sign according to Jenkins. "He's snarling and every time we throw food in his cage at him, he lunges at it. It's thrilling to me to see he's a little bit sick, but he's feisty. I think he's going to be just fine," said Jenkins. Jenkins and her team hope to release the kitten back into the wild in a few weeks. ** This video is the property of NBC2 NEWS / WBBH, and is intended to be used for solely for educational purposes only. ** The original video news story can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii1YvTqV8-g and the story on NBC2 website here: https://www.nbc-2.com/story/29017907/bobcat-kitten-recovering-at-peace-river-wildlife-center Thank you for watching!

Ravioli Raccoon gets can stuck on head and removed FOX News Segment #Raccoon #Ravioli This young raccoon likes his Chef Boyardee a little too much! A kind Port Charlotte citizen found this distressed raccoon in her backyard this morning with his head stuck in a ravioli can.

Osprey Released back to the Wild August 2018 #Osprey #WildlifeRescue This adult Osprey gave us a show at its release last week. It was fished out of a canal in PGI dazed and not flying away, a few weeks ago. We were never positive whether it had had a collision or was affected by #Redtide toxins. But this spunky Osprey improved quickly and flew off strong! (And in typical “not so graceful on the ground” Osprey form, it gets itself a bit stuck in the kennel in its eagerness to leave! 😉) Thank you for watching! Please Like, Share and Comment.

Purple Martin’s Released to the Wild Just in Time! #PurpleMartin #WildlifeRescue Purple Martin’s Released to the Wild Just in Time!. Sometimes we get to experience extra wonderful releases, like we had with our purple martins on Monday at dusk! We don’t see many purple martins come to PRWC but we’ve had 5 young ones in this season, from two situations where they couldn’t be renested. The tricky part of raising purple martins is the colonies leave their nest sites all together mid-June to the beginning of July and join at communal sites before all migrate to South America for the summer. The pressure was on to get ours out and with a colony ASAP! As we neared the time for our juveniles to go, martins were already vacating the nest sites we knew! Through the quick help of the Purple Martin Conservation group, we located a still-active nesting colony in Cape Coral and released ours to this massive colony of 500+ purple martins. It was awesome to watch ours join with their new flock! Thank you for watching! Please Like, Share and Comment. Be sure to Subscribe and ring the bell icon to stay updated.

Ursula the Crested Caracara Discovering Her Hidden Eggs Treats #CrestedCaracara Did you know the Crested Caracara, a bird who frequently hangs out with vultures at “The Carrion Cafe”, is in fact a falcon and not related to vultures? The Caracara doesn’t have the typical agile flight of other falcons but they ARE well adapted for walking with their long legs and flatter talons. Because of that, Caracaras spend a lot of time on the ground foraging and eating carrion. What we really love about the Crested Caracara is their curiosity! In captivity, they’re as inquisitive as a crow or raccoon and are a delight to offer food “puzzles” to. Our resident Caracara Ursula loves getting food puzzles.

Icarus the Bald Eagle on Wink News #BaldEagle #Electrocution 12/04/2017 – Icarus updates: Monday 12/4, we received several calls at once regarding an eagle that was floundering in a canal. The residents heard a huge bang and went outside to check it out. The eagle apparently was shocked on the power line, landed on the ground and hopped into the water. Our veterinarian, Dr. Robin, and two of Punta Gorda’s finest, Officers Joe Farley & Tony Pribble, were on the scene to rescue the bird. Upon examination back at PRWC, it was noted that the bird has extensive burn marks over most of his body. ** This video is the property of Wink News Digital Media and is intended to be used for solely for educational purposes only. The original story can be found here: https://www.winknews.com/2017/12/07/injured-bald-eagle-recovering-peace-river-wildlife-center-punta-gorda/ Dr Robin is working alongside FPL to identify the pole where the bird was shocked and they are working diligently to repair the issue. We would like to thank Officers Farley & Pribble for their hard work and help to rescue the eagle and to FPL for handling the situation so quickly & efficiently.

"Be The One" Giving Challenge 2018 - PRWC #BeTheOne
Apr 28, 2018
Orion the Barred Owl and Dr. Robin preparing for Earth Day 2018 #BarredOwl #EarthDay The bad news is that Orion, a Barred Owl, could not be returned to the wild when he was discovered (and, unfortunately fed) by humans and had to be taken to The Peace River Wildlife Center in Punta Gorda, where, as explained by Executive Director Robin Jenkins, DVM, he was found to be too habituated to humans and had lost his ability to fend for himself in the wild. The good news is that, as one of the resident Educational Animals at PRWC, he makes for a good teaching moment for humans who want to learn more about the species, and what to do with a fledgling or hatchling that seems lost and in need of human intervention (which is almost always not the case). Because his long term prospects in the wild were not promising, Orion became an educational ambassador for his roommates who are also permanent residents at the PRWC: those with conditions or injuries so severe they cannot be released back into the wild, spending their lives instead dedicated to venturing into to classrooms, festivals, and other venues to give people a hint at the good works being done at the Center, and other Wildlife Rescue Centers in Florida. Educational Animals such as Orion, while, unlike many other injured and orphaned creatures rescued from precarious predicaments cannot be returned to their natural environment, provide an up-close experience for humans interested in learning more about their habitats, and the many other creatures that still live in the wild. Orion (and Dr. Jenkins) can be found at Englewood’s Earth Day Sunday Festival where Jenkins is scheduled to make a presentation on the mission of wildlife rescue centers to treat, and release (where feasible), native Florida wildlife who have been orphaned, injured, or are ill, on Sunday, April 22nd (11:00 AM) at Buchans Community Park (next to the Buchans Air Field on the corner of Old Englewood Road and State Road 776). They can also be found at the Peace River Wildlife Center 3400 Ponce de Leon Parkway in Punta Gorda, Florida.

Blossom the Awesome Opossum and Dr. R. Interviewed before Earth Day 2018 #Opossum #EarthDay Blossom (the opossum) showed up one day at the Peace River Wildlife Center in Punta Gorda and quickly became one of the Center’s permanent residents and Educational Animals (one of the few at PRWC that are not birds) due to a common issue facing animals who have been injured or orphaned while living in their natural habitat: they are unable to function in the wild as nature intended. In Blossom’s case, as Dr. Robin Jenkins, DVM, Executive Director, explained in a recent interview, “her mentation was never right” from the very beginning. The mentation of an animal such as Blossom refers to her neurological state which, for her, means that, because of a congenital issue or perhaps even trauma to the brain, she is unable to react to stimulus in the correct way to survive in the wild as, for example, by being all cute and cuddly with her human benefactors instead of doing the smart thing and running as fast as she can in the opposite direction. Although an animal such a Blossom, being as docile and loving as she is, would seem to make a good pet, Jenkins quickly dispels any such notion. While often humans will attempt to raise a baby animal that has been orphaned and are cute and cuddly at first, eventually they will get to an age where “natural instincts kick in and they become wild - they can get mean” Jenkins said. She stresses the importance of having trained wildlife professionals nurture the animals in the right way when they are young and vulnerable, until they reach the point where they can be released back where they belong: the wild. Oh, and lest we forget, Pogo the Possum was there for the First Earth Day. Blossom (and Dr. Jenkins) can be found at Englewood’s Earth Day Sunday Festival where Jenkins is scheduled to make a presentation on the mission of wildlife rescue centers to treat, and release (where feasible), native Florida wildlife who have been orphaned, injured, or are ill, on Sunday, April 22nd (11:00 AM) at Buchans Community Park (next to the Buchans Air Field on the corner of Old Englewood Road and State Road 776).

Leucistic Screech Owl Earth Day 2018 Rehearsal Interview #LeucisticOwl #AlbinoOwl #ScreechOwl Luna, a leucistic (albino) Eastern Screech Owl, is among a number of permanent residents at the Peace River Wildlife Center who, unlike many other injured and orphaned creatures rescued from precarious predicaments, cannot be returned to his natural environment in the wild. As is often the case where an individual from a species stands out by looking different, Luna’s unique appearance as a diminutive, snow white screech owl, made him more of an attractive target for predators to descend upon, as opposed to an outstanding example of the diversity of nature, admired by other members of the Animal Kingdom (including humans). As explained on the PRWC website, “[t]he prevalence of albinism has been estimated in some species at 1 in 20,000. The chances of complete leucism are estimated at more like 1 in 100,000. It is difficult to ascertain the number of wild animals with these conditions because they usually do not survive long.” In April of 2013 when Luna was first discovered, alone with his parents nowhere in sight, it was thought that he may have fluttered out of the nest (as fledglings often do when they are first stretching their growing wings), or he may have been intentionally kicked out of the nest to prevent him from drawing too much unwanted attention. According to Dr. Robin Jenkins, DVM, Executive Director at the Center, “the screech owl’s main advantage is its camouflage. Their bark-coloured feathers allow them to blend into the tree in which they are perching.” As he grew and started to perch on the edge of the nest, Luna was a beckoning white flag waving to nearby predators, as if to signal: “We surrender! Come eat us!” “This little marshmallow would quickly become the component of some predator’s s’more if left on his own” said Jenkins.

Phoenix Rises from the Ashes - American Bald Eagle on Fox & Friends #WildlifeRescue #BaldEagle Steve Doocy from Fox News & Friends speaks live with Dr. Robin about Phoenix the Bald Eagle. This video is the property of Fox News and Friends | Fox News Network | Fox Broadcasting Company and is intended to be used solely for non-profit educational purposes only for Florida wildlife, no infringement intended ** Sunday, January 13th, 2013 was an incredibly lucky day for a bald eagle that has been dubbed Phoenix. If you can consider having been caught on fire lucky. January 13, 2013 is the day Phoenix came in contact with an electrical transformer and accidentally triggered an arc. While he was fortunate to not be electrocuted, the intense heat of the arc flash, which can reach four times the temperature of the sun, burnt the feathers on the right side of his body. When presented to Peace River Wildlife Center in Punta Gorda Florida, his chances of survival looked slim. All of the feathers on his right wing were scorched to the shaft, half of his tail feathers were gone, and the skin on the right side of his face and right foot were singed. The next 24 to 48 hours would reveal whether or not the current flowed through his body, which would result in the death of any tissues (skin, muscle, even organs) through which the current passed. Under close observation for the next three days, Phoenix flourished. He immediately began eating and seemed relatively resigned to his captive state. Once the concern over internal damage was passed, the question remained would the damaged skin and feathers grow back normally and how long would it take? As he recovered from the initial shock of being shocked, Phoenix got stronger and feistier. He was transferred to a larger habitat, further away from the hustle and bustle of the rehabilitation and visitor's center. It is there that Phoenix awaits his future. The singed skin on his face and foot has healed. Almost all of the scorched feathers have fallen out. Many new feathers have grown in, but it may take up to three years before Phoenix has replaced every damaged feather and is ready to fly free again. With your generous donations, PRWC will be able to continue to feed and care for Phoenix and monitor his progress. Thank you for watching! Please Like, Share and Comment.

CUTE Otter Baby Being Bottle Fed #Otters #BabyAnimals #CuteAnimals Little Otter Baby Being Bottle Fed. Our little otter baby was moderately dehydrated when it came in yesterday. On intake, our first priority is to get a young animal’s temperature back to normal since many are unable to regulate their body temp and come to us chilled. Once warmed, they’re re-hydrated before given any wildlife-appropriate formulas. Here, the otter was willingly lapping up re-hydration fluids by syringe yesterday, a great start!

Baby Wild Bunny Drinks Milk Mix #BabyBunny #Rabbit December in Florida: the rabbits continue to breed. For proof, check out this way too cute cottontail bunny lapping up formula! In SW Florida, the rabbits breed almost year round. This one is one of six bunnies who are moving to a pre-release cage today. Many of our bunnies come in caught by dogs or cats or disturbed by lawn mowers. Wild baby rabbits are difficult to raise even for wildlife rehabbers so we're always happy when they do well!

And yes, that’s on a phone that one of our rehabbers shared with Spirit lol. Crows are very intelligent and benefit from new stimuli and activities. Spirit recently injured her foot and has been staying in our hospital lately for bed rest. She’s almost 14 years old and is starting to show her age. In the meantime, Spirit’s lovin’ the special attention she’s getting during recovery! Thank you for watching! Please Like, Share and Comment.

Lesser Scaups Released Back to the Wild after Paralyzing Red Tide Toxins #LesserScaup #RedTide Many of our Facebook friends know we had a red tide event hit PRWC mid-December. We lost too many lesser scaups, many dying in their first few hours or being found dead on Charlotte Harbor beaches after exposure to red tide. Red tide toxins paralyze birds and other animals. The scaups are a migratory duck that winters in the harbor and may have been susceptible after the exertion of migration. We were SO happy to release the survivors this past week!! We still have another 8 Scaups in care. Thank you for watching! Please Like, Share and Comment Be sure to Subscribe and ring the bell icon to stay updated.

Downy Woodpeckers Released to the Wild after Fractured Legs Healed #DownyWoodpeckers #Woodpeckers In wildlife rehab you have to take the bad with the good. But these Downy Woodpecker nestlings were part of the good with a GREAT ending...partly because they're so adorable and we see them rarely. But especially because of their stories. One had fractured both legs in the same spot! He had a very uncertain prognosis. His sister had a fracture on her femur. The amazing thing is baby bird bones heal so quickly! And since they were nestlings they wouldn't be moving around much to start. It's the best feeling to see a bird with a healing leg fracture begin to stand, perch or cling like a woodpecker!

We've gotten in several new babies from our stormy weather this week and they don't let you forget 'em, that's for sure. They keeps our volunteers busy since they get fed every half hour. In this group we have grackles and red bellied woodpeckers...you probably noticed the woodies picking on each other. The two pairs are siblings but woodpecker babies aren't known for getting along!

WARNING: Dangerous Cuteness Ahead. Infant Brazilian Free Tailed Bat Feeding Time #BabyBats WARNING: Dangerous cuteness ahead. This infant Brazilian free tailed bat came in this week. He weighed only 3 grams on intake! He's so tiny! Some baby bats (tree roosting species like a yellow bat baby in our care) will nurse by lapping formula off a silicone syringe tip but free tailed bats (who are crevice dwellers) won't lap. Instead they suck on tiny formula-soaked pieces of makeup applicator sponges, a technique developed by Bat World of Texas. This tiny free tailed bat is taking to it like a pro! ** Bats are rabies vector species and should only be handled by those with proper licensing and pre-exposure rabies vaccinations.

Wood Stork Shot by BB Gun Recovered & Released to the Wild 1/3/2017 #WoodStork #Stork This Wood Stork, a threatened species, was admitted to the Center and during the examination the Hospital Staff determined it was shot with a BB Gun which had fractured his wing. The Stork's wing was stabilized and treated while it healed. A long 5 weeks later this lucky bird showed us it has recovered and was ready to be returned to the wild...and that's exactly what we did.

Dobbi the Opossum finding his Kong Treats #Opossum #KongTreats Have you visited the PRWC recently? If so you've probably had a peek at our resident opossum Dobby. Dobby's had a growth spurt recently and seems to be packing on the weight (for our Florida winter? Haha)! To keep him on a diet but not bored all day, he gets puzzle feeders...here he is with a kong toy with treats and superworms hidden inside. As you see, he really enjoyed his treat! Come on down for a visit this weekend! We're open 11-4 seven days a week. Thank you for watching! Please Like, Share and Comment. Be sure to Subscribe and ring the bell icon to stay updated.
