Check out this before and after, the difference 10 days can make. A clutch of owlets hatch a couple of days apart , called asynchronous hatching, allowing the parents to stagger feeding demands. Sadly their mom was beaten to death by school kids, possibly due to superstition, and there was nowhere safe for them. Here at the Kogelberg Biosphere Wildlife Rescue and Training Center, we focus on raising babies wild, and these will eventually be released in a nicer area. To support what we do, checkout our brand new QR code. Why not give it a test run?

Thank you to Arno from the Overberg municipality for this amazing drone footage. It might not look like much from the air, but the team in this tiny building are doing wonderful work for wildlife.

This magnificent Spotted Eagle Owl arrived at our clinic with all of its secondary feathers trimmed off!? We have no idea how this happened and of course we can't ask our patients. So we are asking Betty,'s Bay residence around the Stoney Point area if they know what might have happened?
Sadly this owl is also suffering from the effects of rodenticide poison and an eye infection. The prognosis is not good, and if it does survive, it will take several months for the feathers to regrow. We would love to get an answer to this mystery. Please call Michelle on 0733140674 if you live in that area and know what occurred.

In between caring and feeding the animals, cleaning enclosures and washing blankets and towels, the aroma of coffee encourages us to sit down and relax - and most importantly, chat about the downside of what we see as well as the encouraging moments.

If you wish to help our wildlife please consider buying your next bag of coffee from Rescue Roast who help us with funding from every bag sold

Wahoooooo! This baby Pole Cat has finally learnt to eat on her own......although eating from a dish is still proving challenging.
With no more hands-on contact, she will quickly learn to be independent and wild. Raising animals wild is a specialized skill that should not be undertaken without the correct training. Every patient that enters a rehab center is given the best possible chance of developing the skills they will need once released. We are still anticipating the day when she discovers she can spray us with her a**l gland!!!🤮. Until then, she is an absolute pleasure to watch as she finds new things to munch on.

WARNING: Graphic images.
The number of antelope killed in the Kogelberg Biosphere has become extremely concerning. Since the opening of the Kogelberg Biosphere Wildlife Rescue Center, we have been recording cases of road kill that are brought to our attention. Every reported death is logged in our register as if it was our own loss. The number of deaths due to impact with cars has become our number one killer of Grysbok and Duiker in the Kogelberg Biosphere and the highest number of road kills recorded in our log books. This mornings victim is a lactating female found dead on the corner of Sea Way and Disa in Bettys Bay. To create awareness about the decline in these species, please help us by reporting mortalities that you come across. You can call Michelle on 0733140674 with any wildlife emergencies.

This 6 week old Polecat, or Zorilla, is doing very well and will soon be upgraded to an outside enclosure to develop her hunting. We don't normally name patients but the name Stinkmuishond is totally inappropriate! She has the smell of a new born kitten and the attitude of a naughty puppy. Please support the work we do by providing a meal for her. She loves Royal Canin Kitty milk and live crickets ❤️❤️
