The animals, including two bobcats, two crested serpent eagles, two big-headed turtles, 103 Malayan snail-eating turtles and 18 Bengal monitors, had been rescued in July 2014 and were looked after by the Bai Tu Long National Park Wildlife Rescue Centre until their release.
Ba Mun island boasts a primary forest with diverse flora and fauna, including rare and valuable species. To help protect the forest, the government created Bai Tu Long National Park on January 24, 1997.
