Singapore Zoo-a beautiful and quite a complete experience of animals and plants.
The zoo lets us actually watch the animals out of cages and in their chosen areas of living. ‘Fragile forest’ was THE BEST part of the zoo.The bats, birds, monkeys of different species living together completely in harmony and butterflies adding beauty to this man-made forest-lots of fun!The Elephants of Asia show was very cute and well done with not only the work and play display by elephants but also explaining to the spectators what type of commands are given to the elephants by the mahuts.
Snakes were all kept in glass boxes and there were quite a variety ,the main ones being the cobras, pythons and green snakes.There is a cat country that tell us the differences between the leopards and the cheetahs and also have the white tiger, lions and jaguars.
White rinos, hippos, Gnus, Camels,Girraffes ,Oryx, Giant Tortoises, Meerkuts, Iguanas and Otters—all worth the time ,lovely to spend time just watching them move.We also got to see the Penguins here, sea lions and this new animal, to my knowledge, Manattes.Very large sea mammals,never saw them on the land for even a second-they resemble the sea lions.Another new discovery is Proboscis monkeys that what a very different nose compared to the normal monkey noses.They have a sort of extra growth on top which makes them easy to distinguish .
A wonders of the wild show was conducted with Orang-Utans, Sea lions ,Pythons and Baboons.This show was quite good too.The Tropical Crops plantation is a huge display of flowers, fruits and vegetables-a walk through this garden is soothing to the eyes as it faces the lake too!
Very well maintained and quite a blessing in this present industrial life!
