A Visit To The Zoo

Wow. That was quite a period off from blogging. Now I'm back again to sharing pictures and trips lately. Starting this month - a visit (back) to the zoo, Singapore Zoo, with a couple of friends (one of which came from the US).

* * * *

We enter the Singapore Zoo

You will see these stuffed snake toys being sold in the souvenir shop inside

You'll find this intricate animal wall pattern atop the souvenir shop

Colorful Macaw birds for photography

A siamang. A type of monkey. He (or she) is looking at a trainer nearby.

Cute otters waiting for food from spectators

Now these are fake otters on display nearby

An unusual tapir animal, with its long snout for a nose

Singapore zoo has also lots of different flora species like this one

White tigers (tiger, tiger burning bright)

The map we have says its a babirusa (a pig or boar type of animal). It could also be a warthog.

Lots of kangaroos in the Australian Outback area of the zoo

And this one doesn't mind to pose for the edition of FHM or Maxim Singapore Zoo

Ok, this is not the way to ride an elephant

A wondrous finale show from the playful elephants

I was taking some pictures of penguins when I noticed this bird perched silently on a glass wall

Lots of penguins, looking like robots in their synchronized movements

A very old turtle (how old is this one?)

How about some fear factor style hissing cockroaches?

Somehow I'm nervous while taking a closeup picture of this lemur even though it seem so (somewhat) cute and gentle

African lions (thanks to my camera's excellent zooming)

Zebras eating their afternoon meal

A crash of rhinoceros quietly moving around their den

I thought this was a fox sleeping, but our map said this is a maned wolf

If you ever go around this zoo, I suggest you bring along some big bottle of water (though drinks here are sold but are too expensive) as walking around could be very tiresome. Add to that the humid weather of Singapore that makes walking one sweating activity. Good thing there are air-conditioned shelters strategically placed around the zoo for visitors who needs some rest.

The zoo is located at 80 Mandai Lake Road, Singapore.

Have fun in this zoo. I had a blast here along with my friends.
