Singapore Zoo

I visited nearly every world-class attraction possible within the borders of Singapore. You'll find it in my upcoming blog posts very soon. Right now, its Zoo time! Its a hot tourist destination, but not so much for the locals.

Luckily for me, my cousin (who just got married) along with Aunt decided to take me out on this day. Thank you for accompanying me to the Zoo :)

Singapore Zoo is home to the World's largest group of primate species, where many are close to extinction. Many of these species are found in South East Asia including your favourite Orang Utan. 

Hurrr look at my muscular stance. He was posing for the group of spectators below.

We watched the Rainforest Show. Its a story about conservation and the health of the environment when human interferes with animals' natural habitats. Truthfully, the animal show that I had seen as a young kid   was comparatively better than this show, but the message is most important.

A young Orang Utan swinging above the audience :)

If you'd want something more entertaining and interesting, the Elephant show is where you would want to be! Things are done differently here in South East Asia - each Elephant has a master and they can understand Indonesian commands!

They are extremely reliable at removing heavy logs ;) And helping the master with his hat, with its legs crossed.

Honestly, my trip to the zoo couldn't be more perfect. Babies were everywhere!!

 The Chimps

 Pygmy Hippo

Spot the cheeky baby in this photo. (Click to Enlarge)

The Proboscis Monkey, with its baby :D Its also named as the ugliest monkey in the World. As if discrimination and racism isn't enough....

Hold still....

These monkeys were kissing!! And I just managed to get a photo of it before it leaped away. Hence the blurry image :( noticed their yellow hands?

Frill Necked Lizard - inspired by the scary Lizard which hisses and opens out its large frills in the Juraissic Park movie. I was really tempted to frighten it so that I can take a shot of its frilled-neck!

Squirrel Monkeys playing about.

We could walk into open enclosures where lemurs, butterflies and Malaysian bats roam free.

My cousin had a surprise when a lemur jumped on her and onto the tree branch. My Aunt was absolutely terrified and jumped when a lemur walked past her. Hahaha!

Look up! My cousin had her finger right where the giraffe is. Me? Well, its a dead tree. D:

In the end, before the rain decided to catch us offguard, we visited the Leopards. And I'd like to finish off the post with this beautiful shot of them. Gosh they look stunning. My next post is my trip to Jurong Bird Park! Look forward to it :) I have spectacular shots of these beautiful birds that I cannot wait to show!
