Went to the Zoo recently with the family. What a start to the trip, as soon as we left the house I forgot my handphone and then the misses forgot the keys and then the helper forgot the kids pacifier so even before I could get 1 km away I had to make 3 loops, but lucky it was near the house that we forgot all these things. So we arrived at the Singapore Zoological Gardens at around 11am. We decided to head towards the White Tiger enclosure. But then found out that it was under renovation so that was that. had our lunch break at the Ah Meng Cafe, which was Nigel’s favourite place. He was not too keen on the animals in the zoo. Don’t seem to be very interested slept along the way even. We got to see the Australian outback, some crocodiles and lots of birds. We also managed to get to the wild cats area for the lions and cheetahs. But the place where we spent most of our time was at the Monkey exhibits, that was Natalie’s favourite place, she literally went ape (pun intended) over the monkeys, kept point and making all the little baby noises. All the other animals did not strike her fancy except for the monkeys. We did not managed to get far did not even get to the children’s animal area as the sky was getting dark and it was about 3pm and the kids were getting tired so we left the zoo.
A Very colourful picture of 2 parrots.
Another bird photo, i think it’s a crane or something.
Even more bird pictures, this one was a bird picking in a hole on a Rhino’s back !!
A Kangaroo in the Australian outback section. Went with little Natalie to view this as Nigel was sleeping !
Does this look fake to you, well it does too me but it’s a real Crocodile basking in the sun.
Something right out of Discovery Channel’s Meerkat Manor !!
Here’s the gang walking in the Zoo.
And the missus with the Monkey that was just walking along the railings. Kept asking her to get closer but she dare not !
Natalie’s favourite exhibit the Monkeys and here are the Orang Utan’s playing.
As you can see little Natalie is so engrossed with the Monkey’s !!! She was absolutely fascinated by them.
More monkey’s we stay at this enclosure for a while for the little girl to get her fill of what the monkey’s were doing.
One of the great things about the Singapore zoo is that they have this open concept of enclosing the animals and they use natural barriers and some even no barriers. As in this case this was an Orang Utan taken from below, meaning we were actually walking under it and it could at any time just swing down and land beside you !
Images of some monkey’s fighting which ended with one of them falling into the pond.
