To the Zoo

There is one thing (ok, there are other things too) I'm really proud of Singapore and that is her Zoo. I know, it can be a 'zoo' living and working here in Singapore but I'm referring to the Zoo that houses all the beautiful animals amidst a tropical rainforest environment. This morning, we went to the Zoo and had ourselves a really good time. (Manu and Sylvie ... you'll be able to tell from the photos why I was so sad when we were at the Doha Zoo. 'wink')

Looking fresh and awake ... ready to visit and chat with the animals.
I mean, she really did chat with them ...

Sera and I checking out the lazy Orang Utans

This orang utan, so human-like in his mannerism, was fast asleep. 'Shhhhhh', went Sera

Sera was whispering to the crocodile sweet nothings

She was so excited to see this jaguar ... but she kept saying 'Baby Jaguar', as in Dora the Explorer! I can't imagine her version of an adult jaguar.

Isn't he so handsome ... and calm, despite facing 'a little chicken'
(as in Sera) who was waving and talking so loudly?

Giraffes ... feasting on the lush greens

We caught a glimpse of the Asian elephants and their mahouts just before they on stage


I'm not so into the animal shows but most of the time, messages of conservation, appreciation and
awareness for these animals are conveyed to the audience


White tigers ... they were stunning

Passing the Orang utans, we managed to see the arowana fish jumping out of the
water to eat the dangling fish. Cool!

This orang utan found a drifting durian skin, walked over to it, used a branch to bring it closer to him

After the Zoo visit, we decided to treat ourselves to ice cream ... but of course!
