Malaysia - Singapore 2013: Singapore Zoo and Night Safari

September 19, 2013
Singapore Zoo

After a mere 3 hours in the River Safari, we decided to transfer to Singapore Zoo. There are two options to cover this huge zoo - to take the tram and get off selected sections of the zoo or walk. We decided to walk. Haha! Ang sipag namin di ba? But noong napagod na kami, we rode the tram.

We were here! :)

Two of the bears they have: Black Bear and
the HUGGGGE Polar Bear

Their many kinds of lizards: Iguana, Monitor Lizard
and Komodo Dragon.

Species of Snakes: Milksnake, Albino and Garter

A Family of Gorillas

The Proboscis Monkey

Frogs! Slimy ones. :|

Two species of Deers: Mousedeer and Spotted Deer

Giraffe! (or jirapi!)

Spotted cats: Spotted Cat, Leopard and Cheetah

Timon and Pumbaa! Meerkat and Warthog

Galapagos Turtles

The Ballerinas of the River: Pygmy Hippos

Lemur, Tree Kangaroo and Meerkat

Baboons!

Mountain Goats

White Rhimos

Sad that we only have Mali in the Philippines,
so we got to see the Elephants of Asia show in Singapore Zoo. 

Orangutans. They are such emo animals. (yes, there's one under the white sack).

The zoo is so huge, we decided to pace our visit. Though we decided on some sections that we stayed a bit long. :)


Night Safari

Night safari, it being called as such, zoo begins at 6:30 in the evening, 30 minutes after Singapore Zoo closes. Jokingly, some of the visitors who do not visit the Night Safari would tell you that the animals in Singapore Zoo and Night Safari are basically the same. The zookeepers just transfer them.

Start of the dim. :) 

The one and only shot I got at the Night Safari.
The truck is basically similar to the safari ride you'll be taking inside. 

Night safari is a park dedicated to nocturnal animals in Asia. Since flash photography (guilty in one shot! I wasn't able to check my settings) is strictly prohibited due to the nature of the animals, none of the visitors took a shot, thus, you barely see pictures about the Night Safari.

We are afraid that these animals may attack us, we decided to just ride the tram (twice) around the safari. W are very lucky to hear one pack of wolves to howl (at our first ride, so we decided to take another if we can hear it the second time around) and be informed that our very own carabaos known as the water buffalos are nocturnal animals. We wanted to correct them, but naah! We paid roughly 20 dollars to see a carabao! :))

After an animal filled day (and night) we capped off our safari day at around 10 in the evening. It was the first time we went home that late!
