Think the last time I’ve been to the SIngapore Zoo was 2 years ago with my family. This time round is my 3rd time to the zoo. Didn’t mind going there again as the zoo’s really interesting. At least, compared to the Taiping Zoo near my hometown. I managed to get 4 complimentary passes thanks to my company’s Corporate Pass. Managed to ballot the pass after trying twice! Yin Sin hasn’t been there before and so decided to bring her there. I invited Yi Wang and Yen Ping also as not to ‘waste’ the 2 more free entries.

I reached there at 845am. It’s about an hour’s away journey from my place at Hougang. At that time of day, there’s very little crowd and the animal’s have just awaken.

First, it’s the proboscis monkey, found in the land of Sabah. It has a very long nose, like an ‘ang moh’ monkey

There’s the white tiger taking it’s morning walk…

Ducks going for their morning swim

And the elephants are having breakfast…

The birds only flew and joined in at 930am

The otters woke up late cause when I went to their habitat at 8 something, there’s nothing to be seen. Only at around 930 that they come running out playing around.

Even the birds are looking for food..

Next to their rhino counterparts, that is…

The flamingos with their long slender necks dipping into the water… looking for food at the very bottom on the ground

While some animals have to reach high up for food…

Some have their food properly laid out for them…

Some like to be fed.

While the cheetahs are lying around on the grass, lazing under the shed..

Can you tell the difference between these cats? The below is a jaguar

There’s also the ostrich, having their morning bowel movements. It’s quite gross actually…

There’s this tongue-like thing jutting out from it’s anus.

Then it sucks back in after it’s done

Then it’s the animals at play! There’s this sea lion that’s very active; jumping around, splashing water…

Critters playing in the sand

Monkeys showing off to get some attention..

Performing stunts to get food

Some just make cute faces

Or showing off their ass

Some animals are quite loving… We have baboons hugging their young ones

Monkeys sharing food

And some close up pictures..

We left at approximately 300pm… After about 6 hours of non-stop walking. And the afternoon sun’s blazing hot. But at least, we covered most of all the activities. Went to all of the shows, and most of the feeding sessions. Was a fun but tiring outing… Think I’m getting old….
