more pictures from zoo


Can you spot the zebra? Taken while on the tram, so not conducive to take anything that need focus

Had a sense of deja-vu while on the tram... seemed like I've done this before...hmmm...

tram view

While on the tram, an ang-moh couple with their 2 adorable boys climbed on-board. The kids were eating Ben & Jerry's cookies.. and boy, the cookie was ultra-big compared to these teeny tots. Then the younger one was looking at the map with daddy, so the older boy wanted to look as well. So elder brother started to pull the map and said, "Let me have a turn." The younger one turned to his elder brother and said, "Just a minute!" Haha, it sounded so adult-like.. probably got it from their parents. The mum was quite amused. Cute!



nice shot, right?


They had this Butterfly Walk, so I took the route.. and guess what.... NO BUTTERFLIES! Haha, probably flew to don't know where I suppose...


So, when this lone butterfly (or rather.. moth?) landed on a leaf.. can't resist photographing it


cobwebs


maned wolf (from Brazil), who was quite restless that day... it kept on circling its compound... probably felt threatened by the human visitors..


comparing against the orang utan hand... wah.. mine also not small leh



chimpanzee


llama

a day at the zoo

Singapore Zoo is fun! Haha, and it's quite easy to get there. Just take bus 927 from CCK bus interchange and will reach around 15 minutes time.


zoo entrance

Tickets are expensive though :( Costs $18 for admission alone. I took the $23 ticket for the tram rides as well.

ticket and map


It's actually quite easy to walk. Attractions are within close vicinity to each other.


flamingoes


photogenic orang utans


kangaroo? or wallaby?


same picture as above but without zoom... see, the power of ZOOM, i like!

last picture taken just before the rain (from the african exhibit)


It rained at about 4pm so, waited for rain to stop and headed home. Otherwise, would've sat another full round on the tram. Must make the money worth!
