A day at the zoo...

To be exact, it's half a day at River Safari in Singapore's Zoo. Well, I got a corporate pass for four person for which entitled us to free entry to the River Safari, one of the three parks at Singapore Zoo. Mostly, of course, it feature river animals from almost the whole world such as Mekong river, Yangtze River, Amazon river and etc. It's quite a pleasant day as it rains earlier and that cools down the afternoon. However, we are in the shades all the time due to the aquarium type of viewing. The park was not as big as the main zoo thus it's not as tiring to finish the entire exhibit. And, most importantly,we are there to check out the pandas, kai kai and jia jia.

The place was serene with the mandai lake nearby 

Of Piranhas and Stingray ....  as one of the exhibits

Different types of alligators from different rivers

I love this pix ... 

The big fishes from the Amazon river ....  and that was a huge cat fish

And, here you are .... the main attractions of the safari, Kai Kai and Jia Jia in a comfortable air-conditioned enclosure. There were really a crowd there checking them out!  There were even zoo personnels guarding over them. Look how precious they are!

Squirrel monkeys ... these fellas are so tiny, no wonder they are called squirrel monkeys

A bridge to cross over to the other half of the park ... what a calm and relaxing view

And, not forgetting the best KFC in town. I alway find the zoo offered the best KFC compared to other outlets. Quite strange or is it because we are starving after a long walk ?

Golden crispy chickens for our hungry stomachs
Have a good week!

  6. We wanted to go to the zoo yesterday too, but lucky didnt go.. Bil went around 12pm and only arrived there around 2pm+ coz it was so jam.. And upon arrival the q was soooooo long, they couldnt get in so they detoured to KLCC to the aquarium instead.. Same thing, jam and long q and all, they reached home around 8pm! Without dinner!

    1. Princess - as usual in kl. In Singapore, driving is a luxury as the car ownership is not affordable. So, there's less jam here.

  8. My gosh, I've never been to Singapore Zoo even though I was a regular visitor last time. The nearest I came to entering was the Night Safari entrance, and that was it. =.+

    Whoa, piranhas there?!
