8 hectares.We are pretty lucky to reach just in time for the animal shows, although it sort of a let down for me, because the animals shown and their tricks are limited. Or maybe its just me not so amused with them anymore as when I was a thrilled kid.
They seemed amazingly obedient and capable. No doubt they are. One lady who sat beside me kept exclaiming: "Oh my gosh! How did they do that?" . Repeatedly and sorta irritating in a way. The fact is that they are well-trained through a process known as conditioning. They are rewarded for their behaviors, most commonly by food.
Apart from that, we got around and saw some intriguing animals. Here are some of them:
Orang Utans while in feeding session.
A stunned (or isit poser-happy, not sure) ostrich
Baboons in show-who-has-the-reddest-ass-off competition.
A really shy exotic cheetah avoiding all the paparazzi cameras and coaxing
A slumber snake. In fact, all of them are just like that. Just different in postures.
Now a slumber and lazy lion. Unfortunately, alot of the animalposes like that. Probably the hot weather and irritating "demands" for nice postures.
This is the White Tiger. According to their description, they are not albinos, just some gene defects. Apparently, they look pretty much better than normal ones. Gene defect huh? By the way, they are also now infamous for the suicidal guy jump into the enclosure incident.
Polar bears are my favourite. Too bad no upclose pics...blame it on my cam-phone. XD
The pin-sized vulnerable-looking Kancils. No wonder a certain type of car is named after them.
The famous Ah Meng the Orang Utan sadly passed away around this time last year. So, no chance to post with it anymore. I remembered the last time I had pics with him.
So ended the tour for Zoo of Singapore.
