The Zoo in Singapore

Singapore Zoo is one of the world’s most spectacular zoos because of the use of natural barriers such as streams, rock walls and vegetation to separate animals from visitors. And later enhances the open zoo concept. The zoo is a home of 315 species of animal, over 3,600 mammals, birds and reptiles, including rare and endangered species. There is also the large captive colony of orangutans.

We can see endangered species like the Malayan tiger, the white rhino, proboscis monkey, Komodo dragon and the sea lion. We can also witness exciting and educational display of ecosystems and rainforest culture, the Fragile Forest.

My parents enjoyed the "Breakfast with an Orangutan" program, which allow them to meet and interact closely with the orangutans in the zoo. We really enjoy every animal shows, as well as token feedings coupled with live commentaries by keepers.
