I love all these free-ranging monkeys, especially the chubby fellow here, the White-faced Saki. It’s a male species.
It’s feeding time for the female white-faced saki monkey. This type of New World monkey feeds on fruits, seeds, nuts and insects.
The Fragile Forest is one of my favourites at the Singapore Zoo. It’s pretty exciting and you get hair raising encounter with creepy crawlies and critters crossing your path; just like this fluffy-ear coolio that can be crawling on the branch right above you!
This black-and-white ruffed lemur gave me a fright when it suddenly cried out loudly and jumped onto the railing of the stairs that I was standing while taking a picture of it. I dare not stand close to this “spirit of the night” anymore.
A fruit bat hanging upside down, oh well, all bats hang upside down. Have you ever wondered why bats hang upside down? Seems like the critters in the fragile forest love watermelon.
Still in the Fragile Forest, with butterflies fluttering around and feeding on nectar.
You’ll see a great variety of orchids in Singapore, afterall, orchid is Singapore’s national flower. To be exact, it’s called Vanda Miss Joaquim. (Not shown here.)
The Lion King.
The Gorgeous Giraffes. They hardly sleep; they only sleep for about 2 hrs a day.
The white rhinoceros.
A squirrel. Say “Cheeseburger”!
Bring your kids to Kidzworld for the pony ride and the horse carriage ride.
Do-re-mi duckies crossing the stream.
The zebras turned away as we moved toward them.
And this is “zebra crossing” on the road.

Singapore Zoo and Night Safari are completely separated and doesn’t share their animals?
@Jasper: Yes both are different zoos. I went to the Night Safari last week! Sometimes it can be quite exciting walking in the dark and very near to the ferocious animals like the hyena.
Here where I live, the big zoo has a wild animal park where we can view the creatures at their natural habitat.
I have to say I really enjoyed the 5-part tour. A very interesting series.
same here, very interesting and informative series eunice!
are the first 4 photos all monkeys?
hw do u differentiate btwn a male and a female? (can see from the photos?)
Singapore Zoo is very nice. I’ve been here three years ago. It reminds me of me riding the trolley while looking at the animals. It was dark though and I can only hear the sound of the wild animals in the jungle. Scary. It’s funny how I haven’t been to Honolulu zoo yet. But that’s one of my must-travel parks in Hawaii.
My kids love Singapore Zoo. Everything there is very well organised!
@leafless, Jasper: Thanks!!
@lz: I read it from the web. The male looks like the one in the top pic. The female looks exactly like the one on the 2nd pic. XD
@Bridge: Riding the trolley in the dark? Did you mean the Night Safari? Gonna blog about that after this LG contest.
@peteformation: It’s true, and it’s beautiful.
