Introduction
The Singapore Zoological Garden is
located in the middle of a tropical rainforest reserve,
with a total land area of 28 hectares; it is home
to some 2530 fascinating animal species. Designed
with an "open concept" idea, visitors
are allowed to have very close view at the animals.
As you visit different parts of the zoo, you will
experience a complete change in enclosure environment.
Every animal enclosure is naturally landscaped to
make the animals feel more at home. The Singapore
zoological garden is truly a lovely place to visit. |

Going
to the zoo
Getting
to the Singapore Zoo is easy, with a few
public busses to choose from or get on any
Singapore's efficient taxis. Upon arrival
at the zoo; you will see a neatly landscaped
and designed entrance, with a few life-like
animal sculptures. As you tour the entire
park, you will see many more of these amazing
animal sculptures. |

Talking
about miniatures
While
trying to find the gibbons that call so
loudly from trees above at the entrance,
I hardly noticed the herd of minute mouse
deer that scrambled across the ground below
the bridge. Each mature mouse deer is only
about 1ft across from head to tail and with
such small legs; you simply have to stop
to wonder how they balance on them. |

Animal's
natural environment
Animal's
natural environment is very crucial to the
survival and adaptability of animal species,
thankfully for the many well thought landscape
architects, the animals here get to feel
more at home. Every visitor at the zoo can
experience walking through tropical rainforest,
Africa savannas, Australia outback and even
a visit to the Artic Ocean. |

Your
so beautiful
Any
ideal why we have Animal TV channels? That's
because animals are truly beautiful in their
natural setting. With all these beautiful
animals living around us, I wonder why people
would even drive them to extinction through
illegal trades or trades of animal parts.
Let’s do our part in preserving our
beautiful nature by condemning illegal trades
of wild animal and animal parts. |

Lazing
in the shade
It
was truly an amazing feeling to be standing
next to one of the most magnificent cat, the
Cheetah. I was really luck with the Cheetah
simply lazing next to the glass panel of the
huge enclosure, and I was able to take some
great close-up shots with my camera. |

I
can see you...
Would you like to see into the eyes of the
four meters long crocodile? There you have
it, a nice stare from the huge prehistoric
looking reptile. Fortunately there’s
a thick glass to see them up close, I would
not want to get too close to that skilled
hunter. |

Let
me pose for you
The
much pampered white tigers of the zoo, probably
the stars of the zoo, constantly having visitors
wanting to say hello to and to take photos.
Bathing in the sun, on a nice big rock, just
like a celebrity and occasionally looking
up to smile at the camera. Simply can't have
enough of all that glamour, what a beautiful
cat! |
