Singapore Zoological Gardens
The Singapore Zoo has been thoughtfully created to simulate the
natural habitats of its resident animals. Eight zones recreate the
geographic regions of the animals indigenous to it and include the
South East Asian rainforest, African savannah, Nepalese river
valley, Burmese jungle and South American pampas. These vistas can
also be explored after daytime during the famous Night Safari,
billed as the first of its kind. The zoo can be explored along its
meandering walking trails or from the comfort of a tram that winds
its way along a circular route. It is home to more than 2,000
animals representing over 240 species, the highlights of which
include the Komodo dragons, polar bears and primate kingdom. Animal
shows are held daily, and children can enjoy camel rides or share
food with an orang-utan in the zoo's Children's World section. A
Guide to the Zoo is available on arrival with details of feeding
times and other activities. It includes a map and suggested
itineraries incorporating the major shows and attractions.
