Beautiful orchids after the rain.

Singapore Mandai Zoo - Flowers

I have a hard time posting these photos, need to do homework to find out the names of the flowers...lol. Mable's blog help me a lot in identifying some of the flowers.

Canna flower

Heliconia

Heliconia (Bird of Paradise)

Not sure what flower is the above. It looked so cute and pretty. Will try to find out the name of the flower.

Powder puff flowers

Anthurium Flower

Thunbergia ( I think this is the name of the flower)

Clerodendrum paniculatum (pagoda flower) - hahaha got the name of the flower from Mable's Blog.

Alpinia purpurata

Hope I did not get the names of the flowers wrong.

Mable, if you are reading this post, thank you for your blog, I now treated your blog as my flower guide book. :)

Singapore Mandai Zoo - Rafflesia

Going through my files in my computer, I realised I still have some photos from my visit to Singapore Zoo that I have not posted in my blog.

We were visiting the "Fragile Forest" in Singapore Mandai Zoo and we came across this huge flower called the Rafflesia. I am not sure if it is real or fake. But am very sure it is not a sculpture. We dare not touch the flower cause it could be the real flower. Even my son could not tell the difference...lol. I wonder anyone could give me the answer if the Rafflesia in the Zoo is real or fake. Would be nice if it is real. You can view my previous post on the fragile forest.

You can read more about Rafflesia from Wikipedia

Singapore Zoo - Snakes

Yikes - am so afriad of snake.

But this green snake really attracted me.

No way I am going near this python.

Yikes..look at the snake's tongue....I already feeling so ticklish...lol.

Singapore Zoo - More animals

There are so many animals in the zoo that I am too tired to take photos of them all...lol. The lion's enclosure is a favourite with the visitors.

I guess Rhino must have a fight, it had a wound on its body.

I wondered how the Giraffe sleep.

Skywatch Friday - Singapore zoo - Fragile Forest

This is fragile forest in the Singapore Zoo. What I like best about the fragile forest was that we were up so close to these animals.

Not sure what you called this bird but it was just beside us and apparently the bird was trying to built a nest and it was collecting some dead leaf. Very interesting to see the bird so close to us.

A short video showing the bird.


A flying fox just right in front of us eating some fruits.

There were many flying foxes around us and many beautiful and different types of birds flying around us. I felt like we are in an enchanted forest. Very beautiful.

Singapore Zoo - Lizards

The komodo dragon is curious about us just like we are about it.

Monitor lizards

Singapore Zoo - Giant Tortoise

Close up view of the Giant Tortoise and they are real huge.

Sculpture of the giant tortoise

My World Tuesday - Singapore Zoo - Cheetah

Still posting about my visit to the Singapore Zoo. Son and me had a great time at the zoo. We visited the Cheetah's enclosure.

One part of the enclosure has a glass separated the cheetah from us.
This is so funny and scary. We did not know that the Cheetah could see us through the glass same way as we see it.

My son was trying to take a good picture of the cheetah, so he was moving forward and backward and the cheetah apparently saw my son and it bared its sharp teeth....yikes!

I guess we looked like food to the cheetah...lol.

A short video showing the action of the cheetah. I certainly do not want to be its prey.

Singapore Zoo - Babirusa

The babirusas only know how to eat and sleep...hahaha.

As soon as the zookeeper left some food in the enclosure and reopen the gate for them to re-enter, they rushed for the food...lol. What a funny sight.

The voices in the video belong to some tourists near me.

Singapore Mandai Zoo

White faced Saki Monkey

Mandrill - They looked so fierce.

There are so many different types of monkeys but I did not take much photos of them caused they are so active and jumping from trees to trees.
