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.

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.

Please visit "That's my World" for other parts of the world.

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.
