At The Zoo
Carly had a few days off for Chinese New Year, and we were supposed to head over to Hong Kong. Unfortunately, both of us got quite sick with mycoplasma (walking pneumonia), and it wasn't good for us to travel. So we took it easy and hung around Singapore instead, and enjoyed some time at the zoo.
The Singapore zoo is unlike any other zoo I've ever been to. The animals are so close, they don't tend to be fully caged, and it's possible to interact (even physically) with quite a number of the animals. The zoo puts a lot of trust into the visitor not to step on butterflies, or smacking the bats around.
The bats are one of the best parts of the zoo. They just hang here and eat, and relax, and fly. Nothing separates you from them, and they're about an arms reach away. This one has a little baby.
Yep, even polar bears. They have a special air-conditioned room for them that they keep around 16 degrees (if I recall the temperature correctly) 24/7.
Lots of different kinds of monkeys, this one is sleepy like me.
Carly also got some terrific shots of the crocodiles, which are truly unreal.
