ZOO ZOO ZOO!

aww, today seemed to be taking cab day.
morning, i went out late and was almost late meeting someone so i have to cab to tpy.
then, after that met jaclyn & we decided to cab to zoo.
&& last of all i cab back home with jaclyn..
total money spent on cab: $4.90 + $12.50+$16.50.. omg man!
jaclyn & i on the cab, on the way to zoo!




when we reached mandai zoo,we bought our tickets which costed $16.50 each.
its so horribly expensive!

we went in, &saw this photography area with parrots to take photo with. at first we thought it was for free, but the zookeepers told us its actually not. donating $5 for the animals in the zoo will allow us to take as much photo as possible with the parrot on the stick.

okays, that's fine, cause its for a good cause. and i so totally love animals. i wanted to take with jaclyn, and they told me, 2 people=$10. so we spent $10 on 4 ugly photos.. -.-" the zookeeper's photography skill sucks totally! omg! what a waste of money..


we walked down further & saw this dragon wall thingy. i have no idea what it's for. but since jaclyn wanted to take photo with it. i took one too. [:


and here's the first actual animal that we saw on the tree!


& next, otters. we couldnt find it at first. until we spotted it lying flat up there sleeping..
its so adorable right! jaclyn & i both agreed that it sleeps just like our baby dog!


we saw gibbons, some kind of monkey & they keep making hoot hoot sound. its super loud & damn hilarous luh! jaclyn started to make that sound too.. we video-ed the monkeys too. but i do not have the video with me.. ]:

& here's the polar bears! we watched the feeding show. it was really interested. the polar bears actually could perform when commanded to! & the zookeeper told us that in order to show us the polarbears' hunting skill, they shall throw a live fish in. i was so excited! but then guess what they threw in?! they threw in a bloody small fish luh! its smaller then my palm. please! my height's like less than the polar bear's by half, & the fish is like 100 times smaller then me? lols how is the polar bear's hunting skill being demostrate then? its chicken feet for the polar man! i was like huh?! like that? the polar bear only took 1 sec before it gobbled the fish up. -.- i barely sees anything..

the polar's clapping and waving enthusiatically!




& here's the fish i suggested they should throw in.. it almost has the same length as me.. at least we can see how polar hunts right? but anyway, overall the shows really good. [:

look at our height difference!

we saw restroom & changing room after that. so went in & this is what happened:

we continued our journey. & we saw these orangutan directly on top of us..

&also a feeding show of rhino! the zookeeper was feeding directly, no throwing of food! & why is rhino said to be dangerous? it appears to be so tame!

some reptile: the ancient looking turtle, the green snake that lies in slumber so beautifully & the glaring turtle hatchling[it was glaring at us the whole time we were looking at it]






& the enclosure where the animals run freely. the two monkeys there were smaller then my palm and they were really adorable! when i started to take some peanuts from my plastic bag, wanting to feed them, they rushed at me! omg i was so freaked out that i almost ran for my life! but after that i realised they are quite harmless! i even managed enough courage to touch their tail!


when i was about to go, i saw this!

although i know very well that i am not allow to feed the animals, i didnt realise that the sign was actually just right beside me! lols. we continued to feed them a few peanuts anyway.




the tiny monkey's really cute, although the photo's not.



here's chimpanzee! mummy, korkor & baby!

croc's eggs!


i forgot what its called... i think its some kind of wild cat.
not a leopard tho..

our legs were like heavy lead after walking for so so so long, so we decided to seat down..
we went to the toilet after that, the toilet was fantastic!
continued walking, saw some tiny deers, an anteater with its super long genitals [its a male], boar?! , & WHITE TIGER!


The white tiger supposed to be lying on the rock behind me, but i think the light sought of reflect off and its just white patch there instead of tigers...

two very very romantic boar lying together..



& kangeroos! whoo, the enclosure for kangeroos had been improved so much! i rmb long ago when i went there, its smell of shit everywhere & its dirty like hell.. now its wonderfully clean and the place looked really attractive. there's even a large area where you are allowed to take photo with the kangeroos and feed it. but again $5! i think this is so much worth it compared to parrots. if i did not spend my money on parrots, i would have fed and taken photos with kangeroos! ]: hell!

we realised that these brown kangeroos have pendulum like erm, balls.. lols!
here's an elephant. i have no idea what it is doing..


after the entire day, we were stinking like pigs, super exhuasted. but it was really fun. [: i didnt manage to get a ride on a elephant, nor take photo with the chimpanzee tho..]:
