Organised a trip to the Singapore Zoo with a few of my friends (Desmond, Caleb, Leo, Faith & Sheena) last Saturday because I wanted to see some penguins.
Seriously, I went to the Zoo with the only intention of seeing penguins. I’ve no interest in other animals and I’m not really an animal lover.
Anyway, it has been some time since I last wrote a decent post, so here goes!
First animal I met was the White-faced Saki Monkey which has a face that looks like my backside.
I took quite a handful of photos on that day but I won’t be posting them up here since I believe most of my readers are not animal lovers too. Even if you are, I don’t think you would be interested in pictures of tigers, zebras and stuffs.
However, I get fascinated with very ugly animals like the one above. I’ve no idea what this is but it’s one of the ugliest animal I’ve ever seen. It’s like a failed version of an ostrich and it has armpit hairs growing above it’s head.
There’s also the baboons and their ugly red bottoms. Even though they were pretty ugly (look at their face), we spent quite sometime observing them in their enclosure. We also learnt that the brighter and bigger their red bottoms are, the more charming they will be in the eyes of the other baboons.
Spotted this happy family sitting together and was touched by their family love -- the parents sitting together with their son. I got pretty disgusted later when I noticed all three of them are males. Freaking gay family.
Moving on, I saw two wild ugly humans sitting at the back of a truck and managed to take a snapshot with them since they were pretty tamed.
Some white Guinea pigs. But this will be nothing compared to the next photo.
Have you ever seen a green guinea pig before? It has got to be the biggest guinea pig I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Sorry, I know this is bad but I’m getting really bored while trying to finish this post so I’ve got to entertain myself.
Feeding the goats. Even though I’m not really an animal lover, I had a pretty fun time feeding them.
Okay, I also had a pretty fun time caressing them too. Okay, now the moment I’ve been waiting for.
Penguins! These are African Penguins and they have another name called the Jackass Penguins because of the sounds they make -- which resembles donkeys. Too bad the Zoo doesn’t have the Emperor Penguins.
Penguin gets the special treatment on my blog so here’s a video.
That’s about it, go to my Facebook if you want to see more photos of the trip.
Great trip with great people and a great time spent!
Accidentally came to your site…if want to see penguin, bird park is better…if u r not going to NZ or Australia soon…
Ah! Didn’t realise that our Bird Park actually have more variety of penguins – including the Emperor Penguins.
