Today I went to the Singapore Zoo. You've seen one zoo, you've seen em all, right? Wrong! This was a beautiful zoo set in a lush rainforest, specialising in mostly Asian animals. I took so many photos, but have decided only to upload a handful as there is a good hundred or so!!

I met a lovely couple, Nick & Sharon from Essex, England and we tagged along together - the 2 poms and the aussie being crass and loud and paying out the yankees!!

Hope you enjoy my pics!

Malacca Tour - ironic that only 4 old Greeks were sitting on this bus?

The signs to the different enclosures

I stood next to an Orangutan

And touched the snake. It was pretty smooth and soft and warm (minds out of the gutters, please!)

A deermouse. It actually looked nothing like a deer or a mouse!

Squirrels!

Kitty! I can't remember what the actual name was, so if anyone knows, please tell me!

Lion and 2 lionesses (there were 3)

The giraffes

Zebra butts

Rhinos

Polar bears

These were new and strange animals to me. Supposedly they come from this strange little island called "Australia" and are based off a TV show called Skippy the Bush Kangaroo.
