You might by all means think that I am being a braggart but it is true that the there is the largest man-made waterfall. There are amazing number of birds flying, drinking, and stuff! There are also an amazing number of lorries(parrots) which we can feed with water and food. There is even a place that is something like a kampong. It is among the three most interesting places to go when in Singapore. There are also the well-loved mascots which perform with real birds. There are also shows staring the (real one of course) birds with the trainers at the amphitheater. There are also many waterfalls. Queen Elizabeth II even visited the Waterfall Aviary shortly after the opening of the Bird Park. Oh my, I can't stand all the birds anymore, there are so many interesting things here and I can't even finish exploring it in a day. Ahhh! There's also a souvenirs shop. I also went there twice or thrice or so and I went to see the lorries and went near them but I was so scared they shit on me. It was lucky they did not. There are also some dark places which are supposed to be dark so please do not bring a torchlight and shine it around! I liked the penguins the most. They were making sounds and swimming so fast. I also did not finish looking at all the things. I think there's a Bird's Eye Tour...And...and... ... |
| The Singapore Zoological Gardens(locally known as Mandai Zoo):
Has many Amazing Scenes!

It was very tragic when Ah Meng died. He died with a healthy and strong body with old age.She was already 48 years old when she died. Even I was surprised that she died. Many Singaporeans were sad as it was like already born before themselves. The zoological gardens even made a statue to remember her. There is also Inuka and Sheiba who were and are still stars as Inuka was the first male polar bear to be born in the tropics and also the first pair of polar bears to come here. I also loved the feeding time when I was younger and would ask my parents along with my brother to bring me there. Not only could we see the furry polar bear in action waving and trying to catch food but could also listen to the keeper explaining how the polar bears actually live in such a hot climate??? The answers lies in having a large, 3.5-metre deep pool to allow the polar bears to cool off, an air-conditioned den and a separate cubbing den for rearing cubs. They are on the brink of extinction(endangered) in the north pole so it is loved and cared by everyone as how could such a cute thing get extinct...They also have many other animals including the endangered white tigers, elephants, snakes, baboons, monkeys, penguins, giraffes, rabbits, tigers, deers, butterflies, pigs... |
