Night Safari at the Singapore Zoo

It was another hot and humid evening in Singapore.  Our evening was beginning at the zoo.  This zoo was the first to introduce Night Safari Tours.  It houses over 2,500 animals representing over 130 species of which 38% are threatened species.

We boarded the tram with about 80 other passengers.  Our guide took us through the park to discover the various wildlife.  These animals are made visible by lighting that resembles moonlight.

As the tram took off, the first animal that we encountered was the Markhor.  Some were sleeping, where others were roaming.

In the distance, we could hear a laughing noise.  We were approaching the striped hyenas.  There was a pack of them roaming the area.

Everybody in the tram were excited and pictures were definitely being taken. You definitely need a night camera to take adequate photos of the animals.

Turning a bend, we could see a male lion sitting on top of a rock.  He was keeping watch over his territory.

Other animals that we saw in the wild were bears, elephants, rhinoceros and hippopotamus.

After we got off the tram, we took off on several trails to see the wallabies and even observed a hippopotamus being fed.

This is a tour that I would definitely do again!
