September 2012

Madam Malhotra and I managed the impossible - we did the touristy -photo-posing bit - successfully -YET AGAIN. Some pictures of our famous excursion at the Singapore Zoo. This was to make up for any  misses during the night safari attempted in 2010!!

Logs?? Nah these are alligators

Famous Proboscis Monkeys

Contemplating - to tug the tail or not to....

PS. We had mistakenly assumed these monkeys to be carved out of wood for they were so still & for the longest time too (as you know anything can happen in Singapore) when all of a sudden these lazybones decided to move!!Hmph!!



The Longest Yard



The otters section to our delight was next. The peppy little ones kept us long occupied with their antics.

As luck would have it, we had landed up at feeding time so we ended up seeing the animals at their most active. Someone does watch over intrepid explorers ;-) The two white tigers were resplendent in their glory and watching their feeding session was an eye opener. I still can't get over the size & the roar of the rare white tiger.....gave puny montax the ole shiver-me -timbers.

The hot sun (and not rain this time) ensured we took the famous buggy ride round and round the zoo. After a slight spell of laziness we did get down and wandered in to the reptile section and got our first glimpse of the famous & aptly named Komodo Dragons.

The visit was cut short as I had to race to Changi to catch my flight back. Despite my firm I -will-not-but anything, I did end up buying the now famous "Yoga Guru" who currently keeps AT company during Yoga.
