Did I go to the Bird Park by accident?
No, these parrots are semi-mascots of the Zoo. |
 |
Very good directions.
I met an ex-colleague and her husband here. It turned out her daughter likes the Zoo, so they are regular visitors. |
 |
Weekends are to rest. |
 |
Unless you are on OT.
These elephants pooped in front of the audience. I can't decide if that is part of the show. |
 |
The Zoo's ex-mascot. I think I saw her the last time I was here.
Yes, it was a long time ago... when police still wear shorts... |
 |
Strange thing to find in a zoo. I suspect this is the remnants of a park. They kept a few of the pavilions too. |
 |
There are many ways to move around, although walking can get you everywhere.
This is unlike the Night Safari, where you need to take the tram to see 60% of the animals. |
 |
They grow plants and flowers in the zoo too! Interestingly, they seemed to be grown somewhat casually — no green house. |
 |
Pale orchids fascinate me. They have a strange sort of glow and I can't help staring at them. |
 |
What are they looking at? |
 |
This, or something else? Or perhaps even someone else? |
 |
It's not wildlife without the "big guns". I think it's a 300 mm f/2.8 lens. |
 |
This is the best I can do with my "114 mm" lens. A 300mm lens will just be 1/3 the length along each axis. |
 |
The third show for the day. (We missed the first because it was before we reached the Zoo.) |
 |
Just look at the crowd. Strangely, you don't find a trace of them after the show. (The Zoo doesn't feel crowded at all.) |
 |
Turtles are slow, but they are extremely long-lived. There is an hypothesis
that they live forever.
And with this, we ended our slow tour of the Zoo too. |
