Singapore's Wildlife
Four objects at once - ZOO, RIVER SAFARI, NIGHT SAFARI, JURONG BIRD PARK are united by a common owner and have a lot in common (for example, the ability to buy one ticket for everything and save a little in this way).
ZOO and JURONG BIRD PARK remain in my memory as beautiful landscape parks, not only depicting the jungle, but also very densely populated with tropical animals. All the inhabitants have a beautiful and well-fed appearance))). The peculiarity of these parks is that the number of cages is minimized - everything is like in nature, the means of protection from animals are passive (moats with water, for example), or you look through the glass. Many harmless birds and animals simply climb underfoot. Everything is very thought out, to the smallest detail, clean and cultural.
You can visit all kinds of shows. In the Bird Park - of course, there the birds fly right over their heads - very interesting. In the Zoo, the animal cannot fly, from this it somehow immediately becomes noticeable that the performance is very unassuming.
But during the show there is an opportunity to relax on a bench - also a plus. Before visiting, I highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the schedule of shows and feeding of animals and plan your route accordingly - the reward for refusing such spontaneity, which is so dear to many, will be a sea of u200bu200bpleasures and impressions. For example, we went through a monkey house and did not understand what it was at all. We looked at the map in 10 minutes - oops! Yes, now there is feeding - they returned and saw a lot of monkeys.
In terms of time, each of ZOO and JURONG BIRD PARK needs an hour and a half - this is if the topic is completely indifferent to you - just to get around everything. If you are at least a little indifferent to nature, then you will be happy to spend 3-5 hours in each of these objects.
RIVER SAFARI is also like a zoo, only for river animals. Good too. You can get around everything in an hour.
NIGHT SAFARI - in principle, the same as the Zoo, only at night, there is a slight backlight (like a very moonlit night).
And although half of the animals are present in the daytime display, and many of the rest are eaten during the day in other zoos, there are still interesting specimens (sloths, bats, etc. ). In addition, a walk through the night jungle has its own special charm.
Practical advice. When we entered, the queue for their "tram" was very long. But we did the right thing, that we went along the hiking trails, and then, when the line dissipated, we drove. I note that from this tram you can see a lot of things that are inaccessible to pedestrians.
The whole Night Safari took us 2 hours - this is the minimum. If I had not been dragged by the hand from many places, it would have been three hours, probably.
At the exit from the Zoo, I caught myself thinking that I had never been to such establishments abroad! But since, in Singapore, the choice of attractions that interest me is very limited, then ...
It is impossible to list all types of birds and animals, in the photo some are those that posed well)))).
