Singapore Zoo


Yesterday we ventured to the Singapore ZOO. As you can tell by the pictures, the elephant was a big piece of our experience. Miriam enjoyed the penguins, the zebras and the polar bears. Elaine enjoyed the elephants--her favorite animal. She is quite the daredevil and helped feed the elephants, pet the kangaroos, wanted to pet the snakes, and even wanted to play with the monkies. My favorite animal was the white tiger.


In coming to Singapore, Emily really wanted to ride an elephant and we thought we would need to go to another country to do so; however, we were delighted to find out the zoo had a short elephant ride. Miriam did not want to ride; however, after standing in line for about 15 minutes she decided it was ok for her to ride. I had a runny nose and there was a sign asking 'me' not to ride.

Only 1 in 10,000 tiger is white. We almost did not get to see them as it had been raining and the waters were high in the morning; however, by the afternoon they were out.
