Singapore Zoo


TAPIR
It's related to a rhino and another common animal. Can you guess what it is?



















Which way next?





















Black  monkey relaxing in a tree.



The Singaporeans call this Sungei Buaya






 Fancy a swim with these otters?
We all went for a roll in the mud. Not just these wart hogs



White Tigers - there are no white tigers in the wild.
Pygmy Hippo swimming with some little fish
 
Baboons - did they sit in something red?

We watched them grooming each other.



Elephants can walk on their toes and balance on a pole like a ballerina.


Orangutan - it means man of the forest.

This one nearly pooped on a mans head. It was very funny!
Water park at the zoo. Can you spot me?
Can you spot the grumpy chimpanzee?
Komodo dragon  is the largest lizard in the world growing up to 3 metres long.

Giant Tortoise

The oldest one was 152 years old.  How many decades is that?
Sun bears are small but can be very fierce and fight tigers and pythons.

White rhinoceros - second largest land mammal.  Do you know what the biggest and smallest is?
Meerkat - my brother looks a bit like one!  This one is on Sentry Duty - it nearly got pooped on by a pelican!
Lions - 30% cubs get killed when they're born.
Giraffes - other than their necks what else do giraffes have the longest of? (and it's not their legs)
Zebras - do they have a white body and black stripes or a black body and white stripes?
Inuka the Polar Bear - They can live in 35 degree heat
Wolverine - fancy meeting one?

Their teeth are so strong they can chew through frozen carcasses.
The body heat that is stored up inside the igloo keeps the person in there warm all night and they don't freeze to death.
Cheetah - fastest living animal on earth.
How do you tell the difference between a cheetah, jaguar and a leopard?  Think of doughnuts.

King Cobra - the worlds longest venomous snake

  2. Hey Skye - hoping you remember me ;) Love your blog. I saw a Tapir in the wild in Malaysia. We just looked at one another deciding who was going to run away first. I am still grateful that it did, because I thought it was a giant rat!! :p

  4. Skye, we love your blog, we would love to know the difference between all the giant cats?

    Zebras- white body with black stripes??

    Giraffes- tongue?

    Why is the giant tortoise wearing a hat??

    Shouldn’t you be calling them “Skye’s scrapers?”

    With your pull ups Skye- “PUT YOUR BACK IN TO IT!”

    Love from your friends in 4K

  5. The difference between the giant cats are the Jaguar has a doughnut with a spot in the middle,the Leopard has just a doughnut shape and the cheetah has just a spot.You are correct with the Zebra (well I thought so anyway).You are spot on with the tongue on a Giraffe. Hey are you talking about me as a tortoise and me wearing the hat.Ha ha very funny Skye's scrapers.Also I was putting my back in to it (hey who said that by the way) Check you later Skye
