Singapore Zoo Tree Walk
Singapore Zoo is a world class zoo situated in the north of Singapore. This tree walk is fairly close to the entrance to the zoo and allows you to walk among the tops of the trees and look down at some of the alligators in the water below.
The Singapore Zoo is well known not only for the fantastic collection of animals in the Zoo, but also for the Singapore Night Safari, which allows visitors to watch nocturnal behaviour of some of the animals.
Personally, I enjoyed the walk a lot, where you can not only watch the many different birds and monkeys jumping from tree to tree, but also the Alligators right below your feet swimming through the shallow water.
Have fun!

Zoo has a white baby rhino
IT'S a girl!
A white rhino baby is a new addition recently to the Singapore Zoo.
The sixth calf was born to mum Shova on July 2 weighing about 60 kg.
The gestation period of a white rhino is 16 months. Shova has now given birth to four males and two females.
Four of these calves have been exported to Zoos and Safari Parks in Australia, Indonesia and Thailand but this latest female will remain at the zoo.
She will go on show in a few weeks time.
The white rhino is the largest of the species. It can weigh up to 3,600 kg and reach a height of 1.85m.
It can be found in Africa but is threatened by poachers after its horns.
