Night Safari

We recently visited the Singapore Night Safari which is similar to the Wild Animal Park in California.  The fun part about the Night Safari is that it does not open until 7 p.m. so everything is dark and more jungle-like.  You can tour along walking paths or ride on the trams to get up close and personal with the animals.  The only bad thing about a night safari is dark, blurry photos.  The pictures from the Night Safari official website are way better than ours, as you can see.

We saw huge elephants roaming the lush surroundings with baby by their side.

We saw tapirs, which looked like they fell into a bucket of gray paint.

The only thing between the leopard's head and ours, was a thick sheet of plexiglass.

Another great exhibit was the fruit bats.  We have never been that close to free-flying bats.  They were virtually silent when they flew by except for the little clicks they made as they zoomed past our heads.

The Night Safari was a fabulous nighttime adventure, and we saw many animals we wouldn't normally see at a daytime zoo.  But maybe it's about time we consider getting a better camera.
