Zoo (with Meal)

We've been wanting to visit the Singapore Zoo because it has an open concept, which means that some of the animals walk, fly, or climb all around without being caged.

Here are the orangutan enjoying some sugar cane while we dine next to them.  If my brother was here with me, he would have said that the baby orangutan (far background) looks like me when I was little.

It's feeding time for the giraffes.  And yes, they do have a long, purple tongue.

This jaguar is waiting for its breakfast.

Of course, no trip to the zoo is complete without participating in a show.
Here, I race against an orangutan to shuck a coconut.

With more experience, bigger teeth, and the strength
of  5 grown men, the orangutan wins.

At an exhibit called the Fragile Forest, we were face to face with this fruit bat.

This is a beautiful white tiger, whose relatives come from India.

We had a great day monkeying around at the zoo!
