Let's go to the zoo, there's a lot of things to do...

I went to the zoo!!! Melaka zoo for your information... the one which Chao still does not want to go and Chanlie flat out refuses to go... Mean people...

Anyways... I went to the zoo!!! With Ray Mun and my 'twin', Jia Shin (those who actually know my name in mandarin would know why she's my twin). Somehow, even though I am a bit obsessive (though Yeow would say I'm utterly obsessive, same difference really) over the zoo trip, I, myself, was pretty amazed that we ended up spending a total of five and a half hours in the zoo... Wow, I say.



I did see Nikki, the tiger that was almost eaten. She pretty grown up... see pix on the left. Not a good capture of her... she's too agitated to stay still. I managed to capture a tiger showing off its fangs too. Melaka zoo probably has the most tigers in whole of Malaysia...














Lots of birds as well... as colourful as you can imagine. Cute owls bopping their heads with squint-y eyes, large impressive vulture (vulture as in vulture, there's only one vulture there), the normal collections of pretty flighty birds, parrots, macaws and cockatoo, eagles and hawks, all sort of cranes, and those fanciful birds that have flowers on their heads (no idea what are their names, not too interested).
































































Then they have the safari... a mini-safari they called it. Open pastures for the safari animals (read: herbivores) to run around. The most amazing thing happened here. As we turned the corner of the walking platform, the giraffes got spooked or something, and were running. That was the most amazing sight I have ever seen! Those giraffes run like they were flying! They honestly gives that impression. It was stunning... stunning enough that none of us actually remember to capture a video of that. We were too mesmerized... Hahaha...

Deers... whatever sub-species of deers you can think of, they have it... I think I had enough of deers by the time I was halfway through the zoo... Do they actually need that many deers? They mostly look the same too.


























And a zoo is never complete without a couple of monkeys. Plenty of those critters jumping around like mad in their cages and what not. Some were even running all over the zoo, into other animals' cages and eating their food. There's even a slow loris... not slow enough though...














And a few other animals... I'm lazy to do any more commentary...


























And that's my zoo trip!! Pretty random I know, but it's fun... I have a lot more other pictures... but I don't think I should put all of them here.

Eugene, if you mention anything about the quality of pictures here, I'll string you up somewhere when I come down M'cca this weekend.

Chao, let's go Taiping night zoo!!
