We're going to the Zoo Zoo Zoo...

As Little Lucas is able to pronounce names of a few animals, we decided that it's time for us to bring him to the Zoo.

The weather was fine and good. The crowd was lesser than expected since it's a weekday but there are lots of school children, given that exams are now over, it's no surprise to see so many kids there.

Just when we were purchasing our tickets, the staff told us that the exhibit for Giraffe and White Rhinoceros is closed for maintenance. 1 of the boat deck is also closed for renovation meaning the boat ride will only be half of the original journey.

Of course we have to proceed as usual since we were already there but a pity that we can't see giraffe and rino.

As we reached quite early, so our whole itinerary was quite well covered.

We caught the big polar bear having fun in the water.. She is so huge measuring 3m in height and about 1 ton in weight.




See how tiny Little Lucas is.. (he refused to stand still and pose for me... )

As Little Lucas is a do-not-hold-my-hand-and-let me-run-on-my-own-without-any sense of direction boy so we took the tram for most part of the journey and it was a breeze moving around the zoo.



This is the only photo that he smile & pose as there was a foreigner teasing him.

We caught 2 animal shows, Splash Safari featuring the marine animals such as jackass penguins, Californian sea lion, Caribbean manatees and the pelicans.



The other show was Elephant at Work & Play, showing us how do these intelligent big giants move around, work & play in their daily life.



But Little Lucas was least interested in them. His attention span was rather short and instead of watching the performance put up by the animals, he was looking at the audience. Maybe the animals were too far away from him.

We also stop by kidzworld for our lunch and brought Little Lucas to look at pony and goats. Gosh, they are so smelly.. faeces all around....




I think Little Lucas enjoyed most when we let him run freely. He was laughing and running all around. I bet he must had wished for the animals to be on the ground so that he can touch them. He was squeaking in excitement when he saw 2 monkeys running freely on the fences.

Our final stop was at the White Tiger. I thought they would be sleeping but surprising they were very wide awake (maybe because it's their feeding time soon..) and was posing so nicely for the tourists to take photos of them.
