Mrupupup was invited a blogger's preview of the latest art work at the Night Safari Singapore. Night Safari’s Art Seen & Herd! exhibition was officially unveiled to the public, in celebration of World Environment Day 2013. Visitors to Night Safari were treated to a visual bonanza as four of Singapore’s street artists unleashed wild artworks inspired by threatened animals to spread awareness about poaching and the dwindling wildlife population.   All photos & opportunity to photograph the event are to be credited to Wildlife Reserves Singapore. Thanks to Wildlife Reserves Singapore for the invite!  The four artists - Michael Ng (‘Mindflyer’), Samantha Lo (‘SKL0’), Luthfi Mustafah (‘The Killer Gerbil’) and Eman Jeman (‘ClogTwo’) - also shared the inspiration and ideas behind their works, as well as the conservation messages that they hope to convey to visitors. Animals featured in the exhibition are often hunted and farmed to feed continuing consumer demand for anima

Singapore Zoo is the only attraction that is worth the visit in Singapore. The Night Safari which is next to the Singapore Zoo and opens only at night, is also a great place to visit .Check out photos below and one can see the animals up close. Photos of the cheetah and baboons for your viewing. Love the zoo and visited the place many times! Singapore Zoo is world class!

Mrupupup was invited to attend an event by Brady Barr the National Geographic TV host of the 'Wild Encounters'cable programme in Singapore Zoo. Mr Brady Barr was an interesting TV Host and loved listening to his stories of how he would capture crocodiles and snakes in all parts of the world. He also told us stories of his inventions like wearing a crocodile suit to get as close as possible to the crocodiles in Africa. The talk was fascinating and the Singapore Zoo brought out a crocodile and a large python to show off Brady Barr's handling skills with these dangerous creatures. Very good talk! Was fun!

Tried out the boat ride in the Singapore Zoo recently. The boat glides slowly in the Seletar Reservoir which is next to the zoo. Really enjoyed the peaceful boat ride. The boat ride was cooling and was a respite from the hot day at the Singapore Zoo. Boat ride costs about $5 per person - unlimited rides for the whole day. omar - the boat boat ride  chimp working for food at the log animal show love the facial features balancing act - striped black and white child on the boat  mousedeer Proboscis Monkey Colourful reptiles/lizards

Was invited to attend the birthday celebrations of Singapore Night Safari's One Year baby Asian Elephant name Nila Utama. The baby asian elephant was super cute! We enjoyed the birthday celebrations with the zoo providing us with special Nila Utama birthday cake, tea set with nice finger food and wonder tram ride around the night safari in their special gourmet tram. Super cool experience. Totally fun for adults and kids too! Singapore and Night Safari are world class attractions in Singapore. Nila Utama had a nice birthday cake made with carrots, fruits and vegetables! Do take your time to visit the Night Safari and say 'hi' to Nila Utama the baby Asian Elephant!
