Woohoo...I went to the Night Safari with my 2nd sis and Mum just now. It was so cool! In fact I felt that the map of Night Safari showed us more animals in it than in the Singapore Zoo and I spotted the giraffe in Night Safari! Haha...not that I like giraffes a lot...just that when I went to the S'pore Zoo on my bdae this yr with Drey and Wee, we were wondering how come there's no giraffe..and now I know the reason why =) Anyways..we wanted to take pictures BUT flash photography wasn't allowed and pitch dark was all that was seen on the LCD screen if no flash is used(coz it's night time) and so we all just kept the animals in our memories =D I shant speak of the tour as it would be a very long essay den..haha so I shall skip to the animal show! Lol...the show was awesome...there was this part of the show which was particularly great! Three small recycle bins which were attached together were brought out wif rubbish(metal cans, plastic bottles and cups) placed in front of it. The most interesting part was that otters came out and actually picked up the rubbish and threw them into the recycle bins! To be more exact, there were three otters in total. AND each of them would pick up a certain type of item each. For eg, one otter would first pick up a metal can and place it into one recycle bin and then return to the rubbish pile to pick up the next metal can and return to throw it into the same recycle bin. But all three otters picked up different kinds of rubbish. One picked the metal cans, another picked the plastic bottles and the last one picked up the cups. The most adorable part was that the otters were really small! Maybe just a lil bigger than kittens? Yea they are that small..lol..and one very funny part was that one of the otters just refused to release the metal can into the bin and kept on juggling with it. haha...the whole audience was tickled by that otter and was laughing non-stop...finally just when we thought it would release the can, it still didnt! It still held on to that very first can by its mouth and den went to pick up the second one by its hand and after some time it finally threw all the various cans into the bin..(FINALLY..) haha..and the trainers would then give the animals food as a reward after they had completed their tasks. Well...to sum it all up, it was a wonderful show I must say..Those who have not been to the Night Safari should really go there someday..and make sure u catch the animal show! ;) It's really something not to be missed! =)
