Chapter 266: Singapore Zoo
Xiao Zhao took Zhou Sen to visit Chinatown, Singapore, and took Zhou Sen to the Singapore Zoo on the fourth day.
"I brought you to visit the Singapore Zoo, not only because there are animals here and visitors can appreciate the animals, but also because the Singapore Zoo is working hard to transform into a knowledge-based zoo, but through more interactive programs to learn about animals and strengthen the awareness of wildlife conservation," said Xiao Zhao. ”
Located on Wanlihu Road in the north of Singapore, the Singapore Zoo is designed with an open concept that uses natural barriers such as tropical forests and lakes instead of fences, so that visitors can see clearly without the fence of iron cages and iron pillars, and all kinds of animals can live freely and peacefully with visitors in a comfortable environment without artificial barriers.
Speaking of wild animals, Zhou Sen is still a little afraid, after all, these wild animals are wild, there are no iron cages and iron pillars, wild animals can move within the specified range, humans can watch at close range, and they also need to pay attention to safety, which is especially important.
Singapore Zoo is one of the top 10 zoos in the world, and there are many types of animals, and the mini steam train will take visitors to the "Primordial Kingdom", "Antarctic Paradise" and the entire zoo.
Many species of animals from all over the world on display in the park belong to rare birds, such as Malayan tapirs, proboscis monkeys, otters, parrots, small black monkeys, and black panthers from Southeast Asia, and lions, rhinoceros, hippos, carp, and antelopes from East Africa.
Xiao Zhao said: "During the holidays, our Chinese in Singapore like to take their children to the zoo to watch the animals, these animals are carefully taken care of by the zoo keepers, they are all healthy, very energetic, the children especially like these animals, although after human breeding, less wild animals, but still can see some of their living habits up close." ”
Zhou Sen avoided tigers and lions, he suggested to see some safer animals, Xiao Zhao also nodded in agreement, and soon monkeys and apes attracted their attention, including colobus monkeys, macaques, red monkeys, solitary monkeys, white-handed gibbons, etc., small rivers separated the islands, the banks were green grass, wild flowers were blooming, trees were towering, and waterfalls hung on rocks.
"It's really good here, and the natural environment is still very well protected!" Zhou Sen praised.
Orangutans are perhaps the zoo's most beloved residents, and visitors can get up close and personal with these legendary apes, and the elevated boardwalk allows visitors to get up close and personal with the orangutans roaming around the treetops.
Zhou Sen said: "It's the first time I've seen an orangutan, I've seen all brown orangutans before, and it's the first time I've seen them, and I still think they're cute when they look cute!"
Xiao Zhao nodded, "Yes, Nepalese rhinos, elephants, giraffes, shy and attention-grabbing musk deer, and lazy slow loris, there are still many types of animals in Singapore Zoo, basically every animal you can think of, and animals in Southeast Asia are particularly common." ”
Let Asia's colourful exoticism strike the senses as Asian elephants have influenced Asian lifestyles more than any other animal since they were domesticated 4,000 years ago.
Revered as an elephant god in Hinduism and sacred in Buddhism, elephants were domesticated as servants in the logging industry and play an important role in the lives of thousands of Asians to this day.
Xiao Zhao said: "Elephants are more common in Africa, India, Southeast Asian countries, but the breeds are different, African elephants have the characteristics of African elephants, we are Asian elephants here, Asian elephants are also very large, after training, Asian elephants are also very director, can help the owner to do some things, do some work, or very popular with people." ”
Zhou Sen nodded, "I have seen elephants in Thailand and Singapore, and I have also sat on elephants in Cambodia! This experience is still very good, I am in China, I rarely see elephants, there are elephants in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, there are elephant herds and elephant teams, can help people do things, it is still very good, transportation is sometimes rugged mountain roads, vehicles are not easy to transport, use elephant team transportation." ”
"Yes, animals are good friends of our humans, and some docile, non-aggressive animals can be good helpers for us humans!"
"In Southeast Asian countries, you can often see elephants transporting things for humans, and you can see elephants in Singapore, where the climate is very suitable for elephants to survive, and tourists love elephants. ”
The arthropat monkeys are particularly fascinating, and if you look closely, you will find that they resemble gorillas, only in tiny, spotted mole deer, these shy mysterious animals are native to Sri Lanka and India, and it is a little difficult to see them, small, elegant ocelots,
Busy gophers, these small animals are active by nature, moving around, foraging, and busy.
Zhou Sen is not familiar with these animals, and they are rarely seen in domestic zoos, which aroused his interest, and he also stopped, and will watch carefully, and the cameraman Liu Dazhuang took it with a lens.
"It's very interesting, these little animals, each has its own differences, and the Singapore Zoo is really doing a good job, there are so many animal breeds!"
Singapore Zoo's world-renowned 'Open Concept' offers the opportunity to immerse oneself in a colourful world of flora and fauna, experience the wonders of nature, be inspired and inspired, and let the animals live freely in a spacious environment that mimics their natural ecology.
The Singapore Zoo has gradually transformed from an ornamental zoo to a learning zoo, with interactive educational content that enhances the physical environment of the animals through the design of the exhibit and the captive facilities, food and feeding methods, as well as toys and training sessions.
These factors also allow wild animals to selectively control their captive environment, thereby improving their health and welfare.
Xiao Zhao said: "Coming here to watch the animals is also the zoo in order to let more people know how to protect animals, humans and animals live in harmony, protect the environment, and let these lovely animals have a beautiful home and living environment, which is what we humans have to think about!"
"Education is an important tool for wildlife conservation, as it speaks volumes about the plight of endangered animals. ”
"Human deforestation has caused wild animals to lose their homes, leaving many extinct animals homeless, destroying the natural environment, and having bad consequences over time, and over time, human beings have become more and more aware of the importance of protecting animals and the natural environment!"
"We have only one earth, we have a common mission, we want to work together to protect the earth, protect our home, so that human beings and these lovely animals can live happily on the earth, this is our common wish!"
