Today we are going to go to the Botanic Gardens. We are going to go see the Orchid Garden which is rated as the 2nd thing you should see in Singapore. This afternoon we are going to go to Gardens by the Bay which we saw from Marina Bay yesterday. Last night we went to Night Safari. We saw lots of animals on the four walks we did including a leopard and a Malayan tiger which were sitting just behind the glass. When we got up to leave the tiger it lifted its head as if saying goodbye. On the tram ride we saw a little baby elephant who was born in May this year and isn’t named yet.
Where was the night safari? Was the baby elephant still being looked after by its parents? How long do elephants display parental care?
Night safari was next to Singapore Zoo north of where we are staying. The baby elephant was with his mum and she was cuddling her with her trunk! The mum was pregnant for 19 months and will look after her for a few years xx
Sid you get a photo of the elephants cuddling?
Sadly, no, Estelle! There was no flash photography allowed so that the animals normal nocturnal (great word!) behaviour wouldn’t be affected….
