One of the world's most famous zoos, the Singapore Zoo opened its doors to the public in 1973. Today, the Singapore Zoo is home
to over 300 animal species. Some of the animals that are housed in the Singapore Zoo include jaguars, leopards, lions, pumas, Bengal white
tigers, caracals, elephants, orangutans, polar bears, Hamadryas baboons, Australian animals and reptiles.
The Singapore Zoo is visited by about 1.5 million people every year. Weekdays and non-holiday periods are the best times to
visit the Singapore Zoo as these are the times when the zoo is less crowded, making it much easier to view the animals.
The animals are housed in natural exhibits, which means that the Singapore Zoo has the animals enclosed in areas that resemble
their natural habitat as close as possible. The Singapore Zoo goes by he "open zoo" concept, which means that the animals have plenty of living
space. This way the animals' needs are catered too. Since the Singapore Zoo has several species of animals that are endangered, putting them in
open, natural environments help them become more comfortable, thereby allowing them to breed.
The Singapore Zoo is where you will find the world's biggest captive group of orangutans. The orangutans are the Singapore
Zoo's star attraction as they are constantly putting on a show to the delight of zoo visitors. Breakfast with an Orangutan is a program at the
Singapore Zoo that gives visitors a chance to get close to the orangutans. If you are interested in participating in the Singapore Zoo's
Breakfast with an Orangutan program, go to the information booth and inquire if there are spots available on the day of your zoo visit.
The Singapore Zoo is committed to the conservation of all species. In fact in 2004, it started the Wildlife Healthcare &
Research Centre whose primary function is to conduct research on conservation and engage in animal rescue efforts.
Frequent visitors to the Singapore Zoo can save a lot by getting a Friends of the Zoo pass. This zoo pass includes free entry
to the Singapore Zoo for one year, free zoo tram rides and parking, and a 10% discount on selected retail shops and subscription to the Wildlife
Wonders magazine.
