My Gosh –They’re Animals!


Brian was a little confused when he got the Uber receipt mdday saying that there had been a 17km Uber ride.  How do you go 17km from our condo in Singapore and still be in the country?  Turns out that Julie and Christopher had a fun day seeing pandas, squirrel monkeys, alligators, piranhas, river otters, manatees and lots more the River Safari. 

The River Safarai is one of 4 zoos in Singapore.  The Night Safari (one of our favorite places to visit), the Jurong Bird Park, and The Singapore Zoo.  Perhaps we will visit all of them while living here.

There are  a pair of male and female giant pandas – Kai Kai (凯凯) and Jia Jia (嘉嘉)– which are housed in a specially constructed climate-controlled enclosure which change throughout the four seasons (this is Singapore—what else would you expect?.  The zoo grows its own 8,000-m2 plantation of special bamboo specially for the feeding of the giant pandas.
