Night Safari

This is the coolest zoo I have ever seen. It is unique to Singapore and caters to nocturnal animals. What was really neat was that almost every animal was active. This included the hiennas, the badgers, the bears, the bats, and all the little tree swelling marsupials. One of the neatest exhibits was the giant flying squirrel exhibit. You go into a net surrounded enclosure with lots of branches, trees, and vegetation, and when you look up, there are these giant squirrels hanging out getting ready to fly. I think that we must have been quite lucky since we saw 3 decent jump and glides from the tallest branches to the bushes below. Everyone clapped for the creatures to encourage them and commend them on such a lovely flight.

Another good enclosure was going into the bat net. Here, you get to hang out with the largest bats in the world. You could reach over and grab them if you were brave enough. We saw a couple of these guys fighting for their fruit.
