THE ZOO ZOO ZOO!

It's been a while since we've done anything "touristy" but we took care of that this weekend by visiting THE SINGAPORE ZOO! Opened in 1973, this 28-hectare open-concept Rainforest-themed Zoo is home to some crazy cool animals. We saw Orangutans, White Rhinos, Cheetahs, Giraffes, Lions, Otters, Pumas, Komodo Dragons, Kangaroos, Elephants, Pygmy Hippos, Warthogs, Snakes, Polar Bears, Crocodiles, Zebras and a whole host of other awesome creatures. We went during a bit of a rainstorm and that only added to the adventurous feel, I commented that it felt like "Jurassic Park without the dinosaurs" but then I saw the big Komodo Dragon and the even bigger Crocodile and then it did feel like Jurassic Park, those things were huge. It was an awesome day and I can't wait to go back, the open concept idea of seeing these beasts without them being in an iron cage made it an even better experience.

Here's some pics from our day at the ZOO!!!
