Inuka (The Polar Bear) at Singapore Zoo

From the time i knew that Singapore Zoo owns a "POLAR BEAR", it made me super duper excited; as one don't get lucky everyday. Definitely Inuka(the Polar Bear) is a lucky charm of Singapore Zoo; he recently celebrated his 25 th birthday..............yayyyyyy

As you can see in the map below the Zoo is divided into 11 zones; and the main attraction of Singapore Zoo are these amazing 4 shows on daily basis(2-shows a day). These shows are super entertaining, engaging, educational and fun. The uniqueness of this zoo is that here animals are free to roam in their natural habitat.

To make to the fullest we( I and my Aunt) started quite early. We reached Zoo by 9:30 am. As soon as our tickets got scanned, we were handed a map at the entrance. Since the zoo is widely spread in very large area a map is must. Obviously by this time you must have realized that where i headed first ........ hahaha.

We straight way headed to Zone Frozen Tundra to see Inuka(the Polar Bear). OOOOMMMMMMGGGGG.......... this Gigantic Polar Bear was infront of my eyes, or I should say this Fuffy Giant White Teddy Bear. He was impressing the audience with his Swimming Skills............hahaha.
Certainly that moment was highlight of my trip, an overwhelming experience and memory to cherish through my entire life.
It was certainly a lucky day for us, as there are days when he likes to be alone , as he vanishes in his Snow Cave(oppsss).

It was around 10:15 am by now, and as per the schedule in 15 mins it was time for the first show.

Splash Safari Show(10:30am and 5:00pm)

We headed to Saw Foundation Amphitheater to see Splash Safari Show(30 mins show). The Superstar of the show was this amazing trained "Sea Lion". This mischievous Sea Lion was splashing water all over the audience(the one's sitting at the front) and entertaining us with numerous tricks. It was amazing show.

After the show one can get clicked with Sea Lion; or i should say get a kiss from Sea Lion (Photo Charges-S$ 30).

Elephants at Work and Play show(11:30am and 3:30pm)

For Elephants at Work and Play show(30 mins) we moved to Elephants of Asia. There were these amazing Asian Elephants entertaining us by showing their strength, lifting huge wooden logs, playing with hats and showing many other tricks.

After the show one can fed elephants with basket full of fruits (Charges-S$ 5).

Rainforest Flights Back show(12:30pm and 2:30pm)

We moved back to Saw Foundation Amphitheater to see Rainforest Flights Back show(30 mins). It was quite engaging and same time educational show for us. They informed us how cutting of trees effect these little friends of ours; spider monkeys, macaws, otters, snakes, White Peacock to name few.Their natural habitat is being disturbed by our human activties.

After the show one can get clicked with these little friends(Photo Charges-S$ 30).

By now it was around 1:00pm ,time was all ours. We started to explore the entire zoo starting from Tropical Crops Zone and moved to others. There were some amazing and rare species of animals like Proboscis Monkey , Red River Hog, Kangaroo, Cassowary, Orangutan, White Rhinoceros, Giant Tortoise, African Penguin, African Painted Dog to name few. There was also Snake House and Reptile Garden.
