Taiping Zoo 2009

This is probably the third time I’ve visited Taiping Zoo, yes I’m an animal lover. Every time I visit the zoo it’s like a different experience as the animals would be doing something different (or conversely not doing something). One thing that remained rather consistent were the porcupines, everytime I went, they were sleeping under the tree trunks, sigh…

Well here are some shots to share C&C welcomed:

Kinda got lucky this time as the elephants decided to waltz right up in front of the pen to be photographed.

Full frontal.

Blank stare.

In my own element.

Lazing around.

Otto love.

Broken horn.

Vined trunk.

Got something for me?

Family day.

Hey there sexy.

Leave me alone.

I particularly liked this shot of the baby chimp playing with a aluminium can, his pose and expression just looks badass.

I got my eye on you.

This one was particularly amusing as the orang utan was actually snacking on Rota! Shame on the visitors for feeding junk food to the animals, that Rota snack is probably going to mess up this poor chap’s diet.

Rota for all.

The flamingos were nice, only if there were more of them just like in the Singapore Zoo.

Flamingo reflection.

Bambi grown up.

Wink wink.

Where’s mommy?

Black & White.

Missy giraffe.

Swan lake.

Red perch.

Storm reflected.

The lake.

Crocs: as gentle as grass.

Stylo spider.
