Zoo Negara ny Night

Guess what did I did last night?

Taking the kids to Zoo Negara at night. So there was three adult, Adik, Mak Mini (Indon helper) and me, plus the three kids. The younger Amir tak pergi sama.

I have brought them (the kids) to the zoo on several occasions, even night time, andI enjoy the trip especially seeing the hippopotomous (aka cik badak air) at the zoo.

Last night it was fun and adventourous at the same time. We are the only group with powerful maglites. I brought the monster of maglite, can see the moon one hahaha. Anyway take the zoo train, saw the elephant, then stop at the bird areas.Walk into the aviary. We are the only one stop there, the rest of people just stay on the train... We managed to see burung undan (kingfisher?) closely .. then walked to the tiger den, they were active at night. We were lucky, a worker is feeding the tiger, nama dia maybumi, the tigers are sponsored by maybank so their name ada maywira etc, i think they have three of four tigers. Tiger eats 7 kilos of meat per day.. wow!!!

Then we board the train to Savannah Area.. This is where the adventure begins. Again although there were many visitors visiting the zoo at night, but they seems to be more comfortable riding the train than walking and seeing the animal, we choose to be adventurous and stop there to see the camel, leopard..the ape center was close,in some areas it is pitch black.

So first the camel, and I confidently told my sisters we can make a round to go to see leopard. Mana tahu its a dead end, It was completely gelap but remember i had the monster maglite.... At a corner, I fell, because where normally they have curved curb, suddenly theres a portruding box.... but we continue walking, only then I realised its a dead end... and reverse back, at the same time the voice oh uu uuu uuu (gruntling sound made by the apes) can be heard, and suddenly theres a frantic scream (scarry!!) ... the kids all lari, .. Mak Adik with her bad knees was left behind.. Ali (the four years old) was so scared that he wants to go home immediately.. crying takutttt takutttttttt takuttttt..

We then walk back to the savannah waiting for the train, then we saw a group of arabs and family going the same way we did before hahaha so we just wait to see.. true enough the same piercing scream can be heard ....

Sorry la no pictures, as Adik forgot to recharged her camera, super duper camera cannot work at night :(



Well enough of the zoo, i recommend people to go there. Worth every ringgit u pay.. adult ten ringgit and kids five. I planned to be a life member or volunteer in the zoo,,, minding hippo. WE Could be a great attraction at the zoo together.

THis is a hippo picture, not one of zoo negara. Any similarities??? Zoo negara has three hippos. Nile hippo, tak ingat la nama dia...
