Orang Utan at Singapore Zoo

Though not the only zoo in the world to display a social group of orang utans, Singapore Zoo is the only one who has done it on such a large scale. The Singapore Zoo displays a large social group of 24 orangutans in a spacious naturalistic enclosure.

White Tiger

Only one White Tiger exists out of every 10,000 normal orange-coloured tigers. In the wild, Bengal White Tigers are found exclusively within South Asia, notably India. Although Bengal tigers make up 60% of the world's wild tiger population, individuals with white coats are very rare.

Elephants of Asia

Visitors have a bird's eye view of the elephants and their behaviour on one side, and the stunning beauty of the reservoir on the other.  Built along the tranquil waters of the Seletar Reservoir, the 7800-square-metre exhibit comprise viewing lofts, rustic thatched huts and elevated boardwalks.

Hamadryas Baboons - The Great Rift Valley of Ethiopia

As you journey through Hamadryas Baboons - The Great Rift Valley Of Ethiopia, you will begin to appreciate the often misunderstood Ethiopia - her beautiful people, dramatic landscapes, dazzling variety of wildlife and plant life, and fascinating history. The remote parts of Ethiopia are populations that seem completely cut off from the modern world. T Independent and resilient, some of these natives have learned to survive in extremely harsh conditions, such as the Afar areas where temperatures often soar above 50 degrees Celsius.
