Day X - Night Safari

  Night Safari is very cool. Unfortunately my photos are only for those not so cool.
  

  
Night safari is at Singapore Zoo. The first night zoo. The reason is, as most of animals are nocturnal, it will be much natural if you visit them at night.
It is on the other far end of city, to tell the truth, when we arrived there after work, very exhausted.
The zoo have some events in. Faces with drums at gate.

The night safari trails.
All animals live in the zoo without fence. Each type of animals has its own zone. It is a mystery for me, how do they know they shall not go out too far? Why wolf won't eat his beautiful delicious deer neighbours? The narrow river is just a easy jump.
When I saw hyena with dotted skin, or wolf with tail down wandering just a few meters away over the bush, my brain turned totally clear and alertive from tiresome.
They are GOOD predators, do we smell nice?

The end of tiger trail
All way along we follow closely to other people. It is not a good idea to leave alone in such dark places with so many eyes hidden arround.
But for this big dangerous cat, a glass wall is setup before us at trail end. He's resting, in night shaddows.

It is very attractive. For animals, it's simple, they just come to the place, do what they do everyday in wild. That is: a horde of rat-like gray blue animals run out of stones, flood to the other side and eating; a white wolf jump onto the rock top, eating; two black bear face with long tail walking down the rope, pick food hidden on the rope knot, hang with tail and eating, em, they look so cute but smell very filthy; white owls flying overhead; racoon searching dustbins; big cat do a perfect jump from tree to big rock just the same in their daily life...
All in all, any fancy is just a piece of cake for these mighty animals.
And they are very proud animals when doing so, they must think this way and laugh hard inside, 'see, these silly mankind, I only do a simple jump, they become so happy to crazy!'
That night, I felt we are really honored to live together with them so miracle in the same crowded planet.
