For a long time, the Singapore Zoo has provided ample living space and a wild habitat-like environment for the animals on display. This open-ended concept has won the zoo a number of accolades. Today, Singapore Zoo is working to transform itself into a knowledge-based zoo. Visitors are no longer simply appreciating animals, but through more interactive projects to learn about animals and strengthen the awareness of wildlife conservation.
Singapore Zoo adopts a fully open model: the park replaces the fence with a natural barrier to create a natural living environment for various animals. There are more than 300 species of about 3,050 animals in the park who live freely and peacefully with tourists in a comfortable environment without artificial barriers. There are 290 species of mammals, birds and reptiles, a total of more than 3,000, in addition, the park also displays many endangered animals, including Comodo dragons, sleeping bears, golden snub-nosed monkeys, and the world's largest social ape.
Many species of animals from all over the world will also be exhibited in the park, such as The Malay tapir, proboscis monkey, otter, parrot, baby black monkey, black panther, east African lion, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, carp, antelope and so on. In addition, opposite the zoo amphitheater there is a free and happy world, consisting of 6 large islands and 2 small islands. There are 11 different species of monkeys and apes living here, including colobus monkeys, macaques, red monkeys, lone monkeys, white-handed gibbons and so on. Small rivers separate small islands, and the shores are overgrown with green grass, wildflowers, trees, and waterfalls.
Giant pandas "Jiajia" and "Kaikai" from Sichuan, China, are housed in the "Rare Animal Exhibition Hall". Speaking of which, we have to mention: after seven years of struggle, Kai Kai and Jia Jia finally gave birth to the first baby panda on August 14 and upgraded to mother.

The Wild Australian reflects the rugged beauty of the australian continent, and as you walk through, grey and sensitive kangaroos jump around freely as if to welcome you. Flanked by two rustic huts with a range of interesting reptiles and commentary boards on display. A major highlight is the long, wrinkled neck lizard, which shares a home with the pine lion lizard. Marvel at the delicate pattern of carpet pythons, or watch the shy honey bag squirrel curl up and nap happily. In another cabin, keep an eye out for the fire-eater, which will flutter the bony "helmet" on its head and hurry around, or watch the yellow-green crowned parrot comb its feathers.
