Love is in the air.. in the zoo

Love is in the air in the first quarter of the zoo..

In January, I check out the sunbears, my to-do list after reading that
"The sun bear is the world's smallest bear. It is easily identified by the pale yellow U-shape crest on its chest that is said to resemble a setting sun, hence its name."


Setting sun... just have to see it to believe it.. and boy I caught these 2 sun bears fighting out of love (I'm not sure their gender by the way).. caught a video because there is just no way I can take photos of them. Then print screen thus the effect is.. blurred wahahah


After duty, another RA scene wahahaha.. the Aldabra Giant Tortoises were mating.. Well being tortoises, they are slower so I was able to get clearer photos. And they were pretty fierce too.


The next month, I did not catch sight of any love-making scenes, but I caught sight of the aftermath.. peachicks.. scuttling after their mother. So cool. I almost could not capture them. 2 little children were chasing after these peachicks too with their mum telling them not to scare these chicks. The scene is so warm and fuzzy...

Oh and recently I saw the River Safari logo in the office already. Hmm cannot wait to see River Safari opening.. 2011???
