Primate Kingdom

In the next few blogs, I'm gonna show the Singapore Zoo according to its section / attractions. First stop is the Primate Kingdom. As mentioned, gone are the old concept of zoo where monkey are put in cages.

The primates are everywhere, you gotta look on top of your head at trees or in some of the bushes around you.

The primate kingdom is design as a collection of small moated islands, perched on a gentle slope with moats around. Simply beautiful.

There is one specific area which is called the free ranging orang utan. You see them hanging and swinging from tree tops to tree tops. It's really quite funny to see.

Here are some of the species which I managed to captured in the Primate Kingdom, some of which I have also seen for the first time.

Proboscis Monkey

Cotton-top Tamarin

Capuchin Monkey

Colobus Monkey

Orang Utan

To give an idea how big the orang utan's palm is vs my son's

Behind Bryan, the spider monkey. This is as near as my son dares to go.
