Zoo Negara / National Zoo

Shocking incident #1:
My trip to the National Zoo was shocking! I saw this peacock without feathers on its tail! I thought the tail was peacock's most proud asset... I don't know if the peacock itself knew about its state...! Poor thing...

I have been to other Zoo such as in Canary Island, Spain. I went to 2 Zoos on Canary Island, one was called Loro Pargue in Tenerife and Palmitos Park in Gran Canaria. The animals there were much more active and looked healthier... Also, the spaces were huge enough for the animals to run around...

This is how a peacock should look like!

Shocking incident #2
Thief stolen something (not too sure) from this lady's bag in a baby buggy... It happened quite near to me but I did not realise it until the husband shouted "Pencuri" meaning "thief" in Malay. By that time, he was already few meters away... There were loads of people there, mostly families... No one was sure what happened... One woman said "I thought that thief was a man running after a thief since he was wearing descent clothes..."

Then after that, National Zoo staff were seen doing checks on people riding "zoo trains", the Aquarium and etc... At least they were doing something to catch the thief... That morning, the taxi driver warned me about pickpockets in National Zoo and also taxi drivers who try to double charge customers...

Now we know who the sponsors are:




Maybank sponsors the tiger... :) Memang Padan!



So cute, AMBank sponsor who else... the camel...

Looks like HSBC is the main sponsors to the animals in National Zoo... I really hope more and more organisations would sponsor the animals in National Zoo... "What goes around comes around"... Also, if you take something from mother earth, make sure you contribute something back to mother earth to preserve the balance in the world...
