We went to the zoo on Saturday. Yeah, it should sound WEIRD that we actually wanted to go to the zoo. But hey, zoo is an awesome place to visit! At least that's something different from the usual hot spots like shopping complexes right? =D I'd rather call that creative and interesting rather than weird and dull. =P Right right right??? =D
Well apparently, we left at around noon, so, we didn't really have much time to stroll through that labyrinth around the zoo's compound and scrutinizing every single creature that met our eyes. But I guess we both were more attracted towards the Reptile House. *giving that are-you-thinking-what-i'm-thinking-look*
Oh, and HUGE thanks to someone who told me to wear long sleeves for the scorching sun beams might be painful against the skin. *sarcasm sarcasm!* Man, it was damn hot okay? And how could I have been so silly to follow what he said? LMAO. My bad. I'll never wear long sleeves to zoo again. =P
20 bucks for the entrance fee. Initially, we thought of entering the insect and butterfly park too. But I guess we didn't have much time left though. I thought there would be sharks. But no sharks. =(
And those fishies we saw don't seem much of a difference you know. So, at some parts, kinda bored us. Um, maybe not. I think I sorta enjoyed looking at those huge and rare and strange-looking aquatic creatures, unlike someone who I think has this kinda slimy-phobia. =P
Mud-skippers and extremely large fishes. Thumbs up! =D
Somehow it was difficult to resist laughing at someone's expression towards those creatures that I find extremely AMUSING. =P
Oh, and there was this elephant that kept staring us straight into the eyes and it looked so adorable! It was as if it knew us! =D Okay, exaggeration. =P And we actually saw it knelt down on its knee! Awesome! =D
It's really unfathomable how someone could like a baboon because of its red butt. Eww? HAHA
Oh, there were just too much to see man! Giraffes, tigers, lions, elephants - the common ones.
Penguins, bears, otters, flying fox which are actually bats, raccoon, wild boar! HAHA
We didn't take much pictures though, thinking that we'd better save the battery for reptiles later on. And yup, the best are always saved for the last. So as expected, the reptile house was the last destination. =D I guess we spent almost an hour in there. =D
Someone said it looked like Brother Bear. Sorry, but I never watched Brother Bear. =P Haha
These otters are just too cute!
Can you see them? It's not very clear though, apologies. Um, just in case you have no idea what they were doing, lemme tell you. They were actually mating. Yup, you heard me correctly. The male is on top of the female. Hmm, the male always seem to be smaller in size than the female ain't it?
I thought this was a komodo dragon at first. But clearly, it wasn't. It's some kinda lizard. I forgot its name. =P
These are alligators.
These are crocs.
They're different! =D
Hmm, someone's obsession. =P
Huge right???
The one on the right below the platform was way too posing man! It really was you know! =D
The Flying Fox aka BATS! They're huge! I'd never thought bats could be that huge man!
Alright, enough for those. Now, it's time for MINE! =D *drum roll*
The so-called King Cobra. Man, it never came out you know??? How frustrating it was. But I snapped it anyway. People, it's King Cobra!!! I just wanted to see its head. =(
And most animals that we wanted to see so much and take picture of seemed to be asleep man! GRRRR!!! =P
See how long it it? I just wish I could have touched it.
It's the same snake as above. This snake was awesome I tell you! I dunno whether it was me or what, but I was kinda like luring it upwards and it actually followed my hand upwards! How cool was that man! And I had to ask him to snap this picture. =D
This is a python. Um, an Albino-something Python. I forgot its name, sorry. =P
Someone said it looked nice. I had to nod. =P
They slithered really quickly man.
This is what I call a real python. Can you imagine how long it is if you untangle it? *breathless*
This is by far one of my favourite I guess. It's a viper. It's a venomous snake by the way. *if i'm not mistaken*
Geez, these weren't enough for me man! =( There were just too few of them! I had expected snakes I've seen on Discovery Channel and National Geographic you know. Okay, maybe I expected too much from our National Zoo. =P
But one thing for sure, snakes are one of the reason that made my day. Not just by seeing them and snapping pictures of them though. It was far more than that. =D
*deep breath*
I actually touched a python. =DDD
You will never ever imagine how happy I was! Just before we entered the Reptile House, there were 3 zoo trainees *I suppose*, just right outside the Reptile House. And one of them had a snake wounded around its neck. I was stunned. *someone said I was* How strange it was you know. I had wanted and longed to touch a snake ever since we planned this trip to the zoo, and now that I've came face to face with a snake, I was actually a lil nervous to lay my hands on it. But in the end, someone was urging and asking me constantly whether I wanted to touch it or not. So finally, I mustered all my courage and we both asked that guy if I could touch the snake. =D
And I actually touched it! OMG OMG OMG! I just can't believe I actually did that man! That feeling was just plain awesome! Its skin was not how I thought it would feel like. It was just, indescribable. You really gotta try it for yourself man. I love snakes. =D
It's a python by the way. *had i mentioned? XD*
And it looked so tame! OMG. How adorable it was man! With its innocent-looking eyes and its flickering sharp-pointed tongue and its smooth and moderate head size. Oh, I longed to have it wrapped around my neck man. Just once! =D
I guess I could still remember how its skin felt on my skin. Do I sound extremely outta my mind? I'm so sorry but I just am too interested in snakes. =D
Someone just dared not touch it. I am so gonna make you touch it if we ever have the chance again. Deal deal deal??? =DDD
Okay, enough of my snakes, I suppose? =P
Did any of you realize something of utter importance has been missing in those pictures???
Yeah! US!!! We were missing in those pictures! HAHA
Sorry, I promise we would have our picture snapped the next time. =D
We should go to the zoo more often. Okay, maybe not zoo. Or, we should probably have trips to more exotic places. =DDD *thumbs up + nods head in agreement!*
I love the zoo! =D
ZOO!!!
xoxo
