Really looking forward to that Rainforest Wild Asia area replicating parts of the Mulu Caves....A little late but here's Mandai's official press release for future attractions. TLDR:
- Many new indoor educational facilities
- A new Mandai resort
- Species confirmed so far for Rainforest Wild: Malayan tigers, sun bears, Francois' langurs, pygmy hippos and okapis
- Rainforest Wild Asia ends with a 220 m limestone cavern based on the Mulu Caves in Sarawak housing reptiles and invertebrates
- No info on any opening date for Rainforest Wild yet.
Names and identities unveiled for Singapore’s new offerings at the Mandai Wildlife Reserve
I agree, always nice to see niche areas represented in zoos.Really looking forward to that Rainforest Wild Asia area replicating parts of the Mulu Caves....
5 okapis is pretty impressive! Hopefully their breeding programme is a success. Besides sifakas and Francois' langurs, do we know of any other new animals coming for either Rainforest Wild or is almost every other animal coming from the other parks?Yes, 1.1 arriving from Antwerp Zoo, 1.0 from Dublin Zoo, 0.1 from Wuppertal Zoo (and supposedly another 0.1 from another zoo). Very excited for their arrival!
