This is the larger of 2 underwater viewing windows for the polar bear exhibit. The 2nd much smaller window is actually located at the adjacent River Safari.
fair enough. From my point of view I suspect it would be far easier for Singapore Zoo to obtain Japanese raccoon dogs than Arctic foxes simply due to geographical/political reasons. Raccoon dogs in general would be even easier because they are widespread in the other neighbouring (more northerly) countries such as South Korea.
I suppose, I sometimes forget that things are different on the other side of the world. If the worst came to the worst then I'm sure Singapore could "rescue" some dogs from a fur farm in China or somewhere similar.

I wish more zoos in Europe would keep there lovely animals and use them to highlight what happens to them, maybe people would think about buying those cheap boots from the east then.
Lovely yes, but a serious threat to European native wildlife and this issue (rather than farms in its native range) seems to be the emphasis of several recent raccoon dog exhibits in the continent. Considering the speed of their spread in recent years, there may soon be raccoon dogs in the majority of mainland Europe and I doubt the extermination programs that some countries have initiated will change that. In any case that means that any European zoo wishing to exhibit raccoon dogs could source them very easily, but it is already common in zoos in the region: ZootierlisteHomepage
Based on the photos and general information the Frozen Tundra exhibits in Singapore don't impress me, especially considering the usual high standard of the zoo. But I certainly do look forward to visiting again later this year; don't want to miss those new aquaria either
