    Sunda Slow Loris (Nycticebus coucang)

    The zoo has 4 indivisuals on exhibit. This individual was recently confiscated by authoritires and brought to the zoo. It was caught in an illegal trap, so it is missing a leg and health conditions seem very bad. Let's hope that it will regain health in the zoo.
  2. Lesser Bird of Paradise (Paradisaea minor) Female

    Melaka Zoo Malaka Zoo Visit

    Continuing my tour of Asian Zoos I visited Malaka Zoo. This was quite a pleasant surprise. A relatively new collection which first opened its gates in 1963 it is an attractive place to visit because of its setting, cleanliness and standard of care.
