Unfortunately the lone female Greater Mousedeer has died.

That has to be the most unintentionally funniest but saddening thing I've read this week.

Well thanks for the heads up again. Mission failed, we'll get em next time.

An eastern black-and-white colobus monkey jumped from its enclosure earlier and has been wandering around the zoo premises.

Is the Reptopia walkthrough aviary ever gonna reopen any time? It had some African grey parrots before

 

[DannySG]

Last week when I was there, I saw the hogs are back to the enclosure, also sign is back.

Some small updates:

The Red River Hog sign has been removed from the exhibit at Wild Africa. It seems like the Nyala females will fully occupy the exhibit.

Mandai's last remaining Greater Mousedeer is back on display at Treetops Trail (unsigned).

The former Big-headed Turtle vivarium at the Fragile Forest frog room now houses Red-eyed Crocodile Skink (unsigned). But they are near impossible to see if they're not being fed as they spend the whole day hidden under pieces of wood.

How many Malayan tigers are now in Singapore zoo? And if some of them stayed in Night Safari after transport of white tigers in NS?

The sea lion and penguin habitats will be undergoing a major revamp, with works expected to be completed in 2027.

The sea lion and penguin habitats will be undergoing a major revamp, with works expected to be completed in 2027.

Remember the original plan was to convert Frozen Tundra into a new sea lion habitat but now they're renovating the current sea lion habitat. Hope there's plans for Frozen Tundra. Are they still planning on converting the old Kidzworld to an elephant habitat?

Damn THAT long huh, wonder what they'll be cooking with that

Huhmmus?

The construction has to be phased and done carefully as the new exhibit is being built over the existing enclosures and back of house areas. According to plans, the new exhibit will supposedly have separate enclosures for the Californian Sealions, African Penguins and a Seal species (not sure which one).

 

[NATY]

Three long years but excited for the Zoo to have a significant new addition with seals. Guess harbour seals are most likely due to availability but nonetheless, it's great that they're adding a major new species

0.1 Sri Lankan Leopard arrived from Ostrava (Czechia) at the end of June. She is currently in quarantine

I've heard that Mandai received some female Nile Lechwe recently. I suppose they will be getting a male too. Not sure which park they will be displayed at though.

That definitely is one of the best things I've ever heard in a while. As much as I know that it is nearly impossible, I really REALLY wish that they restore Equatorial Africa in the Night Safari's Tram ride after a few years. The Night Safari would then be the perfect place for me.

But for now, I'm happy with the Nile Lechwes

Also, when will the L'hoests monkeys be back on display? And are there any plans to breed the cherry crowned mangabeys and De Brazza's guenons?
