Singapore Zoo Singapore Zoo News 2024

From the video and news reports, it appears that he has invested a considerable amount of effort and money into building a fantastic facility to care for elephants, leopards, and other local animals. Hopefully, he will be successful in running the program for other rare animals as well. I'm not sure when the facility will open to the public, but I definitely want to visit there in the future.

 

Is the Greater Mouse Deer still in Treetops trail?
Also, is the dik dik still in Fragile Forest ?

 

the Greater Mousedeer hasnt been housed in the Zoo for years

the Dik-diks died in 2022

 

There were Mouse Deer in the Fragile Forest when I went in September, not sure exactly what species though.

 

Lesser mousedeer

 

I saw that the Gibbon Island will be closed from 4~17 march, and I was wondering if there is a border or wall that blocks view into the island, or the animals will just not be on exhibit.

 

The exhibit is still visible, with the animals off show. The moat has been drained for maintenance and some of the artificial vines are being replaced.

 

Oh. I hoped that the exhibit’s moat will stay because it is one of the hotspots for Stork billed Kingfisher. Thank you for the info!

 

In 2023, Mandai parks have seen 970 births from 128 species, the highest in the past decade

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.

 

Does anyone have a full up to date species list for the Fragile Forest biodome?

 

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.

 

I was there just a week ago and I didn't see the Greater Mousedeer...

 

reminder that the local residents discount is no more. however the wildpass holder discount is still there

 

is Raja the male leopard still around? i've only ever seen the female Nuwa in the enclosure

 

Raja died a couple of years ago. He was quite old. Nuwa is still around, and a new female arrived recently.

 

Is the new female intended for the zoo or night safari?

 

No idea. I hope it is Night Safari.

 

Oh at last, I was so worried they were planning on phasing them out.

 

We actually still have Greater Mousedeer?? Shyeeeett guess I know what I'm gonna be on the lookout for back at the Zoo

Thanks for the heads up
