    They may be transferred to a facility on another continent (though I cannot say which one because the transfer is not yet approved).

    I am pretty certain they are still there somewhere, but whether or not they are on exhibit I do not know.

    Just to share, the curator for WRS' Herpetology and Invertebrate department has revealed our brand new Green Anaconda exhibit :)

    Edit: Image credit belongs to him, it is not mine but it has been made public for sharing purposes.

    @TheBirdMan can you help my friends and I settle a long debate?

    What species are the red howlers at River Safari? When I went their keeper said Venezuelan (Alouatta seniculus), but on ZIMS (according to friends who searched it up for me) they are actually Guyanan (A. macconnelli) imported from Guyana. So which are they?

    today's Inside the Zoo EP3 mentioned still 4 Jaguarundi in WRS, hopefully to be able to see them somewhere shortly.

    WRS still holds 2.2 jaguarundi (breeding pair and their offspring) off exhibit. I hope WRS keeps this species too but sadly there aren't any suitable exhibits (existing or planned) to display them. I recall someone had posted in the forum that the jaguarundis would be exported.

    Seems that will be the case looking by the way behind the scenes. Wonder where they will be exported too.

    Hello! Does anyone know the title of the background music that is playing in the manatee enclosure?
    Thanks!

    Hi All,

    Does anyone know what is this construction work for? Do they plan to build path to visit new enclosure on lower level? I hope so:) 20210214_045435139_iOS.jpg

    This is the new free public access boardwalk that will encircle River Safari and eventually the Zoo. It will be kept separate from the gated areas of both parks. No exhibits are planned along the boardwalk, it is meant for leisurely walks along the water's edge.

    Thanks a lot for answer, even a little bit disappointed to hear this is just a boardwalk only, maybe we could see some Singapore local wildlife on the way.

    It seems like the park's female giant panda is finally pregnant and ready to give birth after their 7th attempt at breeding. She is off display till further notice.

    Thank for sharing. It seems this is true, as WRS also put the post on their facebook, even they didn't say "panda"
