Zoo Negara, Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA

May 10, 2008

Ton & Anas at the zoo entrance

The family decided to pay the zoo a visit. After all, it is just by our neighbourhood. It was Saturday, but the crowd was not heavy like during school holidays. We could literally stroll along the zoo area.

The animals on exhibit did not change much from our last visit, perhaps 10 years ago. There were renovations here and there plus a few new additions. The earlier star attractions like the penguins were almost “extinct”. They could have died in captivity.

The seladangs appear to be very strong & healthy


The most interesting was the orang utan exhibit. One particular orang utan was huge. Somehow, all of them looked bored to death. Even the foods thrown by the visitors were largely ignored.

This orang utan is huge.

The animal show was worth watching. It had the usual animal antiques put up with their trainers. We managed to catch the sea lion show.

In my opinion, the zoo offers an alternative if you and your family run out of idea to spend quality time together. Treat it as a stroll along the park with the family members.
