Singapore zoo

By most accounts Singapore and San Diego have the two best zoos in the world. 
The pandas (which American zoos have a hard time breeding) are one of the main attractions.  They are as cute as advertised.

 I read that only African lions have the full mane.
And a large turtle...

 A cute polar bear...

 Lots of different monkeys...

 Including this monkey that... well, I have to believe the other monkeys make fun of him.

 I learned from the tour that Pink Flamingos get their color from what they eat.

Overall, the zoo was pretty amazing but I kept thinking, "If you really want to see monkeys and elephants why not go to Nepal where you can actually feed the monkeys and wash the elephants?"

There is a second park where they have a night safari.  None of the pictures turned out, but it was worth going.
