Discovery @ Zoo Negara - Part2


Ean: Where is this from? Did the elephant die?
Edwina: This elephant was goring the other elephants in the enclosure, so his tusks were sawn off. However, it eventually grew back.
JY: So poachers don't have to kill elephants to get their tusks?
Edwina: Well they do it because it is easier than sedating the animal


Ean (giving the zookeeper accusing looks) : Why did they kill them?

Zookeeper (smiling): We didn't kill them. They died naturally


Orang Utan's fur


Antlers


Beautiful feathers


Facts, feather and egg of the ostrich.

This feather's taller than me!

Ean was introduced to blue Macaws in the animated movie Rio.
He ran around the room going "Blu"


Han examining the 2m long cobra skeleton


The orang utan is this big!



Board game




Animal footprints.
There was a basket of animal paw prints casted in plaster as well


We then proceeded to the elephants for the final part of the programme - feeding the elephants with packets of nasi lemak we prepared earlier


The elephants were ushered into the pool before the education officers were allowed to wander around the enclosure


hiding the nasi lemak


Splash!


The moment the curators left the enclosure, the elephants trooped out of the pool in search of their nasi lemak treat


Here's one!


There ought to be another one of those in here somewhere...


I smell one up here!


Munch, munch...


Spot 2 green paddy frogs
As always we ended our day at the zoo by the frog pool


My favourite spot at the zoo to unwind after spending hours walking around.


Letting the little fishes nibble their fingers
