A Visit To The National Zoo

The husband suggested that we brought Adam to the zoo since we noticed he loves animals so much.. How did we know?? he's not afraid touching the animals expecially cat and rabbit..So after having breakfast with the whole family we made our way to the National Zoo our house..I thought we were the late ones because it was almost 10 o'clock..But there were not that many people there yet..only couple of preschoolers group for their school trip i guess..As we neared the entrance..there were more preschoolers group there gathering..Then it hit me that it was children day..No wonder.. HSBC are also doing one of their event there which is The Zoo Negara Lake Restoration Project.. but still it wasn't that pack..

Ignoring me

While the husband went to get our tickets..i took a couple of pictures of Adam infront of the gate.. but he was more interested with his travelling fan than my lense..

As we entered we went straight to the monkey's sections..On the way, we saw a tent with a pony, a colourful bird and a snake.. it was set up for picture session..went there and took pictures of Adam with the pony.. the handler reminded us to make sure that Adam is not that close to the pony afraid of the pony bit him.. but we said we are more afraid of Adam pinching the pony.. true to our words Adam extended his hand to 'touch' the pony.. ehehehe.. see! he's not afraid.. Next we took a family picture with a colourful bird..the blue and yellow feathered macaw..can't remember the name..but it was very a common name..When the handler put the bird on the husband's shoulder..Adam extended his hand behind the husband to 'touch' the bird..luckily the handler was faster that him.. so i had to hold Adam's hand during the photo taking.. After that the handler demonstrated to us how the bird eat..It took the food out from the handler's mouth and eat..using only it's beak and tongue.. very cute!!

The handler demonstrated how he fed the bird

Next we went to the kids world..it's kind of a petting zoo..there were cute animals such as tortoise, goat, rabbit, deer and even pony.. Adam was very attracted to deers and goats..i guess because both of the animals was moving all over their cage.. some of the other animals only stay still such as the monkeys.. tired perhaps?

Nest we went to the amphitheatre to catch the multi-animals show.. while waiting for the show to start i gave Adam his milk.. I was talking to him sudenly his bottle fell of his hand.. he's asleep! But i was looking forward to see his reaction during the multi-animal show especially the swimming seals.. well.. he's tired..He had an early morning.. I wont be telling about the animal show.. it would be much better if you guys see it for yourself.. my story won't do justice..

After the show ended, we stayed a bit to let Adam sleep..but as we moved towards the aquarium, he's awake! and talked non-stop.. After the aquarium we decided to take the train ride to see the whole zoo since we were very hungry and hot!..it was almost noon.. no wonder!

I thought the train system was the same..we can stop any train at any stop.. but they've changed the system..we must pay for the tickets and only able to board the train at the ticket counter.. not wanting Adam to missed anything we paid Rm3 for each of us adult..we have to leave Adam's stroller at the counter since the trin is much more smaller than before.. and there were only 2 stops during the whole journey.. But the journey was not that interesting since the train driver sped all through to the 1st stop..Adam can only see giraffe & elephant at a glance.. you know how babies easily attracted stuffs..by the time he saw those animals it was too late..

On the train ride

We stopped at the pit stop which is the big cats section.. most of thae cages was empty.. we could only see a tiger looking hungry.. Adam was smiling went he saw the tiger and he mouthed out a "meoww" sound.. maybe he thought it was a cat.. Next cage was a lion.. but it was sleeping.. Not moving.. so Adam didn't noticed it..

Then we took the next train back to the entrance..on the way we saw camels, deers and hippos.. but Adam was more interested with the food that a family was eating behind us.. i know he's hungry.. At the entrance we bought a giraffe soft toy for Adam because he took it and kissed and refused to put it back..

On the way back i gave Adam another round of his milk..and he fell asleep without having he's lunch..
