Latest Additions to the Singapore Zoo
The Singapore Zoo has expanded its animal exhibits and programmes to continually draw tourists and locals to Singapore’s very own animal kingdom.

Eight South African macaws have joined the birds at Singapore Zoo, further boosting the park’s diverse collection of birds. The Zoo now houses about 40 bird species at various enclosures, and is frequented by another 40 species of wild birds attracted by its vast greenery and open space to nest and feed.

Besides the African macaws, Singapore Zoo also unveils its latest collection with the babirusa - long-legged, almost hairless pigs found mainly in the island of Sulawesi.

An exhibit on "Tropical Crops" has also been introduced for the first time to allow visitors to acquaint with over 90 species of fruits, vegetables and spices found in the tropics. A myriad of plants are located in this 2,690-square metres plot facing the scenic Seletar Reservoir and near the Fragile Forest exhibit. Planted alongside familiar favourites like mangosteen, groundnuts, star fruit and pomelo are more unusual varieties like oyster plant, Job's tears, breadfruit and butterfly pea.

Visitors  will also be fascinated and enriched by the new "Wonders of the Wild" show. This half-hour programme is aimed at further promoting conservation awareness programme. It combines highlights from the previous “Spirits of the Rainforest” show and “Sea Lion Show”, and showcases 10 animal species of mammals and reptiles. This is the largest number of species featured in any show in the world.
