Safari

Most large cities have zoos,but have you ever been to a zoo at night ? Singapore has a night zoo called “Night Safari”.It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it’s dark.But if you’ve ever been to a zoo during the daytime,you might understand why this zoo is so special.A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is the best time to watch them. If you go to see lions,tigers,or foxes during the daytime, they’ll probably be asleep ! At the Night Safari,you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than a normal zoo. One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round.This is because the island is so close to the equator. So you can choose to go whenever you like –spring,summer, autumn,or winter !And,of course, it’s not too far from China ! Zoo and weather
