Zoo Negara

After that tiring trip at Batu Cave, we went straight to Zoo Negara.

The driver asked if we were to visit our relatives in that place. I did not understand that he was kidding, referring to animals as our relatives, so I told him that we do not have any relatives in Malaysia and that Tanya and Marie are working in their country. Silly me!

Inside the zoo, we rode in a tram which will take you to different parts of the place. We did not want to walk and explore the place by foot since it seemed like a large park.

Here’s a picture of the different animals in the zoo:





And the most beautiful animals are:



I don’t know if that was the first time that I saw a camel but I did saw one. While seating in the tram, my eyes caught something that made my heart beat faster than usual.

Because of the fences, I was not able to see everything clearly and it (the fences) definitely obstructed my view. I saw something like a camel’s back but it had layers of feathers. Little by little, the fences were gone and I saw that that “thing” has only one leg. Do we have an animal that has only one leg?

My heart skipped a beat and my mind started to process what my eyes had just seen. After a few seconds, I already know what the name of the beast is: Nipa hut.

Yes, nipa hut.

I told my friends what happened and they all laughed with me (or at me?) hmmm…
