Nowadays no one can be surprised by a zoo, safari-park or even a natural reserve of a huge area and with a considerable amount of inhabitants. However, by far not every state can boast of a night zoo. The first night zoo in the world was opened in 1994 on the territory of Mandai district in the Republic of Singapore. Since then the place has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country: every year it is visited by more than 1.5 million people. The square of more than 40 hectares is occupied by more than one thousand fascinating representatives of fauna, half of the species are threatened with extinction. All these astonishing creatures of nature can be easily seen, thanks to a moon project by famous London based light-designer Simon Corder.

At the entrance to the Night Safari, visitors are greeted by a spectacular fiery performance of local aborigines who wear loincloths, just like thousands of years ago. The whole atmosphere of the zoo matches the wild inaccessible jungles of tropical forests. Various sounds of its inhabitants are heard far beyond the zoo. You can explore the territory of «safari» by sitting in a cozy compartment of a mini-train or walking across the broad pedestrian paths. But you should start your journey by visiting a local amphitheater, where another fantastic show «Creatures of the Night» is organized.

Then you will see numerous spacious aviaries where, contrary to day zoos, animals lead a habitual way of life. Besides, they are not afraid of visitors and let the guests watch them from a close distance. There you can meet astonishing pangolins and armadillos, funny lemurs and Bengal slow loris, graceful axis deer and the largest bulls in the world – gauras. Ranging from the biggest Asian elephants and rhinos to the hissing Madagascar cockroach and a black scorpion – such a huge number of inhabitants of the Night Zoo in Singapore can not be compared even with that of the world-famous African safari-parks.
