Singapore Zoo’s animal icon Ah Meng the Sumatran orangutan turns eight today. To celebrate, she enjoyed a cool birthday treat – a colourful fruit ice pop lovingly prepared by her human carers and a crowd of adoring fans singing her a birthday song. Over a thousand online followers joined the party via Facebook Live on Wildlife Reserves Singapore’s Facebook page.

In what is believed to be a world’s first orthopaedic surgery of its kind, a rescued Sunda pangolin with a fractured femur was operated on and is now on his way to being rehabilitated and evaluated for release back into the wild. His story inspired Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS) to yet again highlight the plight of the critically endangered Sunda pangolin, a species native to Singapore, in the Together for Wildlife 2019 campaign.

It is the first school holiday of the year in March, bring the flock to Jurong Bird Park and get wild with feathered friends in a carnival! Giddy up on animal rides, roll about in a giant tea cup carousel or take aim at the game booths to win prizes! Young ones can bounce to their hearts’ content at an inflatable pirate ship, or hop onto a paddle boat to have fun in the water.
