Singapore Zoological Gardens |
 |
| |
|
| |
The Singapore
Zoo is a model of the 'open zoo' concept.
The animals
are kept in spacious, landscaped enclosures,
separated from the visitors by dry or wet moats.
The moats are concealed with vegetation or
dropped below the line of vision.
In the case
of dangerous animals such as leopards and
jaguars which can climb very well, moat barriers
are not used.
Instead,
these animals are housed in beautifully
landscaped glass-fronted enclosures.
Oppressive
cages which typify old zoos, are absent.
The end result is a
feeling of openness. |
