River Safari

Today we paid a visit to River Safari, the river themed zoo and aquarium.  

The panda bear mascot happened to walk by.    We took picture with the panda bear mascot.

 

We rented a stroller for Png Png.   He was happily seating on the stroller most of the time.   We were also relief that we could load off our stuff in the stroller.

 Finally, we reached the Giant Panda Forest that Png Png was longing for.

Sleepy Red Panda.   It looks similar to raccoon.

 

Png Png likes to press the button to hear the sound made by the Red Panda.

We were lucky to be at the Giant Panda Forest during the Panda bear feeding time.   So, we got to see the Panda bear face to face.    However, we only saw one Panda bear.    I have no idea if it was Kai Kai or Jia Jia.

Squirrel Monkey.

 

A squirrel Monkey passed motion when it was running across a tree branch which was located above the walkway.    Luckily nobody was below that spot (see the branch in the air behind us).    Many visitors gave out a sign or relief and had a good laugh.   Png Png laughed hysterically and described the scene to everybody when we got home.
