Taiping-Zoo

Back in my hometown, I revisited Taiping Zoo which is a popular zoo in northern region of Malaysia. It is located within the famous well preserved Taiping Lake Garden.

Taiping-Zoo-Orang-Utan Orang Utan is one of the endangered great apes species mostly found in Malaysia and Indonesia. Their lifespan can reach to about 50 years in the wild.

Taiping-Zoo-Green-Iguana This green iguana is commonly found in many pet shops. They looked dangerous but actually pose a very calm and slow moving behaviour. They are herbivor and can live to about 20 years.

Giraffe-Taiping-Zoo-2 In the animal kingdom in Safari, my favourite herbivorious species is giraffe. Maybe it is because of its unique figure and beautiful body pattern.

Malaysian-Gaur-Seladang-Taiping-Zoo This Malaysian gaur or so-called 'Seladang' is the maskot of the Perak football team. With its formidable size and muscular body, Gaur became the heaviest and toughest of all wild cattles.
