Familiar ?
Beauty And Beast???
hahaha....
Where is it?

Trip 4 in West Malaysia.
The oldest Zoo in Malaysia which located at Taiping, Perak.^^

A sunny and blessed Monday morning
I-Man and Princess Wei started their trip to Taiping Zoo.
This is the long awaited place of I-Man.

Before we start, lets have some information about Taiping Zoo :


“Zoo Taiping (Malay for Taiping Zoo) is a zoological park located at Bukit Larut, Taiping, Perak, Malaysia. Established in 1961, Taiping Zoo is the oldest Zoo in Malaysia.
It is one of the major zoological parks in Malaysia. It covers 34 acres (14 ha) and exhibits 1300 animals representing 180 species of amphibians, mammals, and reptiles. It also has a night safari. As the only zoo in North Malaysia, it tends to receive a large amount of visitors. It houses the largest number of stump-tailed macaques in Malaysia, which is thirteen, compared to six at the National Zoo of Malaysia (Zoo Negara) and five at the Malacca Zoo.”





Influenced by Movie, I-Man really feels that taking a fast food 
before travel can improve the 'feeling of  travelling'. 
haha...

Arrived^^
Thanks God for the Nice Weather and safe arrival.
It takes nearly 2 hours from Kampar to Taiping.
Entrance fee: Adult RM12.00    Children: RM10 (3yrs -12 yrs)
Map of Zoo Taiping and Night Safari will be provided.

Maybe it was early in the Morning, so most of the animals woke up already.
They were quite active, moving here and there. 
This is the best timing to visit all of them.
So it is advisable to visit this Zoo in the morning, then you can see how active are them.


The animals are given quite big freedom,
A large living area is provided for the animals , thus they can do whatever they want in this area.
However, maybe too much freedom is given, it brings pros and cons to the visitor. The animals especially Monkeys are allowed to move everywhere in Zoo. 
The pros is it allows visitors to have close contact to animals.
But the cons is the animals may do somethings to visitors.
Thus , it is quite terror. 
It is advisable to visit the animals in a team , better more than 2 people =) 



Dear and deer??
haha...




King of Forest -Tiger

Have you seen the DreamWork's animation - Madagascar before?
If yes, then you must familiar to these four kinds of Animals^^
If not , better go and watch it! haha...

Zebras



Hippopotamus 


Giraffes



Unfortunately, there were only 4 lioness appeared. 
No clear about any Male lion in this Zoo.
However I-Man was quite excited when he heard the roar of Lion.
No wonder lion has been hailed as the king of Animals.
 Curiously, the roar was not from the four lioness. 
It probaly from a male lion inside somewhere.
(At least , I-Man believe it!haha...).

Well known Bird of Sarawak , I-Man Hometown  - Hornbill
