Singapore’s back in “soft” lockdown mode and everyone’s corralled indoors once again. But whilst some of us may recall last year’s strict circuit breaker with dread, this time around, we might actually be able to avoid the throes of cabin fever.
Keeping pace with the new normal, the rise of digital interactive content is allowing us to experience the physical spaces we know and love from the confines of our homes!
For a start, Wildlife Reserves Singapore‘s Hello From The Wild Side is returning with a newly curated Zoo Explained! segment, offering limited edition content every month.
So even if you aren’t able to physically visit the zoological parks during this June holidays, there’s still unique opportunities to go behind-the-scenes and interact virtually with the animal and human personalities from Wildlife Reserves Singapore!
Bite-sized, intimate interactions for all animal lovers
In this season’s Hello From The Wild Side, plenty of big personalities from the zoos’ animal family are in the line-up, such as its baby rhino and stars of Animal Friends Show.
In each 20 minutes session, you’ll get up close and personal with the passionate keepers involved in the day-to-day care of the animals, as they walk you through insider tips on animal behaviour and training, animal rehabilitation, and wildlife nutrition.
Beard Envy, anyone?
In the first session of Zoo Explained!, you’ll meet the playful Emperor Tamarins from River Safari and their dedicated keeper, Ken, who will answer all your burning questions about the intelligent and inquisitive animals.
Finding new activities to keep them physically and mentally strong is a never-ending challenge, as Ken will tell you. In this session, you’ll learn more about their natural habitats and even join in their feeding and enrichment activities.
Session Dates: 22 May, Saturday (10am) and 25 June, Friday (10am)
