Someone asked me why I’d always want to go to the zoo whenever I visit a country. Aside from testing my photography skills (or the lack thereof) for wild animal shoots, I wittingly replied “Show me your country’s best zoo and I will tell you how well-fed your people are“. Just look at how the Manila zoo tigers are so skinny.
Here are some of the shots I got using my Canon Rebel XT with the Sigma 70-300mm APO DG-Macro. The animals are between 10 to 20 meters away so a telephoto lens is a must here.
The Singapore Zoo is indeed one of the biggest and most beautiful zoo in the world. The shot of the flowers and the lake (Singapore’s water reservoir) was taken using the Canon 10-22mm.
The zoo is about 15 minutes by taxi from the city center (we stayed at the Geylang area) and costs about SG$15. Entrance fee is $15PHP 880INR 1,271EUR 14CNY 109 with optional $5PHP 293INR 424EUR 5CNY 36 for a ride-all-you-can tram.

Abe,
How much does it cost to have a 70 to 300 mm lens?
issai says:
the gator really looks well-fed :)
Gail says:
Heh. Looks like the animals didn’t feel like doing a superman and mauled you :P
Love the tigers. Taba!!! And they’re fat even if nakaharap syo hehehe unlike ours in Manila Zoo… Side view, looks ok. But once it faces you, ang NIPIS! Well, you gotta hand it to our zoo… we’re good with optical illusions! :D

You *must* go to Avilon Zoo in Montalban or see the aviary at MMLDC in Antipolo or Eden Nature Park in Davao. You just might change your mind re: zoos and being how well-fed the people are. Cheers! :)
Tina says:
Ahh, tigers! I always make it a point to see the tigers in any zoo I visit. I can’t wait to go to Zoobic tuloy.
Yes, you should visit Avilon Zoo in Montalban. They have a wide selection of animals and they’re all under good care. :)
jun says:
Nice shots! You are really getting better and better at this photo thing. So when will you set up shop?
liz says:

Jane says:
Wow! Pwedeng pang-postcard! You can have an alternative career in photography!
First time for me to leave comment on your blog. Wala kasi akong masabing techy.
Now I get what your nick is (after reading your ‘About’). Am also Ilonggo so I know exactly what it means. My dad used to go “Yu di puga!” (or something like that…) :-)
Got you linked up to my site already!
ruth says:
Geylang area? The red light district? ;)
Aileen Apolo says:
I forgot to ask you to take a photo of the cute polar bears! I couldn’t get a good photo of them using my idiot camera :( I missed the pigs show by a week! Aarggghhh!
Hope ya enjoyed!
Jim says:
:)) Geylang?! mismo! halos 24-hours ang mga nakatayo–eheheh! buti ibang hayop ang subjects mo.
You’ve got nice shots here Yuga, might as well have a solo photo exhibit in the future!? ;)

Manila Zoo is not the Philippines’ best zoo.
“Show me your country’s best zoo and I will tell you how well-fed your people are“
I agree with Tina… Go to Avilon Zoo
Still… are Filipinos well-fed?
Nice shots!

DisneyFan says:
For a mopment there I thought you meant the Animal Kingdom theme park at Walt Disney World in Florida, USA. If anyone is looking for great deals in Orlando or Kissimmee, Florida USA try
http://www.Orlando.us which frequently runs some. Nice photos.
Anino says:
Oh I missed it! I went to the Night Safari and saw 3 animals.What a disappointing experience!
adam says:
I’ve been to Singapore pero sayang di ako nakapunta ng Zoo dun. Siguro next time na lang pag balik ko.
