Animal lovers in Singapore can look forward to even more attractions in the coming years. Months after announcing a forest resort and Singapore’s fifth wildlife park, Mandai Wildlife Group revealed on Thursday (Jul 25) that the Night Safari is set to have a new 280m-long walking trail.
Here, visitors can look out for animal species such as the Sunda pangolin, slow loris, binturong, oriental small-clawed otter and spotted giant flying squirrel.
But these animals aren’t just for show.
Mandai Wildlife Group’s veterinary team has treated over 200 wild pangolins over the past 10 years and is embarking on a breeding programme for the species.
In a press statement, Dr Cheng Wen-Haur, deputy CEO of Mandai Wildlife Group, said: “The new Pangolin Trail tells the story of our ongoing mission to conserve this critically endangered species, with a holistic plan to protect them both in the wild, as well as in our care. The trail will offer guests the unique experience of seeing and learning about the shy and elusive pangolin being active at night.”
