National Zoo (Kuala Lumpur) - 3 of 4

Monday, 27 July 2009

3rd of the 4 postings on our visiting to the National Zoo on this day.

To the Apes Centre......


It is so interesting to watch them.....


Orang Utan (direct translation - Forest People) - these great apes are native to Malaysia. They stretched out their hands to you if they see you have something to offer to them.




The Insect House


Jewel Beetles


Cicadas


Malayan Giant Scorpions (Heterometrus spinifer)


Tarantulas


Grasshoppers


Heliocopris - Scarab Bettles of Egypt. Looking at them reminded me of the "Mummy"


Phasmatodea - Stick Insects: With the leaves, I would have thought it was just a tree branch!


Butterflies




The toilet is not part of the insection building, but it is also painted to the colour of a ladybird.
