Good morning from Taiping Zoo, where we joined many local tourists for a lovely day out in the zoo guided by our very knowledgeable animal loving intern, Tristen.

I have always wondered why Penang doesnt have a zoo for I personally believed that a well run zoo has its benefits. No we don't need animals confined in small cages, but a good zoos, like the Singapore Zoological garden, serves a great purpose. 

Humans do not protect what they don't love. Zoos are a great place for our children to learn how beautiful and amazing these creatures, big and small are.  Orang Utan @ Taiping ZooKaterin with her new, still unnamed baby.
