+Jamilah,32yr old Asian Elephant+
The keepers showed us a few of the behaviours done daily and we were given the chance to feed her one of her favourite food,sugarcane.Elephants are really amazing creatures and i realise that their eyes explain their personality =)
The relationship between the keepers and their elephants are worth to be awed at.We learnt alot.And so they say,seeing is believing..
The next part of the lesson was on Callitrichids,a term used to call all tamarins and marmosets.
They are very small primates of lowland tropical rainforest of Central and South America.
We were brought to Marmoset Complex and Critters Longhouse at the Zoo this time.It brought back fond memories during my early days at the zoo.Fortunately,i still keep all those pictures!
