Underwater World in Langkawi, Malaysia, is one of the largest marine and fresh water aquaria in South East Asia. Photos from my August 2009 trip…
Leafy seadragon
The Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa, Japan, is the world’s second largest aquarium behind the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, USA. It’s one of the very few aquariums in the world that keep whale sharks in cavity.
Video of Kuroshio Sea, the largest tank in the aquarium; shot by Canadian filmmaker Jon Rawlinson. Mesmerising stuff; I can watch this for hours…
A giant panda high up at the Beijing Zoo in China…
Many people don’t know that giant pandas are good climbers; I’m rather amazed though, that the tiny tree branches could support the panda’s weight.
A visit to Malaysia’s National Zoo (Zoo Negara in Malay) on June 2, 2007.
It was our king’s birthday and a public holiday; my sister (with hubby and kids) from Penang took the chance to visit us in Kuala Lumpur… and the zoo seemed like the perfect place for family outing, especially with a bunch of little kids.
Can’t remember when my prior trip to Zoo Negara was… used to visit the zoo quite often when I was a kid, but it must be more than a decade ago since my last visit before this trip…
