Night Safari is pretty much my favorite thing in Singapore. Guests, be warned: When you come visit, I will make you go. It's a zoo that opens only after dark, when the noctournal animals are most active. They feed them at that time, too, so the critters are usually doing something. The only bad part is that it's pretty much impossible to take pictures, because it's really dark and you're moving on the tram. But I tried.
They use mostly "natural" barriers, so you aren't staring at anything through a fence. Which is a bit disconcerting when you reach the lions, but they're far enough away to feel safe. Pretty much.
They also have a big cage of flying squirrels, where you can walk right in and watch them zoom around. They weren't doing much this time, they looked like they were busy eating, but last time one flew right at my head.
They do the same thing with the bats, you walk right in the cage with them. Yes, you can reach out and poke them if you wanted to, and no, I did not.
One of the glass cages had leopards, one of which cooperated by taking a snooze right in front of the window. We sat there for a good 20 minutes just watching him sleep. He was huge.
My only other remotely discernable picture was of one of the elephants:

Oh, and the toilets make roaring tiger sounds when you flush them. What more could you ask for?
