A short visit to Zoo Negara
September 17, 2007. I was invited by my friend to visit the National Zoo of
Malaysia; Zoo Negara. The zoo is located in the northern part of Kuala Lumpur
city.
When I reached there, I was shocked to find out a lot of birds (introduced by
the staff from the Zoo) are building nests on the trees of the zoo....& they are
allowed to fly in & out of the zoo, anytime!!! Amazing!
Here are some pictures taken inside the zoo:
A Stork, Mycteria sp.:
A Painted Stork, Mycteria leucocephala:
A Painted Stork is carrying the leaf litter. (material for building nest)
Alone....
Pelican, Pelecanus sp.
Probably this is Marabou Stork, Leptoptilos crumeniferus ???
