Most large cities have zoos.
Have you been to a zoo at night
Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night Singapore has a Night Safari. It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it’s dark. However, if you go to see lions, tigers or foxes during the daytime, they’ll probably be asleep! A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is the best time to watch them. At the Night Safari, you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than in a normal zoo.
1. What’s the name of the special zoo
2. Why is it special
Night Safari.
during the daytime
be asleep
