A close-up shot on a pony's hair. This picture reminds me of a person's forehead - with spiky hair :)

These mouse deers are not shy at all. They are roaming freely in an extra large enclosure.
By mid-afternoon (Day 2 - Malacca Trip), it started to rain again. It was a gloom and cloudy afternoon - missed out opportunity to snap some nice and decent photos. But then again, I truly enjoyed my two hours trip exploring the second largest zoo in Malaysia.
Malacca Zoo has a HUGE collection of exotic animals - including the ever-elusive pygmy monkeys. These miniature monkeys are awesome! Small, adorable and hyperactive. It reminds me of those pesky creatures in the Gremlin movie :)
Another interesting attraction in the zoo are a group of large-sized adult fruit bats placed in an open enclosure. A pretty scary sight because these flying mammals seems to be aggressive and displayed their sharp teeth! I was worried sick whether these bats will get nutty and start a biting rampage in the enclosure! But, these are FRUIT BATS, so no worries.
Other than that, I nearly patted a big cutie tapir. I was standing so close to it! Well, it was a memorable trip to rediscover our treasured floras and faunas in their best environment.
Remember to follow my photo blog for the last two posts about my Malacca trip :)

the wet bulu of the tapir looks familiar.hmm *trying to recall* oh yeah..now i remember..like those ahbengkia with tonnes of gel on their hair..
anyway, nice photo =) try to snap insects photo cos they look good on close-up..something with our naked eyes we cant really see it well.
Ade Ying,
Yep!! Those wet hair really look like over-gel hairdo!
Thanks for your kind compliments :)
I'm avoiding snapping macro pics on insects unless I have a specialized macro lens.
My entry level DSLR NIKON D60 camera is unable to zoom for those finer features of insects. Have to invest in a macro and long lenses soon!!
Cheers!
