The Singapore Zoo yesterday celebrated its 44th anniversary with a scrumptious durian feast organised for its animal icon Ah Meng and her friends.
Orangutans Ah Meng, Chomel, Putra, Anita and her new baby made quick work of the hard thorny shells and husked the durians with their bare hands and teeth.
Friends of Singapore Zoo and Friends of Wildlife members were also invited to join in the feast of durians and other tropical fruits, followed by photo opportunities with the charismatic apes.
Singapore Zoo was officially opened on June 27, 1973.
