Did you know? Singapore’s Night Safari is home to over 900 animals from around 100 species, with 41% classified as endangered or threatened. Opened on May 26, 1994, it was the world’s first nocturnal zoo—designed to let visitors observe animals at night using soft, moonlight-like lighting that doesn’t disrupt their natural behavior. One standout resident is the critically endangered Sunda pangolin—the most trafficked mammal in the world. Remarkably, Night Safari became the first zoo to successfully breed them in captivity, highlighting its vital role in global conservation. So yes, a night at the safari isn’t just fun, it’s helping save wildlife.
