I took many pictures and movies at the Night Safari. Given that I was
shooting at night without a flash at moving animals, I'm surprised they
show anything at all. Nevertheless, some did come out at least to
extent that you make out what the animal is and what it is doing. In
any case, I feel I must declare that I don't think any of these pictures
do the Night Safari experience justice.

| Unidentified.

| A video of an striped hyena I believe.
| I'm not sure what the animals in this video are.
| I think this is a barking deer.

| Dinner at the Night Safari
|
|
|
|
| After exploring roughly half the night safari, I returned to the food
court to have dinner. This is a panoramic movie of part of the food
court.
| I selected the Indian joint (US$19) from among the overpriced park-food
choices.
| My fish tikka set was not half-bad. In fact it was reasonable
restaurant-quality. The freshly-made fish was served with actually
quite good naan, accompanied by two sauces: one like the kind used in
butter chicken; the other, mint.

| A video of either a markhor or a mouflon pacing ridge in the distance.
It's very hard to notice.
| A video of flamingos. (Ah, this broke my streak of unidentifiable animals.)j
| A movie of what might be otters on the island. Again, they're very hard
to make out.
| A movie of a rhino, accompanied by narration.
|

|
| A movie of axis (spotted) deer.
| I think this movie is of water buffalo.
| A video of Sambar deer. The camera dips two-thirds of the way through
the movie to show that there's no fence separating the deer from the
train cart.
| A video of barasingha, a previously-endangered species of deer according
to the narration.
|

|
|
| A video of lions, complete with a quiet roar and narration about gender
roles in lion society.
| Listen to this movie of a lion clearing his throat.
| A video of clouded leopards, one relaxing and one pacing, very close to
the walkway.
| A spotted hyena up close.
|

|
|
|
| A video of a porcupine.
| Bats. The best video from the trip, meaning because I was so close to
them. The end of the video shows where a bat peed right next to me as I
recorded.
| A video of a giant flying squirrel. It didn't fly for me. :(
| A video of a giraffe, and, as I saw in the movie, zebras (in the
background).

| A video of the giraffe eating.
| The giraffe.
| A video of hippos, I think.
| A movie of tigers, with narration.

|
| This video starts with a Malayan tapir which is hard to spot without
seeing the next video to know what to look for, followed by a
what-I-think-is-a red dhole.
| A movie of Malayan tapirs.
| A movie of elephants, with narration.
| More elephants?

| A video of capybara, actually a rodent (in fact the world's largest).
| A video of gaur, a type of bovine animal.
