Let’s talk about Singapore wildlife woo!!
As a city with lots of greenery, animals can be found everywhere across the place. When you find a moderately-sized lizard (invasive unfortunately), or perhaps a wasp nest on a random sign, you know they did something right.
With a similar climate compared to Hong Kong, you can find some familiar faces, such as this Okinawa mud wasp.
However, the native wildlife for the most part, is completely different. Check out this wasp moth (close relatives can still be found in HK) and stingless bee. Maybe even a wandering glider, or an amorphoscelis mantis.
Common birds include the zebra dove, spotted dove, house crow and javan myna (I don’t like them).
Also saw a collared kingfisher and a peacock (invasive).
There are actually 2 species of monitor in Singapore: the Asian water monitor and the clouded monitor, which I unfortunately didn’t get the chance to meet, maybe when I come back here later…
