Lok Kawi Wildlife Park : A Place To Love

TRAVEL . TRAVEL . TRAVEL




Ever since I was a kid, it has been my dream to see all kinds of animals! 
I have this wide array of toys of different sizes piled in a used huge biscuit container. 
My mom also bought us an alphabet of animals which I used to memorize from A-Z.
I never miss out A and N in playing P.A.N.T.S (Places, Animals, Name, Thing and Score).

Our last stop before heading Labuan Island is Lok Kawi Wildlife Park.




This is something that you should not miss if you are in Kota Kinabalu.
For Non Malaysian, adult entrance is only RM20.00 or $6.50.
This is one of the largest wildlife parks in Malaysia.
For 280 acres, animals here are placed in a huge space were they freely move, run and have fun just like in a playground.
Inside the zoo there is an Aviary which shelters a wide variety of birds and a botanical garden where you can find a Rafflesia, Pitcher plants, orchids and a lot more.




Here are few fascinating animals inside the Zoo.


The Albino Python..i get to kiss this snake, they say it brings good luck.



Peacock 

Bornean Pygmy Elephant -Smallest Elephant in the World!

Sun Bear

Malayan Tiger or the Harimau Belang which means: Striped Tiger

The most intelligent primate: Bornean Orangutan -using the rope as her necklace.
