Take a closer look at the rocks and tree snags encrusted with limpets and barnacles which are yummy cuisine for the pretty Spiral Melongena Snail.
See if you can spot an Onch Slug and various Sea Snails. In the deeper waters, the beautiful Mangrove Whipray and other fish have been spotted. Find Purple Climber Crabs, Thunder Crabs, Rock Oysters, Drills and Bead Anemones at the breakwater.

Punggol Beach Intertidal Walk, 23 April 2022
Punggol Beach, while tucked away, in the northeastern region of Singapore, is home to much marine life which gets exposed at low tides. Take the chance to witness the explosion of colours in sponges – orange, blue, champagne, purple and green. Friends of Spongebob perhaps? They are nestled in the beach’s rocky area and also host to Brittle Stars.
Eager to find Mister Krabs? Look for Thunder Crabs, Flower Crabs, Purple Climber Crabs and of course Hermit Crabs. Try to spot the shy Onch Slug, which might be invisible to your eyes as it camouflages amidst the algae.
Other lifeforms encrusting the rocks include tiny mussels, fan worms, rock oysters and barnacles. Check out the hard corals, sea urchins, ascidians, clams, drills and more!
Dates & Times:
23 April (Saturday), 9.00 am to 11.00 am
Sign up here.
Mandai Forest Night Walk
Ever wondered about the actual wilderness surrounding the Zoo? Mandai Forest will surprise man with its own nocturnal wonders. See Sambar Deer feeding, Lesser Mousedeer trotting gingerly in search of fallen fruits, find Colugos and bats feasting. Their presence is revealed only with glowing eye shine. Use your sharp eyes to spot other creatures like Drogs, Rats, Rachers and Rat Snakes.
If there is plenty of rain during that time, there will be bioluminescent mushrooms sprouting in small clusters and we may even spot Long-tailed and Dwarf Wood Scorpions as they fluoresce alongside gorgeous hues of reds, yellows and purples by plants, lichens, fungi and insects. Join in for a good dose of forest magic!
Dates & Times:
30 April (Saturday), 2 May (Monday), 10 June (Friday), 7.15 pm to 9.15 pm
Head into the darkness here.
