Walk in Singapore

For Thanksgiving break, my family and I went to Singapore. Singapore is so beautiful with tons of wildlife that I do not see in the US. They dedicate a lot of land to preserving nature on the island. On Thursday, Nov. 24, I took a walk with my family to Windsor nature park. It was a beautiful day with 85-degree weather and the sky was cloudy when I began my walk but cleared up towards the end. It had so much greenery and some brightly colored plants. I thought I would not be able to see many animals/insects, but to my surprise, I encountered many on my walk. On the way to the park, we ran into a peacock walking through the sidewalk. You can't tell in the photo, but there were baby peacocks trailing behind the parent bird. It was surprising that the peacock was not startled by the multide of people and just casually walked by. It was really cool to see! I also spotted another bird with yellow feet that I had never seen before. These birds are examples of vertebrate species. I also saw a flying cockroach and a caterpillar. I saw several of these caterpillars all over Singapore. They both belong to the phylum Arthropoda. It was easy to spot their segmented body, exoskeleton, and appendages. It was interesting to see how different these two insects are.
