It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it’s dark. But if you’ve ever been to a zoo during the daytime, you might understand why this zoo is so special. A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is the best time to watch them. If you go to see lions, tigers, or foxes during the daytime, they’ll probably be asleep! At the Night Safari, you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than a normal zoo.Safari n. 旅行；狩猎远征旅行；狩猎远征 Night Safari 夜间野生动物园夜间野生动物园(新加坡新加坡)dark n. 黄昏；黑暗黄昏；黑暗 fox n. 狐狸狐狸natural adj. 自然的；自然界的自然的；自然界的environment n. 环境环境While you read While you read1.
