This video shows an ecosphere that seems easy to set up. Just grab some seawater and plants and hope something grows. I guess the guy was lucky enough to catch a baby crab which grew quite big.



And then you have the more pro guys who can build mini forests with mist. Amazing.

Just wondering if there are any here in Jurong West. Can share more pics and vids if you don't mind. Big Smile]]>

Most of these pet abandonment cases involve cats. 

I think it's partly because cats are technically not allowed as pets in HDB units, so when cat owners living in HDB get "caught" by government officers, they have little choice but to abandon the cats. So if you're thinking of getting a pet cat, please take into consideration the possibility of getting caught.

While it's true that many abandoned cats still get taken care of by cat lovers in the neighbourhood, it costs a lot of money for them to do so. Additionally, abandoned cats face the risk of getting eaten by wild dogs or pythons. Sad

Having a pet is wonderful but just remember that it comes along with its own responsibilities and costs.]]> TODAY reports a rise in pet abandonment in the past 5 years

He was named after Bob the Minion because like the cartoon character, Bob the otter is kinda chunky.

In this video, you can see Bob struggling to reach food pellets placed on his back because of how chunky he is.  Heart



Bob also has a very short and fat tail. The next video compares his tail to Oage's. (Oage is another male otter living in the cafe. He's a big part of Bob's backstory.)

Firstly, it's amazing how the orang-utan managed to learn how to drive the golf cart. The video seems real as its steering matches up with the direction of the golf cart.

Secondly, why does it drive like so many uncles? Laugh]]>

If you've seen the otters that roam in our parks and canals, you'll know how expressive and mischievous they can be.
