SPERM WHALE IN SINGAPORE!

Our friend Ria of Wild Singapore has very helpfully created a blogspot with all the news about the sperm whale. Check it out here: http://wildshores.blogspot.sg/2015/07/whale-in-singapore.html

We are well-known as having one of the busiest ports in the world and a lot of boat traffic, but what is not so well-known is the fact that we have abundant marine life: a fact often forgotten as it is not seen or not easy to see.
