Step into the world of pangolins at Night Safari with A Pangolin’s Tale and get to know these elusive mammals through a series of visual and experiential activities that will take place from 28 October to 31 December 2021. Meet Berani, one of the rescued Sunda pangolins rehabilitated by Mandai Wildlife Group. In 2018, Berani underwent a first-of-its-kind orthopaedic surgery to treat a fractured hind femur sustained in a road-related incident. He has made an astounding recovery since and can now be found nimbly navigating trees and vines in his new exhibit along Leopard Trail.

Then, follow Berani’s virtual counterpart in a quest to discover hidden Augmented Reality (AR) animals along the walking trails and complete challenges on the Animal Quest app. The mission? To learn more about these wonderful creatures of the night and join the fight against extinction. Trace the footsteps of Kirra the explorer through a Virtual Reality (VR) movie as she goes on a quest across continents in search of the Sunda pangolin and comes into contact with other wildlife in their natural habitats along the way. The Journey with Pangolin Experience at Night Safari’s East Lodge is available for a $15 top up online or on-site and comes with other interactive experiences including a chance to colour your own illustration and watch it come to life in a digital installation.
