Herpetology Night Walk with Dr. Evan Quah
Dr. Evan Quah is a herpetologist with over a decade of experience working with amphibians and reptiles in Southeast Asia. He is a long-time collaborator of TSG and has conducted numerous night walks over the years and is skilled at detecting some of the elusive nocturnal denizens of the gardens.
Come join us for a leisurely stroll at the Garden where you will have a chance to observe and learn about some of the nocturnal denizens that call the grounds home such as bats, frogs and a variety of invertebrates. If you are lucky enough, you may even get a chance to spot Sunda Flying Lemurs, snakes and civets! This will be a great introduction for those who have never experienced wildlife spotting at night. This is a family-friendly activity.
