Three's not a crowd when it comes to baby leopards. On Friday (Jan 23), Mandai Wildlife Reserve announced that one of their rare Sri Lankan leopards had given birth to a litter on New Year's Day at the Singapore Zoo. «Sri Lankan leopards are Vulnerable (under the IUCN Red List) in the wild, making the births extra meaningful,» the wildlife park operator wrote in a Facebook post. «These little ones help keep the global zoo population healthy and ensure the species has a safer future.»The accompanying video shows three tiny cubs squeaking as their mother licks them clean. The Sri Lankan leopard subspecies has been listed as Vulnerable since 2020, with the wild population estimated at less than 800 mature individuals and their numbers likely decreasing. While the cubs at the Singapore Zoo are not out and about just yet, they can be seen via a live camera feed at the leopard exhibit.[embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/DT0BjrRE3Ch/[/embed]The Straits Times reported that the last time a leopard had given birth at the Singapore Zoo was 29 years ago in 1997.
Speaking Singlish doesn't mean Singaporeans are bad at English. TikTok influencer Nini posted a video in defence of the creole on Monday (Jan 19), stating: «In fact, everyone really misunderstands Singaporeans. »At various occasions, the English they use can be converted [into standard English]. They use Singlish in their daily lives because Singlish is easy to understand.«The Singapore-based Chinese content creator who uses the TikTok handle _k_yn added that Singaporeans did not have to speak a long sentence for it to be comprehensible. Instead of a long spiel like, »Put your wallet away, the bill is on me,« a Singaporean can say: »I pay, I pay. No need, I pay.« Likewise, instead of holding up the queue at a coffee shop by asking, »Excuse me, auntie, can I have a cup of kopi C kosong? Thank you«, a simple »Auntie, kopi C kosong" would suffice.Nini added that the notion of Singaporeans being unintelligible to non-Singaporeans is another misunderstanding, as they can code-switch.
