Visitors to Singapore zoo can meet koalas on May 20

SINGAPORE - Koalas Chan, Idalia, Pellita and Paddle from Australia will get to meet visitors from 12pm on May 20.

They were flown to Singapore on April 13 from their home in Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Brisbane and was quarantined for a month.

In line with the koalas' brief stay, young visitors will also be able to take part in two programmes. From May 30 to June 28, visitors can snap a photo at the zoo's photo illusion wall, upload it on the Koalamania website (http://www.zoo.com.sg/koala-mania/) and stand to win a family holiday to Queensland, Australia with Qantas Airways.
