Wildlife in Dairy Farm Nature Park
Forest next to Bukit Timah
A small nature park of secondary forest beside Bukit Timah, used by Singapore's National Parks Board for bat research. During a 2022 day trip a harp trap here caught Glossy Horseshoe Bats and a Bicoloured Roundleaf Bat, and a short walk after dark found a Sunda Colugo, Lesser Mouse-deer and Eurasian Wild Boar. Trapping needs a permit and the park is closed at night, so go with a guide or park staff.
