WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE AS SINGAPORE KNOWS TOO WELL WITH ITS MAN MADE ANIMAL BRIDGE ACROSS THE BUSY HIGHWAY BKE ALLOWING ANIMALS TO CROSS FROM BUKIT TIMAH NATURE RESERVE TO THE CENTRAL CATCHMENT NATURE RESERVE

There are no signs, and no, the animals don’t read maps. But somehow, they have found their way to a 50m-wide bridge in the centre of a 2,000ha reserve.

"A lot of people were very sceptical - there is a whole long stretch of BKE, will the animals be able to find it?" said Ms Sharon Chan, who oversees the team managing the eco-link project.
Ms Chan, deputy director at NParks, said the team was extremely excited when camera traps captured footage of pangolins and palm civets using the link to cross between the Bukit Timah and Central Catchment nature reserves in October 2014.

Take the common palm civet, also called the musang or toddy cat, which is known for its odorous scent and taste for palm sap. More than one has been captured on cameras crossing the link every month, Ms Chan said.

The bridge, which was built just for animals, connects the 163ha Bukit Timah Nature Reserve to the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, which is Singapore’s largest at more than 2,000ha.
