A humorous video shot in a park in Singapore has recently gone viral on social media. In the video, some content creators deliberately call various animals and landscapes in the park by the wrong names to create funny situations. However, the main attraction of this video is not just humor but also giving a glimpse of the rich biodiversity hidden within the city.
The Correct Identity of Nature
In the video, they refer to snakes as Eel fish. Similarly, the small creatures in the water are called ‘tadpoles,’ but in reality they are small fish or larvae. Thus, despite the use of wrong names throughout the video, it becomes a unique mix of entertainment and awareness for the viewers.
In the video, it is also seen that a squirrel is referred to as a monkey, and a lake is called the Atlantic Ocean. An ant was being called a ribbon, and a bluebird was being called a parrot.
Beyond the Humour
Although these comments are purely for humor, in reality, the presence of monkeys, birds, fish and other small animals is very common in Singapore’s parks. Although at the end of the video they talk about seeing a ‘bear,’ it is just a joke, because there are no wild bears in Singapore. Many believe that this type of content helps to increase interest in nature among city dwellers.
The names of the animals used in the video were mainly sarcastic. In reality, the animals seen there were snakes, local birds, small fish, and ants. In addition, some insects can also be seen near the water’s edge.
Hidden Nature in the City
Many people see Singapore as a concrete city. However, this video shows that there is an extraordinary presence of nature even in the city. Parks, reserves and wetlands are home to a variety of animal species. As a result, citizens can easily get close to nature. Such videos encourage people to get out and enjoy nature. It also has a positive impact on mental health.
Entertainment and Awareness
Although the video is primarily made for laughs, it also has an educational aspect. By using wrong names, the curiosity of the viewers increases. Then they try to find out the real information. In this way, it is possible to create awareness through entertainment. This is an effective method, especially for the younger generation.
