Singapore (Singapura) is a small island city-state at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, covering about 284 square miles (735 km²) across one main island and more than 60 smaller ones. Its busy harbor is one of the largest ports in the world, yet patches of rainforest, mangroves and green parks are woven right through the city.

Its most famous natural landmark is Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, a rare patch of ancient rainforest inside a modern city. Bukit Timah Hill is also the highest point, at only about 538 feet (164 m). The Merlion, a mythical creature with a lion's head and a fish's body, is the city's best-known symbol.

Migrating shorebirds and saltwater crocodiles visit the mangroves of Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, and long-tailed macaques and colugos live in the forests around the central reservoirs. The Singapore Botanic Gardens, founded in 1859 and home to one of the world's largest orchid collections, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Did You Know? Wild smooth-coated otters returned to Singapore in the late 1990s, and today more than 170 of them live in family groups along the city's rivers, canals and beaches.
