So today, I’m gonna talk about the zoo. This is a topic that I really like, because I’ve always liked going to the zoo. I’m from San Diego, which has one of the best zoos in the world. The San Diego’s zoo is famous for it’s animals and exhibits. I have many great memories from the zoo and I hope that I get to go again soon.

Let’s talk about the different animals that you can find at the big zoo like the San Diego’s zoo. Let’s start with the most famous animal in the zoo, the panda bear. This animal is many people’s favorite animal, including my wife. Honestly, I don’t know why so many people like pandas because they seem pretty boring to me. But I think people just find them cute and funny. They’re also popular because only certain zoos are allowed to have them. Most zoos around the world don’t have any pandas, actually. So that’s another reason why San Diego’s zoo is really famous. However, I like the other types of bears more. When I was in college, I took the animal biology class and for one of my project, I studied the sun bear. This is one of my favorite animals because it’s really a unique type of bear. It’s smaller than other bears and it spends a lot of its time climbing trees, which I think it pretty cool.

Aliright, move on the safari animals. There are elephants, lions, rhinoceroses, giraffes…and a lot of other species. These exhibits are some of the most popular on in many zoos because these animals are so iconic. Children love watching movies and reading books about the wild animals in Africa, and of course they wanna see them in the real life too. I’ve always liked the big cats animals such as: lions, but honestly they don’t do much. When you see them at the zoo, they always just lying down or sleeping. The elephants are usually more active and it’s always fun to see them swing their trucks around.

Other attractions at the zoo are the monkeys, gorillas and those types of animals. There are usually some different types of small monkeys that are energetic and playful. You can always see them swinging from tree to tree and playing with each other. The Gorillas on the other hand, they are usually calmer. But sometime they get really close to the glass and look right at you. It’s actually kind of scary because it feels like they can reach out to grab you .One other exhibit is usually pretty popular is the arctic exhibit. This is where they have the polar bears. This exhibit is way different from the other exhibits because it’s completely different climate. It’s ice, rock and cold water. Some zoos also love penguins as well which are some of the funniest animals to watch. They constantly jump in and out of the water and they get to see the cool way that they swim. Penguins are definitely some of my favorite animals.

[TFRO]

I love the cats that thay kind and beautiful💙

[shun]

I tink my favourite animal is dogs, I love dogs so much. When I was 3 or 4 I got a dog for the first time. I love them, they are so cute and loyal. But if you ask me, which animal do you want to be, I’d choose something who can fly, maybe eagle, or something. I always dreamed to fly at the sky, with clouds and don’t worry about anything.

[Ivy-z-]

My favourite animal is Brasilian otter. They're very consolidated. Also they're kinda clever and Idk how they survive in a such dangerous river like Amazon. But they don't look like hunters at all! Good luck!💞

[Temuch-vrwn]

My favourite animal is a cat because cats is very cunning. They're will come to you and let you to pet them only when they want something from you.
Also cats have graceful behaviour, like they are from royal origins, and unpredictable, variable mood.
