We had first learnt about the animals in Africa. We had learn about giraffes, zebras and ostrich. We learnt that an ostrich can run up to 70 mph (miles per hour). They are heavy and they have not much feathers which are the reasons why they cant fly. The tallest giraffe in the zoo was 15 feet. The giraffes have a blue tongue because the blue toungue helps them not have a burnt tongue.
We then got to see the meercats. They have a communication system. We then got to see the lions which were having lunch. A lions night vision is 8x better than humans night vision. We then got to see the rhinos which are pretty big. They have horns which are made out of finger nail like material. When we saw the zebras we saw a little zebra right next to the mum because zebras have a pretty close relationship.
Next we saw Flamingos and found out that their knees are at the waist, and their ankles are where the knees normally are. We later saw Asian Elephants, specifically Burmese Elephants from the Sri Lanka Region.
After we went exploring around the zoo. We went through the whole of the Africa Region, the Australia Region where we got to see Wallabys, turtles, and more. We went to parts of the South America region looking at monkeys and more.
