The Mini Zoo
Hullo everyone!!
Today, I went to a mini-zoo thing at school! It was only six bucks for an entry, but it was definitely worth it!
There were two classrooms set up for the mini-zoo, the first room was full of reptiles and the second one was full of animals with fur! While my classmates’ names were being called over to come into the rooms, I saw a glimpse of some animals in there, and someone came out from the first room having a bright yellow snake over his neck.
I didn’t think the teachers would allow a snake to be wrapped around a child’s neck like that.
Anyway, me and my class went into the room and saw iguanas, frogs, newts and snakes! I was creeped out by the frog, and I was also confused because it was the reptile room and frogs are amphibians.
I wish there were bearded dragons in there, though.
But in the reptile room, there was a tarantula too. A boy held the tarantula and walked around the room, chasing people.
I’m fine with spiders. I’m fine with tarantulas.
JUST DON’T WAVE THEM AROUND AT ME, THEY’RE JUST SO CREEPY AND HAIRY.
I pet a snake that (I think) was a cobra and its skin was very hard, like a pangolin’s. It was actually friendly, but I didn’t want to hold it.
Then, my class went to the furry animal section, and I saw rabbits, an alpaca (poor alpaca, it’s so hot!), a baby goat, meerkats, a giant raccoon, sugar gliders, hamsters, rare squirrels, prairie dogs (they look like a cross between a capybara and a beaver), and a colourful parrot and a white cockatoo!
Most of the rabbits looked like they were made out of chocolate because of the colour of their fur, so I just picked one up and pet it.
I also attempted to become friends with the colourful parrot. It was a disaster.
Why don’t birds like me? Becoming friends with at least one bird is part of my bucket list.
How do you like my handwriting? Is it okay, and can I continue on making posts with my handwriting instead of using the computer’s support?
How was your first zoo-equivalent event at school? Was it as exciting as I thought mine was?
👏👏👏
Hahaha - love your drawing of you with the bird! And the other ones too!
