I have joined the Honey Badger Club at the Johannesburg Zoo as a birthday gift. I will now be able to visit the zoo once every month and do different activities along with Imelda , Themba and about 40 other children .
In this visit , we got to see a half a metre high pile of dead chicks and carcasses , which are dead animal remains. First ,we went to the seal enclosure to give a fish to the seal. The fish was enclosed in ice . The seal was swimming around but when the fish was dropped into the water, it flipped the fish over with it’s nose about five times before eating it. After that , we went into the caracals cage while the caracals were somewhere else , to hide meat in their enclosure for them to eat . I touched a piece of meat and it felt gooey .Then we went to the spotted ganet’s cage to put in crickets and meat for it . While a few children were in the cage I saw the ganet climbing onto the wire railing.It looked at the children nervously,like a very cute cuddly kitten.
Later we went on the ferry.While on the trip ,we got off and saw the lions and then we went on to see the tigers.I made a new friend,Miran.When she and I were done looking at the tigers,we went to see the camels.On the ground there was lots of camel fur.We both picked up some up to bring it home.After the ferry ride,we went home.
It was a very fun experience.
This seems so exciting ! to be able to go inside the animal enclosures and get the real feel of it, is something really great.

ReplyDeleteYes,it is very exciting and i do look forward to visit the zoo next month again.
This must be the most exciting experience. It will also be a great learning experience first hand and so real close to animals. Hope you enjoy and have great fun.
