Auckand Zoo

On Monday GlenInnes went to the Auckland Zoo. 

Yesterday morning years four, five and six went to the zoo to look at the amazing animals. We all started walking towards the bus, while we were walking the grass was muddy.

When we were all inside the bus, we all sat down on the seats waiting to get there. When we got there we all went into the zoo entrance. When we entered we saw three zoo educators, there was one girl and two boys their names were John, Frazer and Kirsty. John and Frazer are twin brothers John said that “ Everybody always gets their names wrong because they can’t tell which is which “ then Frazer said “ The more quiet you are the more animals you see “. After what Frazer said there was a peacock  talking we had morning tea. We were eating in the front of the wall.After we aet we all got split into groups, there was four groups  with one or two teachers to help.

Our first zoo helper was Kirsty, she took us to see the tuataras. When we got there she said that “ Most of them a camera flagged into their habitat. When we were walking towards the door Kirsty said “ Make sure you close the door before we open another” so we did. She said that because the animals we see might go out and the next thing you know is that everyone is screaming.

One of the animals that we saw was a Kea, a Kea is a type of bird that is brownish. The biggest one is more likely the boss. The other Keas are like the slaves, they get the food and chew it and swallow it.

We saw the Blue ducks, it doesn’t mean if it’s named Blue duck it’s the colour of it. Here is a photo that has information on it about the Blue duck you may not see it properly. Here is a picture of the Blue duck, it’s not a real one it’s made out of cardboard.

We saw the lions we got there and we saw only females. When we were there we saw a rope hanging of the tree. We saw a lion eating a massive bone, because one of the zookeepers put the bone there for the lion to eat. When you are there, there a Meerkats at the back of you. When you're at the Meerkats there is a tunnel you can go under and it gives you a better view of the Meerkats. At the back of you there is a old school and toilets, there is also a old motorbike and cycle.

After we finished looking at the amazing animals we took a photo infront of the tintd elephant:

I had a very good and exciting day at the Auckland Zoo looking at the amzing animals that are so beautiful.
