The zoo I hung out with my friend June yesterday. At first we'd like to go shopping but June said that the zoo had some new animals and flowers. I hadn't been there for ages and really curious about what kind of animals they have. So we went to the zoo. I remember the first time I came to this zoo was 6 or 7. I was very yong at that time, and quite excited about visiting the zoo. In my memories, the zoo was extremely large. I almost couldn't reach the end. But things changed since I grow up, this time I felt it's not a big zoo at all. I even wondering if this zoo was the same one I had visited before. The zoo has many kinds of animals, some rare ones like alpaca, lesser panda, seal, giraffe,raccoon, llama and some more common animals like tiger, lion, wolf monkey and crane. I liked llama most. They were just so adorable! There were only two there, and I guess one was a boy another was a girl. They were not like other animals stand far away from people but walked close and looked at me. Very gentle eyes, just like water waving when they were blinked. They moved close, and would like to eat everything! June's umbrella almost became their food. And giraffe. The tongue of it was soft, strong and flexable. It looked like eating when they were drinking. I really had no idea why they need to be that strenuous to drink. After they drinked, some water leaked from his mouth. The poorest animal was the wolf. They'd like to drink but the basin was empty. They can do nothing but to walk around the cage again and again. Juned said to me," won't they felt even thirster then before? Walking will cost their energy and water too." Maybe the wolf didn't like human, they couldn't speak, couldn't make people understand them. So they have too walk around to make people notice them. But it had no use, no zoo keepers came. I start to feel sorry about the animals. If they were living in their hometown, at least they could drink and walk and jump and go wherever they'd like to be. But now, they were in the cage. No freedom, even not enough water. On the other hand, if there is no zoo in the world, we couldn't have a chance to stand so close to the rare animals. We will have no chance to observe them. It's really a very complex thing and hard to tell whether have zoos are right or wrong.
