Today I'm going to talk about Japanese zoo Top 3!  There are a lot of zoo in Japan. I checked some website writing about ZOO and found ranking in zoo. Top 3 zoo have their distinctive characteristics. Enen adults can enjoy them, I think. Please listen to it. Thank you!

前回、日本の動物園のゾウが減っている話をしました。　日本にはいろんな動物園があります。ネットで検索したところ、人気ベスト３にあがっていたのは、北海道の旭山動物園、東京の上野動物園、和歌山のアドベンチャーワールドでした。　それぞれの動物園の見どころですが、人気ナンバーワンの旭山動物園では、冬期限定でペンギンの散歩を見ることができます。これは毎年のようにニュースで報道されていて、ペンギンがよちよち歩く姿がかわいくて、とても人気があります。　人気ナンバー2の上野動物園は1882年に開園した歴史ある動物園です。2021年には赤ちゃんパンダ、シャオシャオとレイレイが生まれて、人気者になっています。動物園の公式サイトでは、赤ちゃんパンダの成長記録を見ることができます。とてもかわいいです。
そして、ナンバー3のアドベンチャーワールドにはサファリパークがあり、専用のカートに乗って、檻の中ではない、より自然な状態の動物を見ることができるそうです。ここの動物園はパンダの飼育数が日本で一番多く、パンダにおやつをあげたり記念撮影を撮ることができる「パンダラブツアー」があるそうです。　私はまだ行ったことがありませんが、一度は行ってパンダに好物の笹をあげたいです。
それから、全国的にはあまり有名ではないかもしれませんが、私が子どものころによく行った動物園は、神戸市立王子動物園です。　ここは、正面の門から園内に入ると、一番に私たちを出迎えてくれるのがゾウです。それから、パンダのエリアがあります。ふれあい広場もあって、ウサギやヒツジ、モルモットなどの小さな動物たちに　餌を上げたり触ったりできます。ほかにも約130種類の動物たちが大切に飼育されています。
春には、園内の桜が咲きます。　桜が満開になるのに合わせて、夜桜をライトアップするイベントが行われます。そのときは、無料で園内の桜を見ることが出来ます。今年は、4月の2日から4日の3日間行われます。　何とか時間を作って、見に行きたいものです。　今回は日本の動物園を紹介しました。

8 datos asombrosos que no sabía sobre Colombia l 8 amazing facts you didn't know about Colombia

Have you ever been so confused you didn't know what to do or say? If so, you might find these words helpful.

If you're shocked by something, you can say you are "flabbergasted." No one knows where this word comes from, but it might come from "aghast," which means "horrified."

So if you got home and found that everything you own had been stolen, you might say, "I'm flabbergasted that they were able to steal everything without being seen!"

If something is very complicated and confusing, you can say you are "bewildered." This word probably comes from "to wilder," an old word that means "to make someone become lost."

So if the police were not able to find out anything about what happened, they might say, "We're bewildered — we have no idea who took your things."

Another word that could be used is "flummoxed," which also means "confused." People don't know for sure, but it may have come from "flummock," an old word that meant "to make untidy or confuse."

So you could say to the police, "I'm just as flummoxed as you are — I can't understand how they could have stolen everything."

If something is difficult to understand, you can say it's "perplexing," or makes you feel "perplexed." So the police might say, "I'm sorry, but we might not be able to find your things. This is a very perplexing case!"
