A Visit To A Zoo

I was going to Faizabad with my father. I expressed my desire to see the zoo at Lucknow on the way. He agreed and we got down at Lucknow. He deposited our luggage in the cloakroom.

After taking our bath and heavy refreshment we hired a tonga and reached the zoo. We bought our tickets and entered the zoo. As we entered the compound, we saw a small house surrounded by a wire net. Inside it, we saw a number of snakes of all sizes and colors. For the first time in my life, I saw a grey snake as thin as a small finger. There were snakes called pythons. They seemed to be two or three quintals heavy.

Then we saw a tank full of all kinds of colored fish. They were leaping about and swimming beautifully in the clear water. In another tank, we saw small hills and rocks on which a crocodile was basking. It got down and disappeared in the water. There were many crocodiles on the land. Some were dozing. Some were taking rest under the tree.

We also saw many kinds of birds of all kinds and colors. The ostrich was as large as the camel. There was a large number of bright red little robins. They were singing. It was all a beautiful scene. I saw many kinds of monkeys also they were black, white and red, big and small. The peacocks were dancing merrily. There were white peacocks. It belongs to Japan. It was my first chance to see a white peacock. There were many kinds of monkeys and parrots – very small and very big like a kite.

Then   I saw the deer and rhinoceros. The rhinoceros was a big animal with heavy thick skin. He was surrounded by the iron bars. In fact, all the animals in a cage were surrounded by a bar fence.

The most interesting thing was the wonderful sight of tigers moving about freely in the open behind the enclosures. Their place was surrounded by a broad ditch of water. So we had nothing to fear. We also saw the King of the forest, the lion. I had never seen a lion before. So I was wondered and frightened. The lion had a brown color. His body was bare but he had long hair on his neck. His head was large and the eyes were bright and shining. Sometimes he yawned and showed his large teeth and a big mouth. I saw many other wild beasts like the panther, the leopard, and others whose names I could not know. I read the labels on every door and knew what animals there were.

We returned to the station with a lasting impression on our minds. Now we’re had to go to Faizabad with a memory. It was a new experience. It was learning without a classroom. It increased my knowledge. Everybody must see the zoo when it is possible.

The Zoo Animal I Like Most

or

The Lion

A zoo is a place where different kinds of animals are kept. I have been to the zoological park in Delhi several times and I have liked most of the animals and even birds such as lions, tigers, deer, monkeys,  bears, wolves, apes, chimpanzees, rhinoceroses, zebras, kangaroos, yaks,  parrots, crows, sparrows, pigeons, cranes, storks, doves cuckoos,  nightingales, swallows, sea-gulls, skylarks. etc.

I don’t think it will be rude on my part if I name a particular among all these animals and birds which I like most. And when I name this animal, all may not accept my choice to be an ideal one.

It must be admitted that the linking of things and creatures is always individual and may not always be much explained or even if explained,  such explanations given may not always sound convincing.

Now, breaking all suspense, I must declare that I like the lion most. I need not remind anybody that the lion is proverbially known as the king of the forest. As such, it is a wild animal who detests being kept in chains. In spite of this, the lion is there caged in the zoo behind them, steel bars as if it were a ruthless murderer or a criminal who has committed some heinous crime. What foil this sacrifice by a king, maybe the king of the forest? Only for the recreation, amusement, and entertainment of human beings like me.

So, I must be full of gratitude to the lion for his being in the zoo for me or for the likes of me. Even otherwise, the lion has a dignified demeanor. It has a large head and large mouth with sharp teeth. A thick long mane of hair hangs from its neck. It has a large body. It is generally of golden color though a few white lions are also there in the world. It has strong paws. It eats the flesh of other animals. Other animals are afraid of it. When it roars, it sends a shudder through their frames.

One Sunday, I went to see the Delhi Zoo with my family. We bought the tickets and entered the gate. The animals were leading a natural life there.

There were many birds and animals. My brother and I were surprised to see so many birds and animals. The birds were chirping in different notes and making a lot of noise.

The ducks, swans, and some other birds were swimming in the pond. Some animals were kept in cages. We saw a white peacock there.

Fierce animals like tigers, lions, leopards, were roaring in their cages. There was a white tiger too. What a beautiful tiger that was!

The zoo is very big. We felt tired and sat down under a tree and ate food. At 5 P.M. we again started our round of the zoo.

The deer and monkeys were playing. An elephant was eating sugarcane. There was a chimpanzee sitting in a cage. We shook hands with him.

I gathered much knowledge about the animals. In the evening we came back home. The visit to the zoo will always be remembered by me.

Visit to A Zoo

Visits to zoos are always informative and enjoyable. Not only does it refresh the tired mind it also adds to one’s knowledge.

It is no wonder that children love going to zoos. I along with my class-mates went to visit the Delhi Zoo last weekend. It is situated on Mathura Road on the grounds of the old fort.

This zoo has a large pond. Many water birds like ducks, cranes, and swans use it as their home. During the rainy season, their calls can be heard far and wide. However, at any given time they are a sight to the sore eyes.

The cages of monkeys were nearby. They were full of Rhesus monkeys, langoors, and baboons. They were chattering and eating grams that were thrown by the people. Scientists have traced human ancestry back to these monkeys. It was therefore not surprising that we come across many human beings, who stood before these cages and behaved like monkeys.

Next came the aquariums. They house many colorful fishes like goldfish, balloon fish, electric eel, etc. These colorful fishes are very beautiful to look at. A large crowd of people gathers during the noon hours to witness the feeding of the fishes every day.

The air was full of bird songs that emanated from the large cages of the birds. These cages contained parrots, hornbills, partridges, pigeons, etc. Each species of the bird had a different cage of its own.

After walking some distance we came across the cages of foxes and hyenas. And last, of all we saw the tigers and lions, prowling about majestically in their vast cages. On the way back we saw a variety of deer, bison, zebra, giraffe, and reindeer. They were eating grass standing in large groups. Our visit was crowned by the dance of the peacock, who had smelled rain and therefore was expressing its joy.
