Last weekend my parents and i went to the zoo. i have been waiting for this day all week. it was a wonderful autumn weather outside, the sun was shining, a light breeze was blowing. everyone's mood was great. at the entrance to the zoo, we bought tickets, various treats for animals and went inside.our trip began with an inspection of the cages with wolves. some of them walked around the cage and barked their sharp fangs.others slept and did not react to us. after standing a little at their enclosures, we went further. there are a lot of animals in our zoo and i wanted to see everyone with impatience.most of all i like to watch monkeys and big gorillas. the cells with them always have a lot of visitors. these are very funny and funny animals. they make loud cries, make funny faces, and ask for food all the time. someone from the crowd threw a monkey candy. she hastily began to unfold it and after a minute asked for a new one.next to the monkeys are cages with birds. each bird has its own color. some are bright, big, others are gray and completely inconspicuous. there are even birds of prey with powerful claws and a large beak. of the birds, i like peacocks the most. especially when they fluff their beautiful tail.the longest we stayed at the fence with deer. they gladly ate carrots and apples from their hands. an adult deer with large, branchy horns all the time trying to drive away small ones. they left, but returned again for their portion of food. they really liked the apples. we also fed camels, horses, llamas, donkeys, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters.we spent almost the whole day at the zoo. at the exit we were offered to make a memorable photo with a monkey. we agreed with pleasure. i love to go to the zoo and feed the animals there. i look forward to the next trip to the zoo.
