Going To The Zoo

It was a warm sunny Wednesday morning. My class and I went to the zoo. We had been trying all year to fill up our marble jar for our good behaviour.

We looked at amazing animals on our way to the meerkat enclosure. There were big rocks, sandy grounds and small tunnels in their enclosure. They looked so inquisitive, cute and cuddly. We tried to pat their soft fur, but they boldly crawled away.

There was one meerkat, furiously looking over the enclosure, looking out for any attacks.

Finally, we had to go, but two little baby meerkats came crawling over to us. They used their hands to dig holes on the ground. They looked like they were looking for treasure. After a little while, we had to leave the meerkats' enclosure to go to see the next animal.

The next animal we wanted to see was the spider monkey.
Step by step, we got closer to the spider monkeys' enclosure. Finally, we made it. They had long furry tails, colourful fur and their eyes were the size of marbles.  One monkey looked like it was meditating even though it was sleeping.There long heavy ropes and wire cages surrounding them, and big wooden poles standing in their enclosure. The monkeys were leaping onto the cage wire, sleeping and using their tails to hang onto their food.

Sadly, we had to move onto the next animal.

The last animal we saw was the Red Panda. As we got close to the Red Panda enclosure, I saw a beautiful lot of nature surrounding me. I only saw one Red Panda. It was sleeping on a leafy tree branch. The Red Panda's fur had a touch of maroon on its back, with black and white around its face and tail. It looked cute and cuddly.

After that, we had to go and get ready to leave.

When we got outside the entrance of Hamilton Zoo, I said to myself, “I had a lot of fun and, hopefully, we can come back here another day.”
