In the next enclosure were kept lions and leopards,
tigers arid tigresses whose roaring were deafening. We approached the net, a
lion rushed towards us and we were frightened. Their fierce looks were
frightening for us. After seeing this, we came across a garden in which stags
and deer were frisking about. These animals were really very smart and
beautiful. In one of the corners of the garden, there was a huge tree on which
monkeys and baboons were jumping. Their tricks and pranks were very pleasing.
Some people threw food grains to them and they immediately jumped down the
trees in order to eat them. Some children were making faces at them.
Our next halt was at an aquarium in which we were
most interested. A large number of the aquatic birds were kept there. There
were fish of many species and colors. To see them fidgeting in water was really
a delightful spectacle. There were many other aquatic animals. Just by the side
of the enclosure we came across polar bears that looked sad and deserted.
It was the place of black bear which attracted a
mammoth gathering. The bear was playing many tricks which thrilled the spectators.
Some people offered him eatables which he gulped at once.
The zoological parks are so vast that it is very
difficult to describe all the departments and enclosures were well cleaned.
When we took a complete round of the zoo, we relaxed for some time in a cool and
beautiful garden inside the zoo. The fragrance of the flowers was tremendously
soothing. Then we had some snacks and drinks which refreshed us much. It was
evening and the sun was setting. We came out of the zoo like many other
visitors. We boarded the bus while casting our last and lingering look on the
zoo which is surrounded on one side by the old but majestic wall of the garden,
which no doubt, added to the beauty and grandeur of the zoo.
