Last Sunday it was cloudy. Along with my friends
visited the zoo. As reached near the main gate of the zoo, we saw a huge crowd.
Some were buying entrance tickets. Some were gossiping and chatting while
others were relaxing under the shady trees.
We entered the zoological garden and came across a
beautiful lake in which some water-birds like ducks were swimming. Seeing the
white ducks on the smooth surface of water is a charming sight. As we moved, we
came to the enclosure in which flying birds (fowls) were kept. They ranged from
sparrows. Eagles and parrots to pigeons of various colors. The birds were
chirping. It was an enchanting music. We enjoyed it very much.
In the next enclosure were kept lions and leopards,
tigers arid tigresses. Whose roaring's 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 fully. 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.
