CHESTER ZOO
By Sawyer and Savannah Grizzard
First we got on the bus to the train station, where we got a direct train to Chester. After we got off the train, we saw a free bus outside the train station that goes to the Chester bus station, which is exactly where we were going to go anyway. After we got to the bus station, we got on the bus to the Chester Zoo, which is, obviously, where we were going.
When we got to the zoo, we got our tickets to allow us in without breaking the law. When we got in (legally), we went to the Elephant thing. After that, we went to the monorail to get us to the important stuff. On the way, we saw cheetahs, lions, cranes, bats, ostriches, many different species of deer, monkeys, and other things with such weird names that no one I know knows how to pronounce them, such as sitatunga (even the computer doesn’t know that it exists!).
When we got off the monorail, we saw some more animals that we never knew existed(and some we did know existed that we didn’t expect would be there). We saw things like Giant otter, which make the most horrible, high-pitched noise, Chimpanzees, Orangutans, Gibbon monkeys, a Burmese Python -- the longest snake in the WORLD, iguanas, huge turtles, big fish, penguins, mongoose, lemurs, tropical birds, flamingos, camels, onagers, snakes, tigers, warthog, and even Komodo Dragons! And near the end, we went in this place that shows you how zoo vets take care of the animals. At the vet place we scanned stuffed monkeys’ wrists that have microchips to show who they are when scanned, listened to heart beats, and saw how the vets check the animals’ blood temperature. After that we went back to the entrance. We had a really Great time!
Daddy’s Halloween note: We forgot to take our camera to the zoo, but we do have some pictures from Halloween the night before. They do trick or treating here, but it is actually seen as more of an American tradition. Probably half the houses in our neighborhood gave out candy, but I think we managed to hit all of them. In case you can’t tell, Savannah went as a cat, and Sawyer went as a disgusting zombie killer (not killer of zombies, mind you, we’re very proud).
