Last Sunday it was very cloudy. My friends and I visited the zoo. As we reached near the main gate of the zoo, we saw a huge crowd. Some persons 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. Looking at the white ducks on the smooth surface of water is a charming delight. As we moved, we came enclosure in which flying birds were kept. The birds were chirping. It was an enchanting music. We enjoyed it very much.
In the next enclosure, there were lions and leopards, tigers and tigresses whose roars were deafening. We approached the net. Their fierce looks were frightening. After seeing them, we came across a garden in which stags and deer were frisking about. These animals were really very smart and attracting. In one of the corners of the garden, there was a huge tree on which monkeys and baboons were jumping. Some people threw foodgrains to them and they immediately jumped down the tree in order to eat them. Their tricks and pranks were very pleasing.
Our next halt was at an aquarium in which we were most interested. A large number of aquatic birds were kept there. To see them fidgeting in water was really a delightful spectacle. Just by the side of this enclosure, we came across polar bears that looked sad and deserted.
The zoological park is so vast that it is very difficult to describe all the departments and enclosures fully. After taking 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 now and the sun was setting. We came out of the zoo. I shall always remember my thrilling experience in the zoo.
