631 Words Free Sample Essay on a Visit to a Zoo

Zoo is a place where animals are kept and maintained for a look by the common man. Here in a zoo, birds of different varieties are also maintained.

The purpose of a zoo is, to show us, the common people all varieties of animals and birds that exist the world around people who may never be able to see these creatures get a simple chance to see them visit to the zoo.

Increases general knowledge, and at the same time, with an achievement, we also get entertainment. A zoo is a place which children specially like to visit.

Last Sunday I visited the Delhi Zoo to see the animals and birds kept in this place. The zoo is located in a very large expanse of open area. In order to keep the animals and birds, they are all provided with the natural environment which it would be living in, if it were to remain in its natural habitat.

This is to enable them to live in the unnatural circumstances in the zoo, and yet survive. They are all given the food they would eat if left to themselves, and as nature intended it to be.

We visited the entire huge expanse of the area covered by the zoo, and saw all the cages of animals and birds but, the best area I liked was, the natural habitat created for the lion.

He has a huge den like home made in a deep cave in a huge rock. Near his home, there is an open space for the lion to move about freely. Near his home there is also a huge pond filled with water for the lion to drink water.

The atmosphere created is just like the jungle we visualize to be, where the lion is supposed to live. This area gives us a very clear picture of what a jungle is, and we also find it very easy to understand the living conditions of a lion in the jungle. It teaches more than any book could, as, we see the lion itself and the surroundings as they are.

The other area of the zoo that I liked was the setting made for the monkeys of different kinds and sizes and colours. Some are black and skin colour while others are just plain skin colour.

I do wonder why most of the children visiting the zoo were crowding at this area. It appeared as though the monkey was a huge attraction for all of them. I also liked the area very much, and we had a lot of fun in this place.

It was such fun seeing all size monkeys jumping from tree to tree with such ease. We humans say that fat people cannot be active and fast, but, the monkeys there belied this concept.

Huge very-very fat monkeys were seen jumping with as much ease as the small young and thin ones. How they ate the nuts and fruits thrown to them by the children was the most interesting sight to watch.

The area earmarked for the birds was also very interesting and, I’d say quite a treat to the eyes. It was a great wonder to see and understand how great a variety of birds God has created all simultaneously. Beautiful colourful tiny birds, big brown ugly birds, and the kind of a peacock were a real treat to the eyes. I was simply wonder struck to realise how God could create so much all at once. Seeing the zoo simply infused in me the admiration for the Creator more than ever before.

My visit to the zoo was great fun and with it, it was also very educative and informative. A zoo helps us to learn so much without visiting the natural habitats of animals and birds.
