My Visit to the Zoo

I really love animals, I watch animal documentaries on Television whenever I can. At home we have many different types of animals – we have dogs, cats, fish and even a rabbit. My Daddy noticed how much I love animals so he planned a surprise trip to the Zoo for me, my siblings and my cousins.

The day we went to the Zoo was the 29th of November, 2020, it was a Sunday. We thought we were just going to visit some of our extended family members in Ikija in Ogun State but instead, my dad stopped at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) Wildlife Park in the heart of Abeokuta, Ogun State. We were all so excited to be there. My dad went into the reception office and bought all our tickets and we were set.

As we were walking into the Zoo, the first animals I noticed were the monkeys in the trees – there were so many of them and they were all different ages. The older monkeys just watched us as we walked by sitting quietly in the trees, the younger ones were much more agile – jumping from tree to tree, sometimes they even came down from the trees and walked alongside us, I would have loved to feed them but I didn’t have any bananas. My favourite monkeys were the mothers and their babies, I loved seeing how they took care of them.

The next animals I saw were reptiles – I saw snakes and alligators. It was interesting being so close to animals that I had only seen on television in real life. The snakes and the alligators were very quiet animals, it looked like they were resting when we saw them – so we didn’t want to disturb them. I enjoyed walking through the Zoo a lot, I just never knew which animal I would see next. I was really looking forward to seeing the Lion, and finally, I got to see one. He was very majestic and was eating when we were watching him so when we came close he roared which scared me but I realized I didn’t have to be afraid because he was in an enclosed, safe area and couldn’t hurt us. There was a Zoo guide with our family as we walked through the Wildlife Park, he told us the names of the different animals we saw, the foods they like to eat and what their typical habitat in nature looked like. We also saw leopards, hyenas and wild pigs, it was a very interesting, exciting day.

My Dad, my siblings, my cousins and I all went to the rest area to buy snacks because we were hungry. The rest area had a couple of different types of birds – peacocks, ostriches and parrots. We got to watch these beautiful birds as we ate our lunch, it was all so much fun.

I ended up falling asleep in the car on the ride back home to Lagos, I was very tired after the exciting day I had at the Zoo. It was so wonderful getting to see wildlife animals in real life and getting close to them. I am so grateful to my Dad for taking us all there and I can’t wait to go to the Zoo again but this time it will be just me and my Dad.
