THE WITCH NEXT DOOR

EPISODE 26

Previously :-

“There were wild animals like lions, tigers, leopards and tigresses in other enclosures. They were frightened at the roar of the lions. At the same time it was awesome to see the king of the forest. When someone moved near the enclosure, the majestic animal began to roar. Then they moved to the den of the tiger. Its flashing glare and sharp teeth filled us with fear. They also saw the elephants and bears. Then they came across a big garden in which stags and beers were frisking about. These animals were very active, sharp and smart. In one corner of the garden there was a big tree on which a large number of monkeys and baboons were jumping. Their tricks and pranks were very pleasing. Some people threw bananas at them to which they immediately tried to catch by jumping down the branches. Children were enjoying by making faces at them.

They next halted at an aquarium. There were varieties of aquatic animals and birds there. There were many species of fish. Their fidgeting in water was really very delighting. Next to this enclosure were kept polar bears who looked deserted and dejected.

Then they moved to a big tank which was full of crocodiles. These mammoth animals were very frightening. There were other water animals. Theysaw snakes like cobras and pythons. Some snakes were very fierce.

It is a variety of birds, animals, and beasts who are kept in a zoo. Rare varieties, even those brought from foreign lands are kept there. In this way, the visitors can get a sight of even such animals and beasts which they could never have seen. The lion from Africa, the kangaroo from Australia, the zebra, the polar bear, the chimpanzee, the gorilla, the white tiger, the white peacocks; the parrots of different varieties, the giant crocodiles, the huge pythons the names are innumerable all in one zoo. Where can one find to see all these in one place except in a zoo?

Zoos are keeping intact and looking after such animals and beasts, whose species are being threatened. There are about one thousand species of birds, animals, and beasts which are gradually becoming extinct nonexistent. There are various reasons for this. But even these rare varieties are still being kept and looked after in these zoos.

Zoos and their maintenance show that man has a love for animals, beasts, and birds. They are also a part of nature and man cannot ignore them, rather they give people an idea of how much variety is there in nature. Visiting a zoo brings men closer to nature, makes men develop a liking for animals, birds, and beasts. They have geographical importance as well as the visitors by watching the species brought from different lands can get an idea of how and where these animals and beasts live what is the climate and the natural habitat in which they grow.

The maintenance of a zoo is a big exercise. Animals or beasts brought from the country of a particular climate

have to be kept in the climate and temperature and surroundings that suit their original habitat. If all that arrangement is not made these animals, beasts and birds cannot survive. A chimpanzee or a gorilla should have tall trees for them to jump around, the lions or tigers should have a pool of water to cool themselves in during hot summers. Then all these animals and beasts and birds and reptiles must be served with the food of their taste and their appetite. A lion or a tiger or a leopard should have the due quantity of raw meat; a monkey or a gorilla is a vegetarian and should be fed on that diet. There are animals which should be fed on fishes; the python should have food that it needs it can devour a whole goat.”

So visiting a zoo gives the visitor not only fun but also knowledge about so many habits and taste of so many varieties of animals, beasts and birds.

A zoo has to maintain its own medical staff to the veterinary doctor who should be duly qualified and competent. Even, sometimes, surgical operations have to be performed on the animals and beasts.

The visitors, sometimes, cause a great risk to the lives of animals. They throw some eatables in plastic bags and the animals eat them along with the bag, which bag does, not get dissolved, rather gets stuck in their intestines causing even their death sometimes. The visitors to the zoos, particularly the children should be duly warned not to feed these animals in this manner otherwise what would be fun for them can become the cause of death for a rare variety of the zoo-inmate.

In this way zoos are a place to teach, to learn, to enjoy they are the places which bring men in the company of their fellows on this earth the animals, beasts, birds and so many other creatures. It tells us more and still more about God’s creation on this earth.

Visiting a zoo is a lesson in itself lesson in the variety of life that is in God’s creation. By keeping members of an endangered species in captivity, zoos create a population reservoir. They teach the public about the delicate balance between animal species and their habitats. So visiting a zoo gives the visitor not only fun but also knowledge about so many habits .

A zoo is a place that provides us an opportunity of observing different types of animals, birds, and fishes at one place. These animals, birds, and fishes are kept at different places in their own habitats in a zoo. The zoo is the best place that they can visit during our holidays with our family and friends. The visit to a zoo will surely make us feel good and help in refreshing our mood.

A zoo is a place that is well protected and is open for public visits. It consists of different types of animals residing there separately in cages on areas enclosed by steel wires. These animals live there and also breed to give birth to their young ones. This helps in increasing the number of species of that animal. They are places enriched with great natural beauty. Animals living here are living in a protected condition. It covers an area of a larger distance that encloses the small-small habitat of the animals in the zoo. It is ensured that the same conditions as of forest will be provided to the animals in the zoo.

The habitat destruction of animals by increasing the human population is the major cause of the depletion of the forests. The loss of the habitat of the animals makes them devoid of shelter as well as food. This is the reason for the extinction of different animal species in the world. A zoo is a large area in the forests that is issued by the government as the protected habitat of animals and birds. It serves for the protection of the animals and saving them from being extinct.

The children are most fascinated with animals. They love visiting the place like a zoo. It is an outing or picnic spot for the people.

I was very excited about this trip as it was going to be my first visit to a zoo. Earlier I had seen a zoo only on television or in books. It was a very good part that they visited the zoo in winters because they move around in winters for getting the warmth of the sun. During summers the animals are not seen very active outside.

They saw two chimpanzees sitting and taking the warmth of the sun. The chimpanzee was making different types of faces and postures that made us laugh. They are very intelligent and were sitting in a very good pose. They stayed there for a little longer time and enjoyed the tricks of chimpanzees. Next, they saw ostriches. They were really very tall as they had seen them in the books.

There was a lane in the zoo that was had different types of birds. I was fascinated after seeing such a good collection of birds in the zoo. They were of different colors and breeds. They saw lions and tigers too. The Lion was roaring and giving a very ferocious look. Tigers were also roaming in their enclosures. They were three in numbers and they could not distinguish between males and females. Theyalso saw three Himalayan Black bears in the zoo resting in their habitat. The white tiger looked very magnificent.

Apart from these, there is a toy train and parks with various swings meant for the children. They were in the zoo for four hours. They visited the entire zoo and were able to observe the animals closely. The zoo is a very interesting place to be visited. They can see different types of animals in the zoo. They can also see animals that cannot be spotted anywhere other than forests like Lion, Tigers, White Tiger, Bears, etc. They can observe the behavior of the different animals very closely.

They also come to know about different new animals in the zoo that are unknown to us. After visiting a zoo they feel like spending more and more time watching the different activities of the animals in the zoo. In my opinion, the zoo is one of the best places for recreation and enjoyment with our family and friends. It also gives us information about the different species of animals and birds.

I was very happy after visiting the zoo They had a great time that they spent inside the zoo. I feel like visiting the zoo again and again in my life. They must observe the animals very silently in the zoo without causing any kind of disturbance to them.
