Olivia's Journal: The Berlin Zoo

Today we went to Germany to visit Leo who was an exchange student for a year. We went to the zoo, and it was raining, so there weren't many people. First, we saw a mommy elaphant with her baby only a week and a day old. Yet, he was as big as Meredith. Then we went to the place where monkeys are. My favorite was the oranatangs. [One] played with a big and kept it with him the whole time. Once he pulled the hair of a huge monkey. There was anather monkey at feeding time that got all the apples and two carrots and hit the one in the corner [to show] him what he had and ran off. Then we saw the seals. One jumped up and saw saw me for a second and jumped down. Then we saw penguins wich are my Aunt Linda's favorite animal. Then we saw the Brown Bear with white wolves. Two of them fau[gh]t [until] the zookeeper threw an apple at the bear who pushed the other bear into the water. Last we saw the polar bear being fed. He got fed bread and oranges and fish and a couple of things. It was a very fun day.

I'm so glad you got to see the penguins!! I've never seen a baby elephant. Did you take lots of pictures?

A zoo is one of the few places I don't mind going on a cold and rainy day. There are different animals that like to come out and play on cole/ rainy days. If you only go when the weather is sunny and warm you won't see how some of the animals like to act. cmc
