subject: Getting To Know The Different Animals Of Your Local Zoo [print this page] I've loved visiting the zoo ever since I was a young kid. Growing up in San Diego, I had access to a wonderful zoo the boasted a wide variety of animals, conveniently located in one place. I couldn't count the weekends that I spent there, fascinated by the diversity of the animals.
Even as an adult, I'm a big animal lover and I still find zoos both educational and extremely entertaining. Here are a few of my favorite animals, many of which can probably be found in your local zoo.
Dolphins always make for an entertaining show. They're fun to watch, and they're very intelligent and friendly. Dolphins are mammals, even though it doesn't seem like they would be. They love attention from humans and they're always receptive to playing.
Primates such as gorillas, monkeys, and chimpanzees are probably my favorite group of animals to see. They're so close to human beings that they make very interesting animals to watch.
These animals will crack you up with their expressive faces and humanlike mannerisms. You could watch them for hours and be entertained the whole time. They always keep me entertained and put a smile on my face.
Lastly, elephants are another one of my favorite animals to see at the zoo. These huge creatures are surprisingly intelligent and loving. I've always enjoyed watching them, and I think I always will.
Find out if your local zoo offers an elephant exhibit, and make sure to visit the exhibit if it's there. To me, elephants are one of the most interesting creatures to watch in the zoo. I could sit there and study their behaviors all day.
Whenever you find yourself at the zoo, look out for these exhibits. You'll definitely be entertained, and you might even be surprised by the intelligence of some of these animals.
