Before the sem break, kit say he wanna go to the zoo. So, we met up today together with another classmate and set out for the Melbourne Zoo which is about 15 mins tram ride away from the city. The weather wasn't good and it was raining and windy most of the time. It was still worth the trip because most of the animals we see today are pretty active unlike the usual ones that we see in other zoos. We were met by the lions the minute we enter the zoo.

We saw many animals along the way like seals, tigers, birds and we saw these little fellows huddling together trying to stay warm because its really quite cold today. Then, the zoo keeper came and it was feeding time. They rush towards the food and you see them all in action. It was quite a sight.

I was so happy to enter this room. Firstly, it was warm as butterflies need a rather warm place to survive. Secondly, i get to see so many different species of butterflies flying all around me. I think everyone knows i'm crazy about them. And you could practically touch them and take pictures that are really really close up.

There were also boxes that held caterpillars munching their life away at these fresh green leaves. Can you find the caterpillar in the pic below?

Isn't mother nature amazing. Wrapping themselves up in a cocoon, transforming into something that beautiful. Remember how we used to study the life cycle of a frog and butterfly when we were in Primary 3 or 4.

The giraffes were extremely active. They were running around and eating and drinking. The one on the right is a male giraffe and the one of the left is either his young or a female, not too sure. It was really fun to see them being so active. We continue our journey to explore more places and see more animals before we left for home. It was really nice to go out with my classmates to get to know them better.
