 AT THE ZOO

Do you like going to the zoo? A zoo is where lots of different animals from all over the world live - big and small, fast and slow, angry and kind. But can you see the blue whale there at the zoo? No, you can’t. The blue whale is the largest animal on earth. It lives in the ocean waters. And the Pacific Ocean is the deepest of all. But there at the zoo you can see other interesting animals. You can see elephants. 

They are the largest land animals. Or giraffes. They are the tallest. The giraffe has got the longest neck that helps it to eat leaves from the tree tops. Do you know what animal is the fastest? Do you think it is a lion or a tiger? No, it isn’t. The cheetah is the fastest land animal. And how about the largest bird? Any idea? It is an ostrich but it can’t fly.
My favourite animal is a monkey. I like monkeys because they are so funny. I think monkeys are the funniest of all the animals on earth. What is your favourite animal?
