A Few Of The Best Zoo Animals To See

By Carla Mandel


One of my favorite places to visit is the zoo; this is a life long passion that I've always had. I'm fascinated by animals and they always make me smile. Lucky enough to grow up in San Diego, I had one of the greatest zoos right on my doorstep and many a happy childhood weekend was spent there, wandering around and gaping in awe at the amazing array of animals that were there to be admired. This really made me appreciate the wonders of the natural world.

If you grew up, like me, is a city that housed a magnificent zoo like San Diego, you too will probably have a great love of these wonderful attractions. As a child, most of my spare time was taken up by return visits to the zoo, every time there seemed to be something different to discover. The sheer volume of animals of all different species awoke a passion in me that still exists today.

The first stop on my virtual tour of my favourite animals at the zoo is the mighty Dolphins. Kind, gentle and loving all contact with their human visitors, these wonderful mammals will always be must sees for me.

I never miss out on a trip the Monkey house; any animal from the primate family can hold my attention from hours. Some say we have evolved from Apes, and watching them perform certainly adds credence to the theory.

These animals can actually make you laugh out loud, just watching their antics will entertain you for hours and really lift your spirits. I'm always in a better mood after watching them.

The final animals on my list are the elephants; I have loved these creatures since childhood. Smart and gentle, they really are amazing.

Elephants are definitely a must see if you go to a zoo that has them amongst their exhibits. I could sit and be enthralled by them for many hours, as they're truly one of the most exciting creatures on the face of this planet.

These are my top three animals to visit on your next trip to a zoo. Try and make a point of visiting them, for sheer entertainment value, they can't be beaten.
