On a sunny Monday afternoon at the Safari park, I could hear
the sound of many noisy animals. The gorgeous, golden lions were prowling around proudly so they could find the zookeeper. They were very hungry! Behind the wooden fence I saw a tower of lovely giraffes and a beautiful yet ginormous elephant. There was also a stripy, lonely zebra that was zooming around in the tall, green grass. Near the water there was a cheeky, little monkey hanging on a tree. I think he was carefully looking to see where he could cause some mischief. What a surprise! Below him and slightly to the right was my favourite animal, an adorable, chubby otter which was happily swimming in the water.
