A Trip To The Zoo

Wow! Look at those cheeky monkeys over there. They so cute.

We were at the Hamilton Zoo because we had filled our marble jar up. Our teacher wanted us to study if the zoo was a good place for animals.

The monkeys were swinging from rope to rope. One of the monkeys ran through a yellow twisty tunnel. They were watching us, wondering what we were doing. They were running around in their noisy enclosure. One of them ran and reached their tail through the wobbly brown fence to grab a pineapple that someone had sneakily dropped by the monkey cage. The monkeys' long tails twirled around and around. Their black fluffy fur looked so long. I would love to hold a monkey but I wonder if they would be friendly. I would want to be sure. Sometimes, monkeys have  red faces, but they didn't. They had fur on their face instead .Their enclosure had wavy sticks and windy dust tunnels. They also had a sign that said, 'Watch out! I bite!' A big brown fence was around their whole enclosure. One of the zoo keepers said they had to take two zoo keepers with them when they went into the monkey cage because the monkeys try to come and steal the food, so one zoo keeper watches them while the other zoo keeper feeds them.

It was one of the coolest days of my life. I can't wait for our next class adventure.
