Our Class Field Trip to the Woodland Park Zoo

Yesterday, our class had a field trip to the zoo. Our tour leader was Lori.
First, we saw a program about temperate and tropical rain forests. In the rain forest exhibit the canopy level had a room were there were no wires or poles to stop the exotic birds from landing anywhere in the room. There was even what looked like the remains of a nest up on one of the branches.
After the tour,my group went into the nocturnal house where we saw many types of bats, an armadillo and even a poison dart frog. It was very, very dark in there and hard to see every animal.
My favorite part all day was seeing the penguins waddle around their exhibit. Once, a penguin came really close to the edge but it didn't go into the water.
Later, we saw a peacock walking around with it's tail feathers out. Another time, we saw a different peacock up a huge tree. We also saw turtles swimming around in a huge exhibit.
We visited the African Savannah. It had gazelles and zebras. A baby gazelle was there too. We had the best day ever! Have you ever been to the Woodland Park Zoo?
