A Trip to the Zoo

 My dads friends  were planning to visit the Banerghatta zoo and they called us up to see if we could tag along with them. After squabbling about the day of the visit we finally agreed on Sunday .

On 13th march at 7:30 my alarm rang  and I hit snooze and at 7:45 I had come to my consciousness and realized that if I stayed in bed any longer I would miss the zoo. I rushed into the bathroom ,got dressed and woke my brother up .Then I helped out in making peanut butter sandwiches I was soo caught up in the sandwiches that I forgot to brush my hair. after debating on how to do my hair I tied it up into a simple pony tail, packed my tiny bag with headphones, lip balm  and candy I was finally set to see the animals.

Banerghatta is a 2 hour drive from where I stay, so for quite some time we sat in the car, looking out the window and occasionally talked about random topics. Mid way we stopped at a restaurants to eat breakfast and then we again set off to Banerghatta. Engaged in the conversation my dad accidently got muddled up and we were 7 kilometers ahead of the zoo. In the next 15 minutes we  made multiple phone calls, read various signposts and used the GPS and we finally reached the zoo. After meeting up with my dads friends we got all set for the safari . We all hopped into a minivan and drove off. We came across many animals like deer, lions ,elephants. ,tigers and bears. 

After that we took a couple of snaps; played in the park and then visited  the butterfly park we came across a huge variety of butterflies and moths that were spreading their colorful wings while fluttering about. This was followed by a trip to the museum where we had a look at different preserved species of butterflies ,scorpions ,larvae spiders and every other creepy crawlys. I also held a cocoon and a  caterpillar in my hand.

We then  gathered together had some lunch delicious lemon rice and sandwiches and  after a good amount of rest went to the zoo exhibit. We gazed at  the beautiful zebras, fierce  tigers, lions,  calm elephants, lazy hippos, tall giraffes, hyenas, jackals, crocodiles , wolves.

 

  We admired the colorful birds- peacocks, parrots, roosters, parakeets, macaws etc. This was followed by the primate and reptile section where we had a look and learnt amazing facts about various amusing monkey, turtles snakes snakes and serpents- python, king cobras, rattles snake, boas etc. 
After walking around the zoo we packed up and prepared to go home. En route we stopped at a mall enjoyed tasty momos and waffles, visited a humongous book store and went to a restaurant which served various types of homecooked meat. Finally we reached home. The day was soo exhausting that I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
