Zoorasia; Yokohama Zoo.

I went to the zoo to take pictures with my friend the day before yesterday. We went to Yokohama Zoo and its popular name is Zoorasia. I heard that Zoorasia is a compound word of “zoo” and “eurasia”. They said that they exhibit seventy different kinds of animals, and there are four hundred animals in total. Their strong point is having a lot of rare animals like an okapi, an Asiatic lion and a douc langur.

Actually, we were supposed to go there on April 5th, but my friend had a cold, so we went on the 7th. We were completely right in going on the 7th, because most of the elementary schools started back on the 6th. It was not crowded and we could watch the animals and take pictures leisurely. A little problem was that animals looked tired after the children’s spring vacation, so most of them were lying down or turned their backs to us. However, we had a really good time.

I took more than two hundred pictures! The best photo from yesterday was a photo of the okapi. It was difficult to take photos of the monkeys or birds in their cage, but after getting the knack, I could take them well. I much prefer to take pictures of animals than views or flowers. I get the feeling that I’m going to get hooked on going to the zoo.
