We bought tickets first, and after entering the park, we saw a circular fountain with a carved elephant standing tall in the middle. Welcome us like a soldier.
We went to a place called "by the farmhouse", where the path was paved with many round stone mills. When we walked up, the local flavor came to us, as if we were in a country farmhouse. Walking through the "farmer's edge", we arrived at the "bird of prey cage". I saw a black vulture sitting on a two-story fake mountain top, looking in all directions, waiting for its prey to fly into the cage. There are also some ostriches, really big, all as high as fences! We also saw the giant panda. They are eating bamboo. After eating one, they ate another. What a wonderful treat!
After the "Raptor Cage" is the "Primate Pavilion". There are some monkeys in the cage. Some are itching, some are eating fruit, and none are running. How lazy! There is only one exception, what's the name of that one, I forget, it's very powerful and fast anyway, and I didn't take it twice.
We came to the "Lion Tiger Mountain" again. There is a lion in the cage, lying lazily on the ground in the sun, with no kingly demeanor at all. There is a Hei Hu in the cage next to the lion. It's a variant of Jaguar. It likes climbing trees and is good at night walking. There is a white tiger next door, which is a variety of Bengal tiger. What a coincidence! Its east neighbor happens to be its "ancestor"-Bengal tiger. Its brown body is covered with patches of various colors and black stripes, and the mighty "king" is clearly printed in the center of its big forehead.
Then, we went to see the beautiful sika deer. They formed a circle, and I didn't know what they were doing. There are camels, Australian kangaroos and emus, lovely springboks and wildebeests, as well as powerful twisted-horn cows and yaks in the boat in the desert.
We also visited reptiles and snakes, among which Vietnamese monitor lizards, vipers and pythons were the most frightening.
After seeing the animals, I was about to leave the garden when I suddenly found that I hadn't seen the plants, so I asked my father. My father said he was too tired to see them, so he had to go home with a lost heart.
Goodbye, tiger; Goodbye, lion; Goodbye, my lovely monkeys ... Goodbye, beautiful Linyi Zoo and Botanical Garden!
