I have always enjoyed seeing animals at zoos, and I research about them to learn where they live in the wild, what food they eat, how many young they have, what are their enemies, what colours are they. Some animals we have seen many times at various locations; others are specific to a particular park. The Toronto Zoo, African Lion Safari, and Marineland are some of the locations where we have seen and learned about animals, birds, and butterflies. Some exist in these parks as a means of protecting them as they have become endangered in the wild. Come and explore with me into the world of nature that exists around us.
