Take A Trip To The Zoo

If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it Chattin’ with a chimp in chimpanzee Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting with a cheetah What a neat achievement it would be

This whimsical, little song from the 1967 movie “Dr. Dolittle” reminds children of all ages of the wonder we feel when we spend time with the animals.
The 1967 fantasy film Dr. Dolittle catches the magic of spending some time with animals in the song “if I Could Talk With The Animals, and if you are fortunate enough to live near a zoo, you have a great opportunity to learn a little about wildlife and, at the same time, unwind and commune with nature.
Visiting a zoo reminds children and adults how important these animals are to us and how essential it is to take care of their native environment, while contributing to their care at the zoo. Many zoos are open year round and provide many changing activities guaranteeing a new experience regardless of how many times you visit.
The Top Zoos In The World
There is a very good website that cites the top zoos in the world and provides a concise description of each one. Following are a couple examples of what they refer to as :
“A bucket list of “must see” locales for any nation-hopping zoology lover!
Located in the Xicheng District of Beijing, China, the Beijing Zoo is one of the oldest zoos in the country. It is one of the biggest attractions in the city, drawing over 6 million annual visitors.
One of the oldest (founded in 1899) and largest (265 acres) zoos in the United States, New York’s Bronx Zoo also offers one of the best zoo experiences in the world. Over 6,000 animals are living here today. They thrive within their suitably recreated habitats, ranging from the African grasslands to the tropical rainforests of Asia. Millions of tourists flock to this zoo each year One of the oldest (founded in 1899) and largest (265 acres) zoos in the United States, New York’s Bronx Zoo also offers one of the best zoo experiences in the world. Over 6,000 animals are living here today. They thrive within their suitably recreated habitats, ranging from the African grasslands to the tropical rainforests of Asia.
