PRES. ROQUE SAENZ PENA

When I mentioned to some people that I was going to Roque Saenz Pena the response I got was "why are you going there?" and a very strange look on their faces. When I told them that I wanted to go to the zoo there they were even more surprised. But my mum and dad always took me to the zoo when we went to different countries so we could see animals we wouldn't normally see at home.

So off I headed to the zoo by taxi! It was a little way out of town and when I got there I found that there was only one family there and me.

The first animals that I got to see were some very large snakes. I couldn't get very good pictures of them as there enclousure was a bit overgrown with grass.

I got to see Llamas in an enclosure with deer.




There was about twelve Pumas at the zoo.




I saw giant guinea pigs.



The zoo has about seven Sumatran tigers.



The black bear enclosure was a bit sad as the two bears share a space about the size of my old lounge room and the floor of the enclosure was concrete.


They had several South American Condors which are very big birds.


There was also some native rabbits.



I liked seeing a Toucan for the very first time.


But my favourite animal at the zoo would have to have been the last one I saw. It was not a native animal of South America but instead it was from Africa..... a giant Hippo!!!!!


he was very big and shared a enclosure with three giant guinea pigs. I was very worried for those guinea pigs as I was sure they would become dinner for the Hippo!


It was not the best zoo I had been to but I was glad I went to see it as there were a few animals that I hadn't seen before.
