Hello, I'm Colin!

Have you ever been to the zoo? Today Mom is taking Matze and me to the zoo. I'm already so excited because I love animals! And at the zoo you can see many animals that I've never seen in real life—only in books or in films. The sandwiches for the picnic are spread, so we can go. "The most exciting part is the Africa section! That's where the biggest animals are," Matze explains. "Let's go straight to the giraffes!" Mom and I can hardly keep up; Matze is in such a hurry. Come along quickly!

Like in the savanna

Finally he stops at a fence. The landscape behind it looks like the wide grasslands of Africa, which are called the savanna. In the large enclosure tall giraffes stride majestically among zebras. I like the zebras! They look like black-and-white striped ponies. The giraffes amaze Matze: "Wow, they're so big and have such long necks! Like a brontosaurus!"

The king of the animals

Right next door the mighty lion prowls through his territory. Matze is excited: "Have you ever heard a lion roar?" he asks me. "That's really impressive!" This lion looks a bit like Matze's cat Sally, except she doesn't have such an impressive dark-brown mane. He also has huge paws that really look like Sally's, just a lot bigger. We watch the lion expectantly, but he strolls back and forth and, unfortunately, doesn't roar.

Baby arrivals among the pachyderms

"Come over here. There's something to see!", Mom calls to us. She's already walked on to the next enclosure. "Look at those big tusks!", Matze marvels at a mighty elephant. The elephant doesn't have fur at all, but a thick, gray skin. "Oh, look!!" I cry excitedly. "There's a very small one — a baby!" A young elephant peeks out from behind the big one. He lifts his trunk curiously. Matze and I wave happily to the little guy and, in fact, he dares to come out from behind his mother and toddles a few steps toward us. Matze gushes: "Isn't he cute!" I completely agree. The little one has such a funny tuft of hair on his head!

A Little Friends zoo for your home

I can't get enough of the baby elephant. Something growls beside me. Matze shrugs at me. "That was my stomach. I'm starving!" "Then let's have a picnic. Mom packed us some tasty sandwiches," I suggest. We find a bench in the shade and enjoy the sandwiches. "What should we see next?", asks Matze. "The petting zoo!" I call determinedly. You could spend days here at the zoo! Don't you think so too?
