Feels like a child - One day at the Zoo.

Yesterday, I was at Zoo Schönbrunn in Vienna. At the information centre I ask for a zoo guide in English to improve my English apart the usual business English.
It was really nice to see, which animals were hide under the unknown English vocabulary.
Okay, the surprise kept within a limit for some animals like lion, tiger, panda, giraffe or African elephant.
But I was quite surprised to see that meerkats aren’t a species of monkeys. Meerkats are the lovely animals well-know from the Walt Disney Movie “Lion King”. In this movie is the name of one of this animal “Pumba”.
A Mountain hare is a snow-rabbit :o).
Lynx is a smaller version of a tiger and you can find this animal also in Europe. The big cat is also rare domiciled in Austria according the information plate at the enclosure.
Or an Egyptian vulture is one of these ugly birds, which lives mainly on carrion.
These are just few examples of my discovery tour.

I have to admit, I like the zoo and it is every time a pleasure to look at the animals.
I have bought an annual season ticket, of course. So I’m looking forward to my next visit at the Zoo. And I’m curious which animal is hidden under the name “Garganey“.
