The animals in the wildlife park are not wild.

This is a story from last weekend.

From childhood to adulthood, the animals I have seen are limited to common types such as cats, dogs, pigs, and chickens. I only see other animals in "Animal World". Although I went to the zoo once when I was a child, I have no memory of it. This year, I suddenly had a thought and really wanted to go to the zoo to see the cute animals. Fortunately, a long-lost friend also wanted to visit the zoo, so we agreed to go together and see the wild animals.

On a sunny afternoon, the wild animals lazily lay in their favorite places and slept. Even the zebras were lying down. This scene is far from the wildness of the animals in "Animal World". The carnivores were also lying down, basking in the sun, showing no interest in the food thrown by the visitors in the feeding car. Only a little black bear was very enthusiastic, climbing up the catapult to get food, which was worth the ticket price.

In order to see all the animals without missing any, we embarked on a fast-paced journey. The herbivore area had almost no highlights, and the feeding area, which cost thirty dollars each time, occupied the best viewing position.

The highlight of the day started with the primates. Among the groups of ring-tailed lemurs, we observed a three-day-old baby lemur. We also saw a lemur sitting sleepily away from the group.

When it was past four o'clock, we began to notice that many animals were wandering near the gate, as if it was time to go off work. In fact, most of the animals in the wildlife park are still in captive environments. Only the animals in the car area have a larger range of activities and a living environment more similar to the wild. However, the range of activities is still limited, and the scheduled feeding and artificial environment make the behavior of the animals in the wildlife park seem far from the animals in documentaries. But then I realized that for the animals in the zoo, it was just an ordinary afternoon, while what was shown in the documentaries might be some rare phenomena edited together.

After visiting the zoo, my mood became heavy. In order for people to see various animals concentratedly, these animals and their offspring live a worry-free life without natural enemies, but they have lost their freedom. It is difficult to say whether these animals have gained more or lost more.
