I would want to live in a zoo, but not just any zoo. There is an indoor zoo in Montreal, Canada. The animals can walk free out of their little cages and walk where the people walk. I would be able to swim with penguins, climb with the monkeys, and even play in the gift shop. Plus, I enjoy reading and studying about biology. That indoor zoo is paradise. Here are some other reasons why I would want to live at that particular zoo and other zoos.
Well, let’s start with the animals. I would treasure being in a zoo because of animals. What’s a zoo without animals? There can be proboscis monkeys. Now a proboscis monkey is endangered so it is extremely rare to see one. You can see lions and tigers. One of my personal favorites is the reptile and amphibian house. That’s where snakes, turtles, toads, and frogs stay at. There can also be elephants, giraffes, zebras, and antelope. I also admire the crocodilians and alligators. Crocodilians are a different species of crocodiles. I personally absolutely enjoy watching the penguins. The beautiful birds like the parrots and cockatoos flying in the air make me feel like I am able to fly. Another one of my personal favorites are the butterflies.

I would play and sleep in the gift shop. There would be toys, more toys, and even more toys. There aren’t just toys in the gift shop. There are clothes and books. The clothes would keep me warm and the books would help my education explode! That’s why I’d want to have the gift shop be part of my “zoo house”. Have you been to the Florida Zoo? The Florida Zoo has a water park and a playground. I could play all day!
This is why I’d treasure living in a zoo for the rest of my life. See you there! If you were forced to live the rest of your life in a library, a zoo, or a museum, which would you choose and why?

Rebecca, I love zoos too. You may not remember, but when you were three years old your Mommy and Daddy brought you to Philadelphia and our family visited the Philadelphia Zoo. The Philadelphia Zoo was the first Zoo in the United States. The Zoo was chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1859. Its opening was delayed by the American Civil War until July 1874. It opened with 1,000 animals and cost twenty-five cents for admission. The Philadelphia Zoo is one of the premier zoos in the world for breeding animals that have been difficult to breed in captivity. Today the Philadelphia Zoo is 42 acres and is the home to more than 1,300 animals, many of which are rare and endangered.
I am so proud that you know so much about animals and you did a wonderful job describing many animals in your blog. Bubby Ileene, Aunt Debbie and I enjoy visiting the Jacksonville Zoo when we come to visit with you and your family. When we go with you to the Jacksonville Zoo you teach us so much. It would be wonderful to live in a zoo and I certainly like how you would set up your gift shop to live in it.
I hope one day that we will be able to visit with you and your family at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C. The Smithsonian has more than 2,000 animals of 400 different species. I got my information from Wikipedia. I was so excited after reading your blog that I wanted to tell about our family visits to zoos and provide correct iformation. When your daddy was about your age we visited the National Zoo, and as I said we would love going with you because you read are knowledgeable and can teach us so much.
This is an absolute knockout blog and we are so proud. If I had to choose where to live the rest of my life, I would love to live in a zoo with you. I am sure it would be a great adventure and that we would learn so much from the animals. All of our LOVE.
