Today was an interesting day. Mr Caine kept on telling us that today was the day that we are going to Orana Wildlife Park, and I completely forgot. I brought my lunch, recess and my trusty chromebook and headed to school. I didn't realise until I arrived, nothing is going to be THAT different right?
Mr Caine didn't waste anytime getting us into our groups, he grabbed his sheets of paper and ordered us to get into our groups. I didn't mind, getting into groups was easy, but some people made it harder than it needed to be.
It felt like 5 years, but it actually took around 20 minutes. We jumped with joy into the bus which made the wheels go round and round all the way to Orana Wildlife Park.
As soon as I arrived we had morning tea, it didn't feel like 30 minutes it passed by really quickly. As they say "Time flies when you are having fun with your lads"
My group was with Mr Mitchell and Sarah, There were some "Interesting" people in my group but that didn't bother me, I'm interested in what today holds. The First thing we looked at was the "legendary" kiwi who ended up sleeping the whole time while we were there.
Since we couldn't see them active, Sarah broughts us to a shed which held stuffed animals. Inside the group got to see the actual animals. It wasn't the same as seeing them actually move but we dealt with it.
After that we walked to the next area the tiger. Sarah explained that "He is marking his territory", I turned and I saw him walking around the cage. Once he walked close to us he just stared at us and walked back and forth growling. It seemed like he didn't trust us, what a "Friendly" Tiger.
The next area was the lions stand. We walked up a few stairs and saw 7 lions having a nap. A few people tried to wake them up and succeeded. Sarah then told us an interesting fact "Lions spend 20 hours of the day sleeping and the other 4 running around" Lions are Lazybones, Who knew.
We looked at a few more animals and as soon as it started it ended. We got into the bus and drove off. Today was an interesting day, Orana Wildlife Park is an interesting place. Maybe I might go there again one day. . .
