Alipore Zoo Visit
TCS junior students packed in a trip to Alipore Zoo and an impromptu picnic there this week. Some student reactions:
Neerh Bijoy,Class 1: “I was wondering how the white tiger was balancing itself at the edge of the land and not falling into the water near him!”
Sara, Class 1: “The best thing I saw at the zoo was the peacock dancing gracefully with its feathers spread all around.”
Suryani, Class 2:“We had a wonderful day at the zoo. We saw many animals and we understood the importance of animal care.”
Kusharko,Class 2: “The visit to the zoo allowed me to see the beauty of the macaws, the parakeets and the cockatiels up-close!”
Aarush, Class 3: “My trip to the zoo was really very exciting. We became more aware of animal behavior, care, and conservation.”
Sohana, Class 3; “It was a treat to see the Royal Bengal Tigers named Payel and Rishi walking majestically in their enclosures!”
Lilith, Class 4: “We were very eager to see the animals. We all screamed with delight when we heard the growls of the fiery lioness.”
Divyam, Class 4: “When we reached the lions’ enclosure, we saw the lioness sleeping. As we were babbling and shouting, the lioness woke up, loo
ked at us and then nodded off again.”
Rena, Class 5: “When we went near the enclosure where the peacock was kept, a spectacular sight met our eyes. We saw the peacock dancing in full bloom and it was the most beautiful dance ever!”
Avantika, Class 5:“I saw the white tiger swimming in water and it reminded me of what nature could do. The fact that the zoos continue to capture animals from the wild to put them on public display hurts me. They lose their freedom and are cramped up in enclosures too small for them.”
