Cameroon Animal Sanctuary

By Jessica (Age 9)



We went to an animal Sanctuary which is like a zoo. The weather was not the best for a sanctuary, but we didn’t have a choice. (It is the rainy season here.)  

The guide took us through a patch of horses. Unfortunately we didn’t even get to touch them.  When we went past the horse, the guide announced “these are the peacocks.  There are four hundred and fifty of them”.  Next he took us to the Ostriches.  He told us there were one hundred and fifty of them. 

Our guide then showed us the pythons. The guide opened the cage with a stick and the snake went under the water. We learned that snakes can stay under water for over an hour without coming up and can go over a month without eating.

After that, we went to see the monkeys.”We are going to take the monkeys out of the cage” the guide announced. Everyone was shocked and scared. I was the most.  I was the one to hold the monkey first.

As you can see, we had a lot of fun.
