Hello, this is Ponce. I have just come back from a great trip with
John Reeder and his family. We took an
exciting trip to the St. Louis Zoo. I rode to the zoo in John’s car. It was such a great day and the weather was
awesome. I also learned some history about
the St. Louis Zoo. I learned that the
zoo is located in Forest Park, which is in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1904, St. Louis bought a flight cage from
the Smithsonian Institution. The
Smithsonian Institution brought the flight cage to the St. Louis World’s Fair
in 1904 and didn’t want to disassemble and move the cage. St. Louis bought the flight cage for 3500
dollars and this was the beginning of the St. Louis Zoo. Since this time, the zoo has expanded to about 17,955 animals and more than 700
species of animals. I had a great day seeing all of the animals. I didn’t even have to walk, because John’s
kids (Madelyn and Matthew ) carried me around the zoo. I became quick friends with Madelyn and
Matthew and we played all day long. I
had a great trip to the St. Louis Zoo and hope to visit it again.
