My friends and I decide to go on a fun trip. We wanted to visit a place we had never been to before and after talking about it for some time, we all agreed to go to the Oracle Farm in Makurdi, Benue State. We heard that there were many different animals there.
When we reached the farm, we were welcomed by a friendly tour guide. He told us he would show us around. He said we would see many animals, and he would also tell us the names of the animals, their scientific (botanical) names, and some interesting facts about them.
We saw were monkeys. They were playing and jumping round the cage. They looked very funny and cute. They made funny faces and sounds.The tour guide told us that monkeys are very smart and can even learn tricks.
After that, we saw a lion. It was also in a cage. It was big. We didn’t go close to it, but we could see it well from far.
After the lions, we saw the beautiful animal with black and white stripes, you're right, the zebra. I had only seen zebras in pictures or on TV before.. The zebra looked calm and gentle. The guide told us that zebras are related to horses. I took some pictures standing next to it. It was one of the best moments of the day.
Then we saw an ostrich. It had long legs, a long neck, and big eyes. The guide told us that ostriches cannot fly, but they can run very fast. He also said it is the biggest bird in the world.
The animal that surprised me the most was a big snake. It was my first time seeing such a large snake. It looked scary. The tour guide told us the kind of snake it was and some facts about it. There were about three snakes in the cage.
Then, we saw a camel. This was my first time going close to one. The camel was very tall and had one big hump on its back. The guide explained that camels can go for many days without water and are often used in deserts. I was brave enough to touch the camel. Its fur felt rough.
We also saw peacocks. They were very colorful and beautiful. They were one of the most beautiful animals on the farm. They had bright, colorful feathers and long tails. One of the peacocks opened its tail wide like a fan. It was so lovely to see.
There were many other animals too. We saw goats, cows, ducks, and even turtles. The farm had many different kinds of animals, and each one was special in its own way. The guide kept telling us fun facts and answering all our questions. He was very patient and knew a lot about animals.
The tour guide told us the names of all the animals, even their scientific names, and what makes each one special. I learned many new things about animals.
At the end of the tour, we took a group photo. The best part of the trip was spending time with my friends though. The trip gave me good memories that can never be forgotten and I will always remember the day we went to Oracle Farm.
