During the second-term holidays.I had an oppor-tunity  to visit the zoo in Phnom Ta Mao with few  of my classmate.The zoo is situated  about 40 kilometers from Phnom Penh city.In Takeo province.

On the day we visited, there were not many visitors. Being the first experience. I was thrilled  to see animals, birds and repales, which I bed not see before.


Most of the animals were either kept in kuge cages or the animals like the lions and tigers were kept in by a high fence.


There in the zoo.I saw besides lions and tigers.Ostriches, giraffes and huge pythons and rare birdsof tropical Africa. Of all the animals. Zebras interested me the most.
They looked like donkeys but the only difference was that they had stripes which were very beautiful to look at.


Even more interesting were the bears, elephants, monkeys and others.
