Day 12: The Toronto Zoo

Today, students had the opportunity to visit one of Toronto's attractions, The Toronto Zoo.  They spent the day walking around the different sections of the zoo that represent different parts of the world to visit the animals.

First, students went to the land of the Indo-Malaya.  Some of the animals they saw there include tigers and hippopotami.

After, students walked through part of the African Savanna, where many students linked the animals they saw there to the Lion King.  In the Savanna, they saw hogs, African penguins, lions, zebras, and giraffes.

After walking through half of the savanna, they continued their journey towards Canadian Domain.  Here, student took a nice warm hike towards the grizzly bears.  On the way, they saw the raccoons and the Canadian lynx.  The hike drained the students and they were very hot and hungry.  Students headed back towards the main part of the zoo, where they stopped at Pizza Pizza to buy lunch and eat.

After taking a lunch break and refueling, students began their walk back to the front gates of the zoo.  This time, students walked through the larger part of the savanna to get back.  They saw tigers, pelicans, rhinoceroses, and elephants.  They also took some time to walk through the African Rainforest Pavilion, where they saw snakes, lizards, fish, and gorillas.
