Room 5 & 6 Trip to Zion WildlifeBy Zephaniah Emile
Yesterday I went to the Kingdom of Zion in Whangarei. The Lions are inspiring and the tigers and white tigers and the cheetahs. It was fun I liked it. I like lions and tigers too and it’s cool.
By Rheiana Hori-Broomfield
Lions, cheetahs, tigers and leopards have to eat meat each day. Sometimes they have cows, chickens, rabbits, goats and dears too. I felt happy it was a bit scary but my mum was holding my hand then I wasn’t scared.
