Visit to Bannerghatta National Park

On 20^th June, 2011, we went to the Bannerghatta National park, in Bangalore. All of us were excited to see the zoo. We had few drinks and quick snacks on our way. We were all waiting for the wonderful Safari bus ride. I felt just like an explorer when I sat in the bus. I just couldn’t wait to see the roaring lions, the hopping deer, the furious bears and the fair white tigers.

It was a long journey into the windy jungle. There were clear lakes and plenty of greenery. The sound of the wind, made me feel calm and relaxed; it made a hushing sound just like the waterfalls. The wind made the trees sway up and down. On our way, we spotted few hopping white spotted deer, and reindeer wandering around in the forest. We saw a huge bison and few sambars eating grass in the deep jungle. The gate of the wild tiger felt like we were caged. It took a while to spot few tigers, but they were too deep in the jungle. Suddenly we found a white tiger; it was as white as snow. That tiger sat on a huge stone making a stylish pose. Its wagging tail with black stripes lay down on the stone relaxed. On our way, we even saw an orange tiger taking a bath, in the pond. I have never seen these kinds of tigers that closely, in my whole life. Now, it was the lion’s gate. Right when we entered the gate, we saw a pride of lions roaming around on the road. Most of the lion’s were cubs. Some lions were sleeping, some were wondering around and some were staring at us. Now was the gate for the………FURIOUS BEARS, it was the last animal in the safari ride. There were a bunch of Bears sitting together. Some looked dull, some were sleepy, and some were angry and impatient. On our way we saw two bears fighting with their mouth wide open, and we saw them using a lot of arm actions. I enjoyed the safari ride, this safari ride was the best of all the other rides I have done in a Zoo.

After we were done with the safari, we relaxed ate few quick snacks and started to go around the zoo. We first saw the pretty peacocks spreading out their feathers. The peacocks had a shiny blue body it was so beautiful and pretty. We saw few other animals like zebras, ostrich, and crocodile. We even saw few chirping, loving birds. On our way, we saw a couple of monkeys wondering around in the zoo.

It was a wonderful experience to visit the Bannerghattta National park, in Bangalore. I enjoyed it, but it was tiring!
