Today we went to the zoo in Arnhem. I enjoyed our guide and there were many aspects about the tour and day that are worth remembering. First, I was so surprised and excited to see the manatees in the rainforest. I had not ever seen one before, although I have learned/read so much about them, and I thought it was interesting when our guide explained that they were actually the most expensive animal to keep at the zoo because of their slow digestive system and the quantity of lettuce/other food that they eat.
I was also amazed at the extensive aquarium the zoo had, especially the tunnel aquarium located near the exit. It was awesome to watch the fish, sting rays, and sharks swim next to, over, and above me, and I tried to take as many pictures as possible. I was also surprised to learn the sharks of the zoo were hand fed with a stick and that the hammerhead sharks were the slowest to learn how to feed from this method.
