Higashiyama Zoo Excursion (遠足)

スレッド
Higashiyama Zoo...
On Sunday, Teragoya staff & students went to Higashiyama zoo. Of course we saw lots of animals.

Do you know the name of the animal in this photo? in Japanese? How about in English? I thought staff knew, but she didn`t. She thought it was a hippo (short for hippopotamus河馬), but actually it`s a rhino (short for rhinocerous犀). I teased (茶々を入れる) her about her mistake.

Later we saw an elephant. I asked her, "Is it an African elephant or an Asian elephant? Do you know?" She thought it was an African elephant, but actually it was an Asian elephant (Asian elephants have smaller ears than African elephants). I teased her again.

Everyone had a good time at the zoo. The kids enjoyed looking at the animals. I enjoyed teasing staff.

Grammar:
When our knowledge or information is wrong, we often use:
- "I thought (past tense verb過去形動詞) but..." e.g. 'I thought the meeting was today, but it`s tomorrow', 'I thought I didn`t need a visa, but I did'

It must be fun. 
In Japan ,we can enjoy watching animals on the day time. 
 
How about Australia? 
Are there a lot of nocturnal animals? 
 
so, 
 
must be boring thing to watch sleeping animals.

Yes - Australia has a lot of nocturnal animals, so you have to be careful when you drive in the countryside at night.

I think a lot of people are disappointed when they go to a zoo to see Australian animals & most of them are sleeping...!
