Vittorio Flaviano goes to the Calgary Zoo

My name is Vittorio Flaviano and I'm not a child anymore, as you may have imagined, but I like to enjoy my days off visiting parks, watching games and doing outdoor activities. Going to the Zoo had been on my plans for a long time, until I got the opportunity to go to the Calgary Zoo.

As many of you may be aware, I live in Calgary, the most populous city of Alberta, so my friends Fred, Victor and I got to the Calgary Zoo on a beautiful Sunday in the morning.

The Calgary Zoo is one of the most beautiful areas in the city. Located just 5 minutes from downtown, the location is a large green area surrounded by the Bow River.

The zoo has over 1000 animals of various origins: Africa, Asia, Australia and North America. The variety of species is also great, especially elephants, tigers, panthers, hippos, zebras and giraffes.

After we had seen several tigers, an elephant and 2 giraffes, we visited two of the most popular attractions in this Zoo: the Australian kangaroos and koalas. Before we leave the Zoo we got to its fun park with life-size replicas of more than 20 types of dinosaurs. It was amazing!

I will never forget that visit to the Calgary Zoo and look forward to go there again.
