Cheetah
Then we went the the cheetahs they are very fast runners they can run 100km/h for 30s and they are being hunted for their skin. a cheetah skin was taken away from the person who brought it into the country and they then gave it to the zoo. cheetahs have claws that the can not retract that means there claws can not go in but
The two elephants named Burma from Burma and Anjalee from Sri lanka there beaverial enrichment toy was a sack full of hay they had to work to try and get the hay they also use their trunks as prehensile part which means they are using a body part to do a different action, they are also being hunted for their tusks and then the sell them for money.
Flamingos have a strainer in there beck this is used for eating and catching food they drink the water then drain out all the water then eat the bug the are left of from the water. flamingos eat water bugs and they alo sleep on one leg because it is more comfortable for them to sleep.
