My Home "The Zoo"

Rafferty

This is an introduction to a panda named Rafferty who is currently living at the Singapore Zoo in Singapore. This is the story of his life, his daily routines, and he would like to dedicate it to his fellow panda mates and friends. 

 I find that being a giant panda is the best because we don't have to do much and we can easily have special care by the kind zookeepers. Scientist call me a terrestrial animal which I think means that I only live on land. Once in a while, they come by and check my weight and height and they seem very impressed when they leave. I am about 1.6m and I weigh at about 107 kilograms! 

I find that staying in the zoo isn't that bad at all! I get well fed, and I get to be the spot light because at 5 sharp, I'm invited to perform at a animal magic show! The people and zookeepers all treat my nicely and I especially love the way that my neighbors are the monkeys and the other bears. We usually have long conversations about how we are feeling and I mostly like talking to the grizzly. He may look very tough but he is actually one of the nicest here. 

I am woken every morning by an unexpected time everyday. Behind the walls of my home, I can see the other animals in their homes quite a distance from mine. Outside the walls of my home, I also see these people looking at my home and using what's called a camera that can stop image at a certain time. The people cheer, smile and greet me as I have my breakfast, long bamboo sprouts. It may seem weird, but I would rather have bamboo sprouts than human food. I see them with cotton candy, hot-dogs  and popcorn. In their eyes, I think that they are calling me racist and international at the same time; I am black, white, and Asian  People from all around the world come here to my home and to the home of other animals to come and look at us. To me, I think that the humans are very kind and nice with their colorful skins of garments over their bodies. Its strange that they all come in different colors and when I see them again, their garments had changed! 

After all, being a giant panda isn't that bad. I get treated well and I am well fed. The people who come and visit me are extremely kind especially the little ones who are about a third of the size as their parents. My home is the best home I could possibly have!
