At the Crater




 For my day off I went on a safari with three other volunteers.  We went on a safari at the crater.  It was an actuarial  crater.  The crater is home to a variety of animals.  The animals that we saw were Water Buffalo, lots of Zebra, Warthogs, Hyenas, Caribou, Elephants, Hippos, a monkey, some Flamingos, a Rhino, and finally some Lions.
    My favorite animals that we saw were the Zebra's, the Elephants, and the Lions.  The Lions were the last animal that we saw.  There was a young male and two females. It looked like they were getting prepared to hunt.  They were so amazing.  We just sat there waiting for their next move.  The Elephant was entertaining to see.  It was cooling  off by using its trunk to throw dust on its self.  Seeing the Zebras were amazing.  They crossed right in front of our car.  The crossed like we were not even there.  Even though all  of these mentioned animals are very lovely and interesting The Zebras caught my eye.   I love how each Zebra has an individual pattern of stripes.  While watching the Zebras we saw some babies.  The babies are quite cute.  Instead of having black and white stripes they have brown and white stripes.  The babies also has softer looking hair that looks like fluff.
   It was an amazing experience to see all of these animals in there natural habitats.  We were lucky to have such a nice day.



This is what the Crater looks like.  It was a wonderful day to go.  We ended up seeing a lot of animals.
                                           Here are my two favorite animals that we saw.
                                                     I am so glad that I decided to go:)
