We then went across the street into where Rebecca was very excited to go to, a reptile garden. It had a little parking lot in the front and a building behind that, and then a large domed building. I was a little uneasy, not liking reptiles and kind of scared. But, never the less, we got tickets and walked into the domed building. It had stairs at the entrance going upstairs, doors straight in front of us, and a walkway going all around the bottom floor. We went that way, and I didn't know what to expect. I was walking slowly, and saw a big animal with green scales inside of a big glass container in the water. We saw littler ones, browner ones, fatter ones, and all different kinds. This animal was called the crocodile, or the alligator. It was so scary to see one that close! Some even opened and closed their mouths! It was scary. We even saw one that was in an Indiana Jones Movie. It was very, very large.
Snakes came next. We saw little venomous devils, like garters and corn snakes. It made me shiver to look at the things, and I quickly went away. We also saw trarantralas, which were even more spine trembling. We saw different kind of bugs, and I was a little creeped out.
We then saw turtles, and sadly a few more venomous and un venomous little snakes. The turtles were huge and some were mixed with an alligator breed, making a freaky new species. I have to admit by this time I had adjusted more to all of it, but I didn't enjoy it much.
We went through those doors leading to the middle of the first floor, and saw a forest inside of it, with parrots flying around of different colors and shades of blue, green, red, and yellow. It was amazing, they looked like rainbows! We also saw a lot of new interesting fauna and flora, and we saw things like orange leafs and cool pricked plants. "Look at that Andrew!" Rebecca said, pointing to a large branch connected to a tree, with a bright green snake on it. I walked away from it.
We also saw lizards, of camelons and the sort. They would slither across the road, and I was so amazed. Now this I enjoyed! It was more fun, with seeing the frogs in the water, of poison dart and bull frog. There were many fat, huge frogs. It was like I was at the Amazon.
I came to see one bird that was like a pirates parrot. Well, I said hello, and after a few seconds it said back in a high, penetrating voice, "Hello!" It was so funny! I said other words, and he mimicked them. It was amazing that an animal could talk like a human.
We left that part, and then went upstairs. By now Dad was to freaked out to continue, so he waited outside. I was so excited, and I could overlook where I had just been on the first floor. We started off in a circle again, going all around the thing. Rebecca and Mom shared in the same amazement, and we said a lot of oo's and awws. Then we saw the unthinkable. The komodo dragon. A lizard of extreme size, with a stocky body and rough skin. It was so scary!
The snakes returned. We saw many new kinds, huge kinds, one even as wide as a car interior. It was so crazy, that white and yellow fat snake. It hissed a deadly hiss, and looked at me killingly. We also saw all kinds of black and big snakes, which we're huge and more deadly compared to their cousins downstairs. We saw a boa constrictor, and a snake which was used by the Harry Potter cast in making the movie. It was green and black and big, and it even silvered itself up to the glass and went all the way up. A sign said one of it's species was used as Voldermort's snake in the movies, and so I thought it was cool to mention it. It was cool to see, that's for sure.
By and by we finished seeing all those, huge, scary beasts, and got down the stairs and went back to the car after seeing the giftshop. Although scary at points, the reptile garden was very fun and I'm glad I did it. It was so amazing.
We then went to Bear Country U.S.A.,where we saw mountain goats and elk as we entered. They were just lingering about, free to go anywhere they wanted. It was so cool. We then saw buffalo, and also saw bears! Black and brown bears were just there, just going around. It was so cool to see all that wildlife, and even cooler to see real bears. There were like 30. At the end of seeing all these cool animals was a baby section, where we got to see baby animals, like skunks and badgers and raccoons and foxes. It was so awesome.
We then saw cute little baby bears, and see them go around in their little area. It was awesome.
We went home and ate lunch, then drove around for a while. We later came back, and I wrote more of my story. It's about a man who thinks his day will be normal, but it turns out to be the craziest day ever. The working title is A Day he Didn't Expect but please leave a comment on this post if you have a better title. I would appreciate that.
Goodbye, for now.
Bears!,
Andrew.
