Leipzig Zoo Adventure! A Wild Animal Chase in a Huge Park

Hey everyone 👋, I'm here today to share my super fun experience at the Leipzig Zoo 🎉! I checked the weather forecast and saw that the temperature is going to drop again, staying below 20 degrees for the next two weeks. So, I quickly took advantage of the relatively warm weather, while the animals were still willing to come out, and rushed to Leipzig to finally finish exploring the zoo that I hadn't fully seen before. I have to say, Leipzig Zoo truly deserves its reputation as the best zoo in Germany and the second best in continental Europe 👏! Last time I spent about two hours there, but this time it took me a full five hours to finally see everything. The park is absolutely huge, and each animal's enclosure is incredibly spacious with lots of vegetation. The thing is, there's quite a distance between the animals and the visitors, which makes it really challenging to see or photograph the animals head-on 😅! I felt like I was chasing animal shadows all over the park, especially in the rainforest and ape areas – those animals are masters of hide-and-seek! Many people in the zoo were carrying professional cameras to capture the animals. With my lousy phone, I had to zoom in like crazy to barely manage a few head-on shots. At that moment, I've never wanted a DSLR so badly! This time, I managed to see almost all the animals, except for the kangaroos and red pandas 😒. For some reason, a flock of cranes had moved into the kangaroo enclosure, which was quite a peculiar sight. As for the red pandas, they were completely off-duty today. I searched until I was nearly cross-eyed, but there was no sign of them. I have to give the red pandas a negative review! If you also enjoy visiting zoos, Leipzig Zoo is definitely worth a visit 💖. Have you had any similar funny yet frustrating experiences at the zoo 🧐? Share your stories in the comments below~
