A Day in the Zoo
Gerald Durrel
Summary:-
Gerald Durrel was an English zookeeper and he devoted his whole life for the sake of animals. 'A Day in the Zoo' is a simple narration of the writer's experience inside the zoo. This is something different. An average zoo day starts when one is awakened by bird song just before dawn. The normal visitors visit the zoo and enjoy different types of animals and birds kept in the cage or enclosure. The work of the zoo starts at 8 a.m. with the arrival of the zoo staff. Their loud greetings and sound of brooms and buckets fill the air. A lot of activity is seen in the various cages of the zoo where the monkeys, birds and mammals live. The gorillas are let out of their cages as the cages are cleaned by the zoo staff. All the animals bustle about the cages excitedly. At 10 a.m. the zoo gates open for the visitors. Everyone has to be alert now as there are many people who exhibit inhumanity by torturing animals in an uncivilized way. Crowd moves out as the evening sets in. The nocturnal animals who spend the day hiding, come out.The environment comes to a standstill.
