On the second of the two days my brothers were visiting us in Berlin, Germany, we happened upon the Berlin Zoo. We arrived around 3 in the afternoon, which, lucky for us, seemed to be feeding time for all the animals!
Literally within 60 seconds of entering the zoo, we were greeted by a rhino taking a huge post-meal poo. We saw hippos chowing down on some grass and carrots, fruit-eating bats(!!!), massive birds tossing mice in the air and gulping them down whole, giraffes chewing on leaves, a sloth bear working all the mysterious pink food goo out of the crevices of a rock, a variety of monkeys swinging around and playing with their food, and maybe the best part: these hilarious (or awful?) sounding sheep.
Bring your coins, ladies and gentlemen. You’ll want to buy some food to feed these things and get them to shut up!
At €13 per adult ticket, I’d say the price was worth it. (Did I mention there’s WOLVES, too? One of those scored itself a crow!)
…though I still can’t decide if this is the worst or most hilarious sound I’ve ever heard come from an animal. What do you think?
