There are fourteen monkeys in the zoo. The half of them are babies. The mothers take the babies everywhere.

Kate also likes watching the birds. The zoo built a special forest for them, in it, they happily fly around the trees. Kate’s best friend Mary always comes here when visiting the zoo. She enjoys hearing the birds sing.

The zoo needs money because the animals are expensive to feed. Kate adopted(收养) a small monkey. Every moth she sends the zoo £5 to pay for the monkey’s food. Kate wanted to adopt a tiger but she did not have enough money. Tigers eat a lot of meat. That’s very expensive!
