非常有意思的动物园

这里的动物都不怕人,刚进去时被鸭子和大鹅追着跑,还有点害怕,渐渐就适应了。最好玩的是kune猪,样子丑凶丑凶的,实际上很会卖萌,和人很亲近。矮马凭栏听风,发型异常帅气,很有范儿。

Kia ora, thank you for your lovely review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your visit and adored the kunekune pigs. We hope to see you again

值得一去的“野生”动物园

这是我去过的最好的野生动物园之一,只要看到的动物基本都可以近距离接触到,非常有意思。里面很大,可以玩3个小时左右。最值得一提的是,可以看到活蹦乱跳的kiwi,由于kiwi是夜行动物,只能在黑暗的场馆中参观,但是依然很清楚。如果在基督城的话非常值得一去
