The most memorable day of my life was a trip to the zoo with my parents. In the morning, we got in the car and set off. When we arrived, it turned out that this was no ordinary zoo. In this place, you could communicate with the animals closer. There I managed to play with small goats and mini-piglets. They were very affectionate and playful.
But the most amazing thing is the meeting with tiger cubs. I managed to take a small tiger cub in my arms and take a picture with it. He's so funny and funny. I will remember this day for the rest of my life. And this is not surprising, because not every day there is an opportunity to hold a small, but predatory animal in your hands.
