The Sea Lion show
We also saw a Sea Lion show which was amazing and splendid. We all loved it we also saw two trainers teaching the Sea Lions. They were so nice. We also saw a baby Sea Lion she was only 1 year old but she was so adorable. The other one was 12 years old and was cheeky and it wanted two claps. I didn’t want to leave but we had to. I enjoyed my time at the Zoo. Although the shop was good, I really liked the Zoo and would like to go there every day.
