COMMENT

I didn’t go to Jerez de la Frontera’s zoo, but some of my classmates told me their experience and I think that the trip was cool. If I had gone maybe my favourite animal had been the Asiatic lion. I think that the lion is a very interesting animal; I don’t know why but since I was little the lion attracted my attention.
