The Elephant in the Zoo

Today I visited the zoo and saw an amazing animal - the elephant. They are so big and strong, with their long trunks and big feet. I was fascinated by their size and strength, and also by their gentle nature. I felt very lucky to see them up close and personal, and I hope to do so again soon. Elephants are such majestic creatures, and I hope we can all do our part to protect them and their habitat.
