The largest living animal in the world is a blue whale. It is even bigger than the dinosaurs a long time ago. OK now lets get talking about zoo’s. There is a plan trying to be reached it’s about going to the zoo and having animals, roller coasters, fake mountains and much more. It would have to change the name of the zoo if it was approved it would be called African Safari world. the guy who owns sea world movie world and wet n wild. they say it would bring lots more people to the zoo not just to here the sounds of animals but the excitement of fun activities. they say it would make a lot more money, people would go there lots more often and there would be enough jobs for 7000 more people. the company want the Victorian government to help pay the money. but there is still a problem what about the animals. what if they don’t like the noise then the zoo would become worse than it is now. what the ex zoo keeper is worried about is that every one will go to the zoo but not look at the animals. the company says that they would keep the amusement away from the animals and still take lots of care of them. we have zoos because with out them we would not be able to see animals or go on excursions of studying an animal at the zoo. the theme park would be built in the werribee zoo, which is just out side of Geelong. A company is trying to build a theme park at werribee zoo. It is not finall yet and will not be final for a while. Some people are saying that there would be an advantage for the theme park and a disadvantage for the animals. People think that it is a big advantage because of people saying they will look at the animals but they only go to the rides and fun stuff. The werribee open range zoo operates like THE WILD. The animals are allowed to run wild while buses go in on tours.
Hi Bek, I think it would be great in a number of ways because it would mean we wouldn’t need to travel to the Gold Coast to go to the theme parks, I bet you have been to the theme parks & you enjoyed it as a family. It would create extra jobs & tourism for Victoria, yes the animals would be confused in a new surroundings but the animal keepers would be able to train them to their new surroundings. Keep up the good work. Franca Brancatisano
