My Experience at the Zoo Trip

The whole purpose of our zoo trip was to see our animal in person. Fortunately  we did get to see our animal, the Fiji Banded Iguana. I was very excited to see that it was there. It wasn't difficult finding it either. Well, anyway, I knew that that was our animal because I remember its appearance from images I have seen. It looked exactly like how it looks in pictures. During my research, I learned that my animal, the Fiji Banded Iguana, has a very long tail and a short crest of scales on its spine. That's exactly what I also saw in person. I also saw that it was living in a swamp type of environment.  The iguana that I seen had blues stripes on its body. I knew that it was a male because I learned that only the male iguanas have blue stripes.
         I'm glad I got to see my animal at the zoo because I would have been disappointed if I didn't. It's like learning about someone famous, or something famous, but in this case, it's just a simple animal I never learned about. It was like meeting a person. Nothing really surprised me when I saw my animal, nor did it change the research I did. It was exactly the animal I learned about. The reality was better in some ways than the research. The research helped me learn and find out more about my animal, but the reality gave me a good look of my animal.I definitely learned a lot from this project. The Fiji Banded Iguana is an awesome animal!
