Le Zoo De Doue

















http://album.sina.com.cn/pic/4a2ee6680200083fThe Zoo de Doue is only 5 minutes' drive from where we were and is perhaps one of Europe's best. It is sited in an old quarry and the enclosures and visiting routs are arranged around previous troglodytic dwellings. There is lots of shade provided by the great trees, palms, bamboo and acacias.

Doue动物园离我们的住地只有五分钟车程,听说是欧洲第二大动物园,有六百多种野生动物包括小熊猫,河马,犀牛,雪豹,狮子,鳄鱼等等; http://album.sina.com.cn/pic/4a2ee6680200083g
Red Panda 小熊猫
There are more than 600 species of animals,including red pandas, rhinoceros, lions, snow lepards, crocodiles and more, many of them are on the endangered list.

From bamboo woods to rain forest, from rivers to canyons, we walked in many different shapes of land. The ever changing tunnels and stairs shaped the whole dwelling. These unique designs all helped along to creat a fun and cool stroll.
在参天树木下行走,感觉荫凉。在地道中穿入穿出,还很有探险的感觉。原来这个动物园也是在穴居人的旧址上重建的,还可以看得到许多原来的穴居痕迹哦。园里还有河流和峡谷,极力仿造野生动物的环境。

园中很多大型的动物雕刻,不少雕刻还在进行中。刻者介绍说,这些都是美洲杉木,颜色漂亮,而且木质也非常适于雕刻。雕刻这么一个大象大概需要一两个星期。
There are many large animal sculptures in the zoo and more of them are being made in situ. He told us that the wood is Sequoia and its qreat for sculptures. It may take one to two weeks to finish one this size.

最受欢迎的节目要算山羊沟了。我们老早买好了爆米花,山羊一点也不怕人,在你手上嚼嚼嚼的,巨可爱。听说以前有小小山羊更可爱,可能现在都长大了吧,我们没有见到。
The zoo favourite of the day had to be the adorable goats. We have come prepared: popcorns brought from the reception. Goats love to eat them off your hand. There were no baby goats this time, disappointing to some third-time visitors.
This is my favourite
这个家伙我最喜欢,有沧桑感!
