Berlin Zoo

When Heinrich travels in large European cities he really likes to take the metro or underground subway trains. They are fast and easy and usually the cheapest way to get around in a city. Lots of times the underground station will be decorated to remind people what is above the underground train station. As Heinrich was ending his visit to Berlin he stopped in a subway station with some wonderful murals on the wall. There were donkeys and walrus and kangaroos.

On the wall across the station there were more animals. This mural had antelope and pelicans and hippopotami.

When Heinrich climbed up the stairs he saw a utility shed that was painted with many animals. Heinrich saw a giraffe and a lemur and a bird of paradise.

 

But the picture he liked best was the picture of the tree frog. Frogs are one of Heinrich's favorite animal friends.

About this time, Heinrich was figuring out that he had found the Berlin zoo. The entrance was like a Chinese gate (even though it was in Germany). There were two large elephants guarding the sides of the gate.

 

The walls along the zoo had some interesting pictures and artwork carved in the bricks of the wall. Several of the images were of dinosaurs. There were triceratops and pterodactyls.

On another wall there were pictures of stegosaurus and plesiosaurus.

 

Right along the road were some pictures of a crocodile and some fish and, yuck, a snake. Heinrich no like snakes.
