TPO - Giant hippos, weighing tons, suddenly became docile when Zoo staff brushed their teeth and had their teeth checked... making visitors extremely surprised.
 |
Children's Day June 1st falls on a weekend so parents take children to Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens to have fun. From early morning, the entrance area was crowded with people lining up to buy tickets and enter the gate. |
 |
On the occasion of Children's Day, the Zoo offers free tickets for children under 1.3m, making this place a "meeting place" for families. |
 |
Right at the entrance, the Zoo staff set up booths to support visitors. This year, the zoo offers package tours to explore the Zoo for children with many interesting activities such as bathing a turtle, practicing being a little veterinarian, experiencing vegetable growing, raising caterpillars, finding and assembling animal bone samples in the archaeological site... |
 |
Children are excited and happy to visit their "animal friends". Ms. Hong (living in District 8) said: "This place has many cool green trees and many animals for the children to explore. On holidays or weekends, I often take my whole family here to have fun all day, both relaxing and not worrying too much about the cost". |
 |
Children love visiting elephants, deer, and elk the most. This area is always packed with visitors. |
 |
The most surprising thing is that visitors also get to see hippos getting dental care. The big hippos act like "babies" when being petted and having their teeth brushed by the zoo staff before being fed. |
 |
As usual, when the staff member gently tapped the iron bar with the toothbrush, the hippo immediately came over and obediently opened its mouth to have its teeth brushed. |
 |
Then he was rewarded with pumpkin and watermelon after brushing his teeth. |
 |
Children enjoy watching birds at the zoo. |
 |
The closer it gets to noon, the more crowded the animal viewing areas become. |
 |
 |
The mother and baby giraffes have become the "ido" of many children. |
 |
At noon, the food court is crowded. The prices of food and drinks here are quite cheap, from 20,000 - 45,000 VND/dish. |
 |
Bamboo rice, grilled meat, strawberry tea... are popular. |
 |
Free performing arts area attracts visitors. |
 |
Foreign tourists also bring children to the Zoo to have fun on Children's Day. |
