Dear Denise

Thank you Denise (from Orana Park) for taking and teaching my group information about the animals and their habitats.

I learnt that rhinos' horns are made of nails. If rhinos' horns are not shaped to point up their horns will automatically point downwards and it will affect their lives, making it hard for them to eat food from the ground.

One thing I would like to do more would be to feed the giraffes. Seeing and learning different animals in Orana Park on Monday was amazing because I never knew that rhino horns are shaped manually to point up.

Yours Sincerely
