The cat. Keep on walking around the zoo, harmless but you can see some of them not just in the zoo along your neighborhood also.

CAT - a carnivorous mammal (Felis catus) long domesticated as a pet and for catching rats and mice b: any of a family (Felidae) of carnivorous usually solitary and nocturnal mammals (as the domestic cat, lion, tiger, leopard, jaguar, cougar, wildcat, lynx, and cheetah)

GORILLA - a very large typically black-colored anthropoid ape (Gorilla gorilla) of equatorial Africa that has a stocky body with broad shoulders and long arms and is less erect and has smaller ears than the chimpanzee.
MONKEY - a nonhuman primate mammal with the exception usually of the lemurs and tarsiers ; especially : any of the smaller longer-tailed catarrhine or platyrrhine primates as contrasted with the apes
At the entrance of the zoo you can see parrot. At that moment the parrot in front is a male Eclectus.

The Eclectus Parrot (Eclectus roratus) is native to the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, northeastern Australia and the Maluku Islands (Moluccas).

Their extreme sexual dimorphism is very unusual in the parrot family - the males are bright green, with bright candy corn colored beaks and blue or red tail and wing feathers, and the females red headed and blue-breasted, with black beaks. Joseph Forshaw, in his book Parrots of the World, noted that the first European ornithologists to see Eclectus parrots thought that they were of two distinct species.

Eclectus Parrot True fact ...

Eclectus parrots come from the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, Australia, and the Maluku Islands. They also thrive in Papua New Guinea, but astoundingly, they are often thought of as pests in this area, because they eat the fruit off of the trees

PHILIPPINE SERPENT EAGLE - an eagle found in the major islands of the Philippines. It is sometimes treated as a race of the Crested Serpent Eagle (Spilornis cheela). Spilornis holospilus is usually found in forest clearings, open woodlands, and sometimes in cultivated lands with scattered trees.
