Kano is an empire territory and its capital is Kano. Recently,a new emir was appointed to replace the former emir,Ado Bayero (of blessed memory) in the person of Mallam Sanusi Lamido.
There are many tourists attractions in Kano state-The walls,the museum,library etc.But for this write-up our focus would be on Kano Zoo. It is located at Zoo road in the central business district. In geography parlance,The central business district(C.B.D) is the center for all economic activities in an area.I had visited the Kano zoo as a corper but still had to pay the normal gate fee without discount. The zoo houses hyenas,lions,zebras,giraffes ,monkeys and other wildlife.I was fascinated by the giraffes,feeding them was fun. The lion was rather lukewarm maybe further provocation would have made it livelier.But who was going to stir up the anger of a lion?It sat down lazily and was just yawning all day!
The hippopotamus was another sight to behold only that a larger part of its body was submerged in the water.The ostriches were very big with their long necks and legs.The peacock spread its feathers proudly as it strutted pass the field.We had a zoo attendant that showed us around until he had to assist some other visitors.The visit to Kano zoo was incomplete without the taking of photographs session.After which we had to grab to some snacks and drinks to quench the hunger in our stomachs.It had been a fun-filled day and dusk was about to break.It was time to return to our abode.The driver came on time and we were homeward bound.
