I’ve never touched the softness of a fluffy cows fur but I have felt silky sand rushing through my fingers.

I’ve never seen a shiny, gold monkey but I have seen a loud energetic baboon at Edinburgh Zoo.

I’ve never swam in the Mediterranean Sea but I have been engulfed by waves at Water World in Prudhoe.

I’ve never seen a beautiful, multi-coloured parrot but I have seen a elegant owl sitting on a damp branch in the winter lands.
