慌てて支度をし、駅前９時４０分発のバスで動物園へ！ 午前中のもぐもぐタイムは１０時３０分で、ギリギリセーフ～。
夏の北海道ということで、ぺんぎん館前はすごい人だかりです。盛況なのはいいことですね～。
もぐもぐタイムが終わり、ペンギンたちを見ていたら・・・イワトビペンギンの亜成鳥２羽と、ジェンツーペンギンのひな１羽を発見。お話は伺っていましたが、嬉しいです～。
この後園内を一通り見て、再びぺんぎん館へ。そうしたら・・・ジェンツーペンギンのひなが２羽に増えています！ 午前中は１羽だったのに～！！ 赤看板（誕生・転入のお知らせ）でもひなは１羽となっています・・・私、ついにおかしくなってしまったのでしょうか！？
とり「すみません、ジェンツーペンギンのひなが２羽に増えました(^_^;;)！？」
飼育員さん「あ、そうなんです。１羽は午前中は中にいたので♪」
午前中は大混雑で外に列ができるほどだったので、中は見学していなかったのです。そういうことなのですね！ ちなみに、赤看板はこれから作られるそうです♪
この後、１６時５０分までじっくり見学し、旭山動物園を後にしました。降水確率８０％の予報もひっくり返し、大満足の１日でした！
あとは無事に帰るだけです。充実の夏休みでした。では～。
Good evening, this is Tori's writing. Today I was going to go to Asahiyama zoo early in the morning including yesterday's revenge, but I woke up too late(>_<)! It was 9:00 AM when I woke up(^_^;;;). There are only 30 minutes before opening the zoo.
I prepared to depart very quickly and got on the 9:40 AM bus for Asahiyama zoo! The feeding time of penguins is 10:30 AM, so I will be just in safe.
It is a good season in Hokkaido and there are so many people in front of penguins. I'm glad to see many visitors!
After the feeding time finished, I saw all the penguins and found two Rockhopper penguin juveniles and one Gentoo penguin chick. I heard about them before, but I'm glad to see!
Then I watched all areas of the zoo and returned to the place of penguins. Then I saw......TWO Gentoo penguin chicks, they increased!! I certainly saw ONE Gentoo penguin chick in the morning!! Red information boad (Baby born or Newcomer information) also says the chick is one. Did I become crazy!?
Tori "Excuse me, does the Gentoo penguin chick increase from ONE to TWO(^_^;;)!?"
Zoo keeper "Yes, one chick was in the room in the morning!"
I didn't see the room in the morning because too many people were waiting outside. I could understand! By the way, the keeper will make a red information boad near the future.
Then I watched penguins till 4:50 PM and left the Asahiyama zoo. It was a very good day for me because the weather was fine though the percentage of raining was up to 80!!
All I have to do is to go home safely. Thanks for all to enjoy my summer vacation!!
