夕方ぐらいになると
すこし暑さがやわらぎます。
The heat eases off in the evening.
そこを目掛けて
行ってきました。
We went to the zoo to see when the heat would ease.
目次
ソーシャルディスタンスは最高レベル Social distance is high at the highest level
日中の暑さがやばかったのと
15時頃にいったので
人がまばらでした。
It was too hot during the day and we went around 3pm so it was sparsely populated.
閉園16時なので
あらかた帰宅された後だったのかもしれません。
The zoo closes at 16:00, so most visitors may have gone home.
すごい空いていて
動物も見やすい。
The animals are easy to see because there are no people at all.
これはねらい目です。
This is a good target.
年パス持っているので
少しの時間でも金銭的に痛くない。
I have an annual pass, so a little time won’t hurt me financially.
最小限の観覧で with minimal viewing
時間が少ないため
絞ってみます。
We will be very selective about the animals we look at because we have less time.
馬、羊、寅、麒麟、Flamingo
There are five that we chose.
Horse, Sheep, Tiger, Qilin, Flamingo
I made a mistake. It is a giraffe, not a qilin, that is in the zoo.
Do you know what a qilin is?
In Japanese, the characters for qilin and giraffe are the same.
But they are completely different.
Qilin are legendary creatures. It is a sacred animal.
They have the body of a deer, tail of an ox, hooves of a horse, head of a dragon, horns on their head, and scales all over their body.
Their fur is yellow and their backs are said to be colored in five different colors.
It is cool.
It is said that when a qilin appears, it is an omen that good things will happen.
I would love to meet one.
It is not easy. After all, they are a mysterious divine beast.
So, my recommendation is Kirin beer.
Kirin Beer has a Qilin drawn on it.
You can see it easily.
By the way, I like Ichiban Shibori.
You have to be an adult to drink it.
That’s a promise.
これらは入口と無料エリアにいるので
すぐに見られます。
These are in the entrance and free area and can be seen immediately.
相変わらずつぶらな瞳が美しい馬です。
The horse is still beautiful with dull eyes.
羊さん相変わらずエサにがっつきます。
Sheep are still hungry for food.
エサも大量に余っていました。
There was also a large surplus of bait.
買い放題です。
We can buy as much as we want.
水浴びする寅。暑いから仕方ない。
Tiger taking a bath…it’s too hot…seems to be hot for tigers too.
キリンとシマウマは日陰にいます。
The giraffe and zebra are in the shade.
フラミンゴも暑さには弱いのか、日陰でした。
The flamingos were in the shade, not too hot.
やっぱり動物もあついのね。
After all, animals are hot too.
