I am from Greece, admire animals and study their behaviour, ecology and evolution.
I have visited zoos in my family trips in Europe. To be honest I bore art museums, buildings etc (for me it is all the same after some point, I always want some nature)
I especially remember aquariums with sharks, rays and other fish and moments with resting lions, noisy chimpanzees, the smelly tail of a group of coatis, sea lions and dolphins jumping and galapagos tortoises moving slowly around their cell

Greece has mainly small or medium sized land mammals but I have managed to see captive brown bears and a red fox during night. At least I have managed to see some birds, especially greater flamingos, dalmatian pelicans, white wagtails, black kites, white storks (many of them in streets in the north) and a peregrine falcon in my neighborhood that had just killed a pigeon.
As a mainly marine country, I had seen some inverterbrates and fish under the sea but the most amazing was common sole, since they are incredibly hidden in the sand bottom

I hope to see new and more animals in the future and I hope some of them would be in their natural habitat

I have a new game proposal should anyone wish here:
Guess the animal
