On 29th January we went to de Vere to see what they were doing about Asia. We interviewed four people HF, CC, WB and SC. HF said “I am enjoying it” all of them said they liked it.   She also told us that she wants to put some nets around the pond so they could go fishing with them.  CC “I want to put a sundial in the wildlife area somewhere.  WB also answered with “I like the big rain forests.” SC said “the fact I will tell you is that they have tigers.”

They have two lots of fierce predators tigers and snow leopard. They have elephants that are able to ride. The stripy pandas can only eat one type of bamboo.
