Theresa celebrated her 7th birthday at a wildlife park with her parents. As a fun activity, her parents blindfolded her and led her to different animal cages. She had to identify each animal by listening to its sounds. Theresa was able to correctly identify a horse by its neighing, a caiman crocodile by its grunting, a snake by its hissing, wild pigs by their oinking, pigeons by their cooing, and a cow by its mooing. Theresa had an unforgettable adventure at the wildlife park on her birthday.
