An Amazing Animal
Snowflake, the world’s only white gorilla, was truly an amazing animal that left a deep impression on people.
He was born in Africa and lived in Barcelona Zoo from 1966 to 2003. Unlike other gorillas with black fur, Snowflake had pure white hair—this made him a star in the zoo. He mainly ate fruits and leaves, just like other gorillas. There were no other white gorillas in the world at that time, so he was very special. People loved to visit him because he looked gentle and unique.
Snowflake’s story shows how wonderful nature is. He taught me to appreciate the beauty of different creatures. I think he will always be remembered by people.

Dear Lisa,
I’m glad you love small animals! I want to share an unforgettable experience I had with a parrot last year.
My neighbour had a smart parrot named Willie. It could imitate people’s voices and was very noisy. One day, my little cousin Hannah came to my home. She was eating bread when Willie flew over and took the bread from her hand. Hannah was scared and cried. I tried to get the bread back, but Willie flew to the shelf. Finally, my neighbour came and got the bread.
Willie was really naughty but cute. This experience made me love animals more. Do you have any interesting stories with animals?
Yours,
Li Hua
