Okay, well I like to spend time with animals, especially with pets. I have cats that I spend time with in my free time. Besides this, I was also close to a wild animal during the year 2009 when I visited the Dhaka Zoo, which is located in Mirpur, Dhaka. It was my first time visiting the zoo. This event happened because of my uncle. He had just come to Bangladesh after a long time abroad, and we decided to visit the zoo at that time. We started our journey in the morning and reached the zoo at around 10 a.m. and began sightseeing around the zoo. We saw a lot of animals there, including elephants, horses, snakes, anacondas, and also tigers. Well, all of a sudden, I was very close to a tiger, and at that time, I was scared and didn't understand what was happening to the group. I was lucky that there was a fence around it, and I threw a piece of meat to the tiger. It came very close to me and let out its natural sound, and I was afraid at that time.
