Lion

The king of the jungle am I

Obey the rules or die

The forest is the house

From the elephant to the mouse !

I'm as strong as strong can be

So all the animals obey me

I am the one who lays the rule

For all the beasts including the mule!

-------------------------------------------------

Tiger

Tigi-tiger is my name

I can walk and I am not lame

I have a stripe coat yellow and black

I catch my prey with all the tact

Be it morn or be it noon

I like to have my dinner soon

I am wild as wild can be

So you can't be frinds with me!

-------------------------------------------------------

Horse

I am noble creature

In great races I always feature

my owner tells me I am loving

I work hard to earn my living!

My body is full of strength

My tail grows to a good length

I run faster than you think

Before you could even blink!

--------------------------------------------------------

Camel

The camel is so tall

Next to him I am small

He has a very big nose

Mine is small I suppose!

His padded feet help him

Walk easily on sand

He has a huge hump

With lots of water at hand!

----------------------------------------------------------------

Giraffe

I am a giraffe

With les so tall

When I look down

Then you look so small!

I have a neck,

That is very long

It helps me eat the leaves

While I sing a song!

I have a coat

That has patches of brown

My tiny horns

Are my small crown!

----------------------------------------------------------------

Zebra

Zebi - zebi - Zebra

Please lend me for my use

I wouldn't change the color

Its black and white I choose

---------------------------------------------------------------

Deer

I am gentle deer

With a doe-eyes very clear

I have an orange spotted coat

Pretty antlers, I can boast!

My food is leaves and grass

Children touch me as they pass

I run away from strangers bad

I,m always happy, never sad!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Rhinoceros

The rhino has a great big horn

In the center on his nose

When we go to see him at the zoo

He really loves to pose !

Rhine Rhine Rhino

Ohh! won't you smile for me?

You look so pretty

Ohh! please give your horn to me!

---------------------------------------------------------------

Hippopotamus

Hipoo dear, hipoo dear

Why do little children have this fear?

I may have a huge size

It's so true and no lies

But I am not a mean thing

When you are clean.
