Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth, and
they’re one of the most unique-looking animals, too. With their
characteristic long noses, or trunks; large, floppy ears; and wide,
thick legs, there is no other animal with a similar physique.
Most experts recognize two species of elephant: the Asian
elephant (Elephas maximus) and the African elephant (Loxodonta
africana), who live on separate continents and have many unique
features. There are several subspecies that belong to one or the
other of these two main species, though experts argue over how
many subspecies there are and whether or not they constitute
separate species.
African elephants live in sub-Saharan Africa, the
rainforests of Central and West Africa and the Sahel desert in Mali,
according to National Geographic. Asian elephants live in Nepal,
India and Southeast Asia in scrub forests and rainforests.
Once upon a time, a happy family lived in a kingdom in Priangan Land. They were
a father in the form of a dog, his name was Tumang, a mother who was called Dayang Sumbi,
and a child who was called Sangkuriang. One day, Dayang Sumbi asked her son to hunt with
his lovely dog, Tumang. After hunting all day, Sangkuriang became desperate and worried
because he hunted no deer. Then he thought of shooting his dog. After that, he took the dog’s
liver and carried it home.
Soon, Dayang Sumbi found out that it was not deer lever but Tumang’s dog. So, She was furious
and hit Sangkuriang’s head. In that incident, Sangkuriang got wounded, and a scar was cast
away from their home.
Years passed, and Sangkuriang traveled to many places and finally arrived at a village. He met
a beautiful woman and fell in love with her. When they were discussing their wedding plans, the
woman looked at the wound on Sangkuriang’s head. It matched her son’s wound, who had left
several years earlier. Soon she realized that she had fallen in love with her son.
She couldn’t marry him, but how to say it? Then, she found the way. She needed a
lake and a boat to celebrate their wedding day. Sangkuriang had to make them one night before
sunrise. He built a lake. With dawn just a moment away, the boat was almost complete. Dayang
Sumbi had to stop it. Then, she lit up the eastern horizon with flashes of light. It made the cock
crowded for a new day.
Sangkuriang failed to marry her. He was outraged and then kicked the boat. It felt
over and became the mountain of Tangkuban Perahu Bandung.

Yesterday, my family and I went to the National Zoo and
Aquarium to visit the new Snow Cubs and the other animals. In the
morning, when we got to the Zoo and Aquarium there was a great
big line, so we had to wait awhile to get in.
After we entered the zoo, we went straight to the enclosure
for the Snow Cubs. My brother and I were so excited to see them.
They were so cute and playful. At lunchtime Dad decided to cook a
bbq. He cooked sausages so we could have sausage sandwiches.
My Mom forgot the tomato sauce so we had to eat them plain. In
the afternoon, we visited the aquarium. My brother was excited to
see the sharks and the tropical fish. At the end of the day when we
left we were going to go and get ice cream but we decided we were
too tired so we drove straight home, but of course I was very
happy.

Sukarno’s position as president was replaced by Suharto, the man who became president for 32
