<p>But when I was gently greeted by a giraffe and a meerkat, I discovered some recently lost precious colours of my life, and all its bruised innocence coolly hiding behind their solemn eyes! <br /><br />I wondered if the giraffe could really be happy in his smaller space, while the meerkat looked winningly up at the sun-kissed May morning. The tiger did look glum in his enormous cage. It wasn't much fun to see the penguins either, so far from home.<br /><br />Then I was drawn into London Zoo's most awesome winner - the Butterfly Paradise where hundreds of these stunners dressed up by the rainbow greeted visitors as they settled down on the carefully created habitat to lure them and increase them. Some of them nibbled at the over ripe fruit served up to them and then settled down on orange hibiscus flowers leaving visitors spellbound with their dazzle.<br /><br /> In 1981 London Zoo created the world's first butterfly house. In May 2006 it made its Butterfly Paradise with its cleverly chosen flora and fauna where 100' s of butterflies from all over the world have been brought. It shows us the entire life cycle of the butterfly. <br /><br /></p>.<p>You can see tiny eggs, giant caterpillars and their feeding stations. You can also learn how to attract them to your garden. If you wear bright coloured or bright white clothes and light flowery perfume they will even alight on you. But you must never touch them or they will be hurt.<br /><br />They come out on warm and sunny days and hide inside flowers and leaves on rainy days.<br /><br />I reluctantly left the heaven of the Rainbow Robbers and stumbled on a Pelican Club - all sugar white and lazily sleeping away the day with their awesome beaks on display. Then they squawked as if to remind you about the importance of snoozing as much as possible. Around them the flamingoes showed off the best pink petticoats in London Zoo teaming up with the snow white nightdresses of the sleeping pelican club.<br /><br /></p>.<p>As the pink and white tenderness wrapped the way with warmth, I thought where would we be without this thankfully speechless kingdom of the innocent, that keeps us going in the all too often sickening currents of slime and sly games that worry our days. <br /><br />Sometimes it seems hard not to follow the pelican club's advice to sleep through the malignancy of mischief and gruesome gurgles, instead of wanting to badly fry up the fools and cook up the crackpots and two legged cobras that appear out of nowhere and compost them!<br /><br />Camden Town is the nearest tube station to reach London Zoo. You can take buses from Baker Street Station also.</p>
