37- Wild leopard
Penelope was a young adventurer who was always in search of new experiences excitement. One day, she decided to visit a zoo in the city to satisfy her curiosity about animal life. As she walked along the wide paths of the zoo, she was amazed by the diversity of species around her.
Suddenly, she arrived at an area where the felines were located. There, she saw a majestic leopard gracefully walking in its enclosure. Penelope was hypnotized by the beauty of this animal and approached silently to observe it up close.
While observing the leopard, she noticed that there were also other fascinating animals in the zoo. There were monkeys jumping from branch to branch, elephants bathing in puddles of water, and giraffes feeding on the leaves of tall trees.
Penelope felt inspired by the diversity and beauty of nature that lay before her eyes. She was fascinated by the way each animal adapted to its environment and lived in harmony with nature.
As she continued her tour, Penelope reflected on the importance of respecting and protecting all these creatures. Each of them had its own role in the ecosystem and deserved to live in freedom.
At the end of her visit to the zoo, Penelope felt grateful for the opportunity to have closely encountered these beautiful animals. She promised herself that she would do everything possible to help preserve their natural habitat and raise awareness among others about the importance of protecting wildlife.
Since that day, Penelope became a passionate activist for animal rights and dedicated her life to creating awareness about the need to preserve the beauty and diversity of nature.After finishing her visit to the zoo, Penelope felt grateful for the opportunity to have closely encountered these beautiful animals.

Tortoise. It is a sea animal, but I find it hard to include it among seafood or fish. I have a land tortoise at home. It is a creature without the slightest grace, with an attitude too zen for my taste, for which I feel no special sympathy, but that also does not deserve to end up in soup. And even if that aberrant plan crossed my mind, it would be difficult to carry out because the tortoise lives hidden in unimaginable places and only appears from time to time, like a slow ghost. The mere idea of taking advantage of her distraction to decapitate her with a machete and remove the body from her shell turns my stomach. Luckily, it is sold cut into cubes and canned. The greenish meat is ugly - it looks half rotten - but it is considered tastier and more refined than the whitish one. In Taiwan, there are restaurants that have turtles in aquariums and snakes in boxes. The customer chooses, the cook beheads them in their presence, and pours the blood into a strong liquor with sugar. While the customer drinks this cocktail, the cook prepares the turtle in soup or the roasted snake, dishes that are so aphrodisiac that there are often available pieces in the same restaurant - including women on the menu - to burn the calories. Venus, the goddess of love, was represented riding on a turtle; the animal's erect head symbolized a phallus. Aphrodite Torne, the patroness of prostitutes in ancient Greece, was accompanied by a goose, whose long neck was an allegory, quite optimistic, of the male member. And Leda embracing her lascivious swan... In any case, I think mythology has been stretched too far. In the East, the meat of this animal is highly appreciated for its stimulating virtues, and in ancient times it was a mandatory dish at the Chinese court: it was believed that, like swallow's nest soup, it could ignite the decadent appetites of the emperor. By the way, these nests are found in caves where a certain type of swallows lay their eggs, especially in Malaysia. The birds make them with seaweed glued together with a secretion similar to saliva. To harvest them fresh, the natives climb the slippery rocks in the darkness, relying on bamboo sticks. They risk not only breaking their necks in a fall but also stumbling upon venomous critters and angered swallows, but the business is lucrative because there are many men in the world insecure about their virility. The nests are cleaned, compressed, and packaged before being sent to Asian markets, where customers pay fortunes for a few grams of this dubious aphrodisiac. Snail. I don't know why they are so appreciated, they look repugnant alive and cooked they taste like garlic and dirt. Their erotic fame comes from the fact that they resemble the clitoris, which emerges and disappears from the female folds, but that metaphor offends me. I don't have anything resembling a snail on my body, and I believe that most of my friends don't either.
Frog. Only the legs are eaten, which taste like bland chicken, that's why they are overwhelmed with seasonings. When I was in school, I had the unfortunate experience, like many other children, of dissecting these amphibians in a science class to test some theory about electrical currents. It seems that the creature kept jumping even after death, but we couldn't verify it. I spent the night sitting on my bed, looking at the darkness and thinking about the horrible experience that awaited me the next day. I arrived early at school, sneaked into the laboratory, stole the frogs, and released them in the garden. If you have a delicate heart, buy peeled frog legs ready to use (at least four per person, which means two little animals killed for each diner), because if you are going to behead them, cut off their legs, dismember their bodies, and tear off their skin, it is most likely that you will feel nauseous and have a guilty conscience for a week. In that case, the aphrodisiac value of this dish will be null.
