hello everyone, thanks for your valuable help!! @bernhard: this is a real zoo!
Bernhard Sulzer Oct 21, 2011:
Tiergarten @Martina: is this a "Tiergarten" with just "nice" animals or are you referring to a real zoo? Roar!

Thanks Murad!
agree philgoddard : Excellent.

thank you!
neutral Bernhard Sulzer : it "could" sound a bit dangerous - I don't think they have any tigers there!? Or, at the petting zoo, when the visitors roar, the animals might get scared. But maybe they can, roar with the tigers. Possibly rip-roaring fun, as long as it's safe there ;)

take an animal delight

Just to get things rolling.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Bernhard Sulzer : were you thinking of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NUkhMq_iRo ; not so sure about "take an animal delight" :)... not sure what you are implying // the song is "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band. :)

Sorry, no youtube, thanks, no implication other than pleasure.

feel as playful as a puppy

another idea
Peer comment(s):

to feel great
Example sentence:

neutral oa_xxx (X) : never heard this before I'm afraid and "animalwise well" doesnt get any hits other than this page!

neutral Bernhard Sulzer : that construction doesn't work in English, do you mean feel well/good like an animal/the way an animal feels??

neutral Kevin Fulton : This shows the hazard of relying blindly on Internet sources

feel good in your skin

That is the most common English expression in this regard.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Bernhard Sulzer : It misses the connection to the "Tiergarten".

You are right. I had overlooked the extended context.
neutral Lancashireman : Taxidermy?

Don't know what it has to do with taxidermy, but you are right. I had overlooked the extended context.
