Hello zoologist may i know your name?- This sounds strange. I wouldn't use someone's job as a way of addressing the, except for established ones like 'Doctor'. Also it should be 'I'

Looking to the right are the frogs area- is the frogs' area

Well they surely aren't visible to see- delete to see, or better say 'we can't see them'
Whoa the horses were first domesticated by people?- Whoa?????

Their yelling seems scary.- Lions roar, and I'd probably say 'is' not 'seems'

There are many commas missing- after 'now', 'yikes' etc.
