I think that the birds It is animals: Total 133 animals?
Zebra 1 Girafes 6 monkeys 18 Birds 108------------Total 133

I think Carlos is right - just one animal was going to the watering. In case this is a trick question, and animals do not include birds, the total is:
1 zebra + 6 giraffes + 18 monkeys = 25 animals
