When did the kongoni antelopes pass away?
I loved this tour, Derek, especially the bits with the Tasmanian devils, hippos, baby elephant and brown bears. Here’s to another 50 tours!
Awesome footage Derek. Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays to you too!
Did you know that Sundara and Rudy performed with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus before moving to Columbus in 2016? I guess you may have seen them when the circus came to your town.
I did not know that, thanks for sharing!
As a volunteer at Potawatomi Zoo, I think the zoo has improved so much! We recently got 2 new bear twins, and a kudu calf born. We also brought in dippin dots stands for people to have ice cream (especially the kids). The new restaurant next to the bear exhibit is a big improvement, along with bringing bears back after 20 long years. We plan to do a whole lot more to the Potawatomi Zoo.
I agree. I've been very impressed with the additions the Potawatomi Zoo has made in the last 5 years.
Awesome video, Derek! One of my favorite penguin exhibits would be Penguin Encounter at SeaWorld San Diego. I got to see some Emperor penguins! But I also have a soft spot for the Sea Bird Aviary at the Bronx Zoo. It's a walkthrough penguin exhibit with penguins and Inca terns.
My favorite penguin exhibit is Planet Penguin at Loro Parque in Tenerife. 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
Great video Derek. My favorite penguin exhibit is obviously Detroit's, but second place is probably John Ball's because it's open topped and doubles as a free flight aviary.
My favorite penguin exhibit has to be Detroit hands down, thanks Derek
Detroit's penguin exhibit is excellent, but I will say that the Puffin area at St. Louis is just plain fun. The water level is at viewing level and there's not much of a barrier at all between you and the puffins, and they are splashers. LOL
Aye Derek I highly recommend you to take a trip to Brookfield zoo again sometime next year because they are outdoor habitat for the apes that should be fully built by may 2025! Plus right after they’re done w that part they are gonna do a new phase that won’t be done till 2034!
I may be visiting Brookfield again in December. I know the new ape habitats won't be done, but I'm moving away from the Midwest so this may be my last chance to visit Brookfield for a while.
@ damn come on where are you going?
@@Godfirst500 North Dakota for a new job. I made a community post recently with some more details.
@ I see
As someone that volunteers at the Columbus Zoo, this is an amazing video with a lot of really good information!
Thank you!
I loved the footage of the spiny lobster, sturgeon, tiger, jellyfish and sharks.
I used to take field trips there a lot when I was in elementary school. The last time I've been there was in 2013. I miss that place
Congratulations on 800 subscribers. I never expected to see a tiger in an aquarium.
Thank you!
You should do a top 5 reasons to visit the binder park zoo video!
My favorite orangutan exhibit is at Cincinnati. Also for the next tour St. Louis?
Correct!
I’m so glad you got to talk about orangutans! They’re one of my favorite animals. One of my favorite orangutan exhibits is Absolutely Apes at the San Diego Zoo because they are mixed with siamangs. I also love Louisville‘s Islands and I had a lot of fun filming ZooTampa’s Primate World and ZooAtlanta’s Asian Forest.
I might have said that the San Diego Zoo has a new pair of pandas, but did you know that the Smithsonian's National Zoo also got a new pair of pandas? The pandas' names are Bao Li and Qing Bao, and they will make their debut in January 2025. However, Atlanta just sent their pandas back to China in the middle of last month. As of right now, San Diego and DC will be the only zoos for now which have pandas on display in the US.
I'm glad the U.S. didn't lose Pandas entirely. I'll definitely be looking for a chance to get to either San Diego or DC at some point to see them again.
I Love the Tree kangaroo
Me too!
Matschies Tree kangaroo
Seems like a nice zoo with lots of species of animals. Would love to visit
Which zoo do you prefer? Cheyenne or Denver? In my opinion Cheyenne looks way better.
I did prefer Cheyenne Mountain for the incredibly unique experience it offers, however from an animal viewing perspective I had a better visit at Denver, hence why this video is so long😅
Very good tour of Denver zoo. Thank you for sharing with everyone.
The Lions are magnificent.
Awesome! I loved the footage of the lions, Cape buffalo, hippo, gibbons, Indian rhino, fishing cat, clouded leopard, tiger, and especially the Indian elephant. I can’t wait to see your interpretation of Toyota Elephant Passage.
Beautiful video! Thank you for sharing.
LETS GO So happy to see someone else who agrees that they’d put Omaha over San Diego
To be fair I have not been to either zoo yet, but I do think I would enjoy Omaha a little more.
As someone who’s been to both, although San Diego has a lot of animals, the exhibits in Omaha are probably some of the most mind blowing ever.
I Love The Pallas Cat Great Video
We now have the devil's back
Just visited earlier this month and got some good footage of one of the devils. I'll have Highlights from that visit out probably in December.
Glad to see you got some fantastic footage and pictures of the Mountain Goats! The mountain tapir and tree kangaroo are a rare treat as well. And it's always nice to see a proper North American section in a North American zoo as well. Feels like too often in the Midwest zoos that they get kinda separated out.
Great footage of the mountain goats, tapir, black bear, and moose. This looks like a cool zoo
The Indianapolis Zoo did a better job on their chimpanzee complex than at my local Potawatomi Zoo, which used to have chimps. Until 2020 they moved to Kansas, because they are social animals.
Very nice Pallas cat
Request please visit the Los Angeles Zoo my home zoo
Thank you for sharing your request. Unfortunately, I don't expect that I'll be getting to Los Angeles anytime soon, but I do hope to visit every major zoo eventually.
I love this video of the African Savannah at the Fort Worth Zoo, Derek! And to answer your question, my favorite African Savannah exhibits are the Bronx Zoo’s African Plains, to which it’s one of the most influential exhibits because it was one of the first to display a predator and prey display as in the case of lions and nyala antelope, an impressive outdoor exhibit with giraffes and ostriches, and has spotted hyenas and African wild dogs, Grevy’s zebras, Thomson’s and slender horned gazelles, lesser kudu, and an aardvark nocturnal exhibit, and of course, Kilimanjaro Safaris at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, to which it’s the definitive quintessential savannah habitat for all of Africa’s wildlife of all time.
Thanks for sharing you answer!
@@DereksZooVideos0118 No prob!
For me, the best African savanna exhibit that I've seen is the Columbus Zoo's Heart of Africa.
My favorite African savanna exhibits are Africa at the Cincinnati Zoo, African Grasslands at the Henry Doorly Zoo and Trails of Africa at the Birmingham Zoo! Happy World Animal Day, Derek! I loved the footage of the rhinos, hippos, springbok and giraffes.
Happy World Animal Day to you too! I'm not too familiar with Henry Doorly's African Grasslands, so I'm looking forward to you doing a tour of it.
@@DereksZooVideos0118 Thank you.
The best Savannah exhibits I've seen are Wild Africa at Binder park, Heart of Africa at Columbus, Africa at Cincinnati, and African Grasslands at the Bronx. This exhibit looks really good too.
Great choices!
I can’t wait to see you do the predators of Asia and Africa section of the zoo and also forests and jungles of the world when it opens.
Be sure to go to Potawatomi Zoo for Zoo Boo from October 18tb through October 19th and film their haunted train ride!
