    On this episode of Zoo Tours, we are returning to the Nashville Zoo to close out the remainder of the park's entire left side - also known as the Jungle Loop. The three quarters of a mile trail is comprised of some of the best attractions the channel has ever featured: Tiger Crossroads, the Award Winning Expedition Peru, and the cheek lifting Bamboo Trail. However, the Jungle Loop still has quite a bit to offer! Cassowaries, the zoo's largest habitat, colorful flamingoes and you're not only encouraged to pet goats... but also KANGAROOS! Enjoy!

    *Like I said in the community post, I apologize for posting a filler video right after hitting 20,000 subs. I didn't expect to hit that number so quickly! However, I promise after this point, it will be nothing but uphill for at least a year straight.*

      Cockatoos!!!
      More zoos need large flocks of cockatoos .. especially the black and grey ones !!
      Also Tucans or Hornbills probably have largest beak/body ratio

    A major underrepresented animal in zoos are gaurs. I remember when the Toronto Zoo had them and it was pretty special. They moved to another zoo to make way for an outdoor orangutan exhibit

    Gaur, Malay Tapir, Kagu, Southern Cassowary, Mountain Bongo, Mountain Tapir (now only LA Zoo), Shoebill, Pygmy Hippo, & the Sumatran Rhino/Kakapo/Indri/Philippine Eagle which are all understandable

    If you ever go to Europe, you must go to Valencia (Spain), to see the Bioparc Valencia (an outstanding african-themed zoo which is the 9th best zoo in the world, and houses almost every representative species of Africa, including some rare animals) and the Oceanografic (the biggest, and in my opinion better, aquarium of Europe, divided in different pavillions wich show species from all around the world, like belugas, bottlenose dolphins, a lot of sharks, Aldabra tortoises, coral reef fish and aquatic birds). I also recommend the Zaragoza river aquarium, my home town acuatic facility, which claims to be the biggest river aquarium in Europe.

    I Think That A Very Underrepresented Species In Zoos Are Moose. The Only 3 Zoos I’ve Heard Of In America That Have Or Used To Have Moose Are Columbus Zoo, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, And Zoo Boise. Zoo Boise Hasn’t Had Moose Since 2009 And I Think Cheyennes Bull Just Passed Away Last Year.
    Edit: Also Blackbuck Antelope And Axis Deer Are Incredibly Underrepresented In Zoos. They Both Look Awesome And I Think They’d Be Awesome In Zoos, But I Hear They’re Kinda Hard To Get Since They’re Both Heavily Protected Species In Their Native Range.
