- San Diego Zoos Asian Passage
The Asian Passage sits in one of the Zoo's oldest areas, featuring some exhibits that were dug out in 1920's. Broken up into three areas, parts of this area are designed to look like a Tropical Asian Forest and others are old fashioned bear pits.
The first area we come across on our trek is the Panda Trek. Here we will be surrounded on both sides by habitats for the Snow Leopard. These animals also have walkways over head to cross.
Next up is a habitat for the cute and loveable Red Panda, across from this habitat is the home of the Takin and at the end of this path is a indoor and outdoor viewing area for the Mang Mountain Viper.
The area where the Giant Pandas resided at the Zoo is now home to two more habitats for Red Pandas.
The Second Section we come across is the Sun Bear Forest and here we will come across a multi-species exhibit housing Angolan Colobus Monkey's and Black Mangabey. Past this is multiple viewing locations for the Francois' Langur and an Aviary housing Fairy-Bluebirds, Black-Naped Orioles, Golden-Crested Myna, Red-Billed Leiothrix and Grey Peacock-Pheasants. The final exhibit in this second section has two viewing locations for Bornean Sun Bears.
Before reaching the third section of the Asian Passage and set off to the side of the walkway are three aviary style cages that were blocked from the public at the time of our visit.
The Third area in the Asian Passage is old style bear pits with various species of animals, some having multiple yards to roam. First up here is the Andean bear, followed by North American Grizzly Bears, Spotted-Necked Otters, Amur Leopards and Sloth Bears Deemak and Kartick.
.................
FAST FACTS:
Snow Leopards - Referred as the Ghosts of the Himalayas these big cats are a stealthy predator and are capable of killing prey animals up to three times their weight.
Red Panda - Their white face and reddish coat help them blend in among the white lichen and red moss that covers the tree trunks and branches in the forests they live in.
Mang Mountain Viper - These snakes can reach lengths of 7 feet and their green-and-gray skin help them to camouflage against moss-covered logs and rocks where they wait for prey to wonder by.
Sichuan Takin - Their shaggy fur has a thick oil coating on it that acts like a rain slicker in the wet weather and during the winter, they grow a shorter undercoat.
Sun Bear - These are the smallest of the eight bear species. Their name comes from the yellowish or white crescent marking on the fur of their chest.
Sloth Bear - The sucking sound the Sloth bear makes while eating can be heard up to 330ft away.
Andean Bear - Also known as spectacled bears. They have unique vocalizations such as a soft, purring sound and a shrill screech.

Thank you for watching
A Golden Takin was recently born at the San Diego Zoo. First in the western hemisphere.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
That's fantastic news!
That’s crazy it snowed the day the snow leopard arrived. The red lesser pandas are adorable. What an assume gift and a surprise pregnancy. Topsy had enough. 😂😂. Sun bears are so cute. Miss Houdini seemed to have gained a name she honestly didn’t deserve. She seemed to have a lot of personality. 😂You tell such great stories and the animals are amazing.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! I had no idea that San Diego had ever had snow until I researched this video. So many amazing and beautiful animals have lived there, I like talking about their personalities.
They really do have a beautiful exhibit area for the animals. So many different varieties of Asian animals. Many I had never heard of before today’s video. We really need to spend a day at the San Diego zoo sometime.
I can't recommend it enough! They will have a new children's zoo area opening sometime later this year...and if you happen to go to San Diego I would also recommend La Jolla cove, you can spot sea lions and seals there. The zoos sister park the safari wildlife park has some breaktaking views and very beautiful gardens.
Thanks for the recommendations.
No problem!
It is a great pleasure watching all of these various amazing zoo animals and listening about their rich history and information. Thank you very much, it's a huge delight to watch from the comfort of our home. We appreciate it tremendously. Have a pleasant weekend!
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video. I find the stories of individual animals give them some personality. Have a great weekend as well and stay safe!
My personal favourite zoo (totally biased!)...Thank you for showcasing this incredible collection and highlight the amazing plant life as well!
Love that you tied in the history of the snow leopards 💚
I would say that after spending a few days there it has quickly become my favorite Zoo in the states.
Glad you enjoyed the video and Thank you for watching!
I wish they brought back the Giant Pandas
I do as well
San Diego is on my bucket list, I need to convince my Dad that we need to go there. Great job capturing the Asian exhibits!
Thank you! I highly recommend a visit. When you go look up La Jolla cove it's a great place to see sea lions and seals. Especially in March after pup season.
I live like 2 hours from the wilds conservation center in ohio which is where I found my love for takins
Takins are fun to watch! Would you recommend a visit to the Wilds?
Very good I love San Diego
Thank you! I do as well, San Diego is such a beautiful place
@@ZoosTravelers it really is a wonderful place
This is awesome!
Thank you!
Great video! I loved learning about the bears!
Thank you! I was fascinated by the bears stories as well!!
New SUb 1.66K + 1 😀
I love sun bears. I hate how the Columbus zoo(my zoo) replaced them with a sloth bear
Thats sad,, I did not know they had sun bears...I liked the Columbus Zoo, would love to visit there again. It's one of my wife's favorite zoos!
It died
That's a shame, do you know how long ago that was?
@@ZoosTravelers I don’t I live 2 hours away but I have a membership I believe about 1 year
I would love to visit the Columbus zoo again, I've only been one time.
Why is the grizzly bear in here
Part of Asian passage includes the old bear canyon area as well. Which has Andean bear, anur leopards, grizzly bears and spotted neck otters
@@ZoosTravelers ah. That makes sense. I love the San Diego zoo. It’s sad they don’t have giant pandas anymore. Will you do the safari park?
I do plan on going back in the fall, would love to see the platypus habitat. San Diego is such a beautiful place to visit!
@@ZoosTravelersyou have missed the aye aye exhibit
@@thomaskang9382 I didn't see the aye aye on my visit. I hope to visit again soon in the coming year.
