Very Nice zoo. All animals had Very Nice habitats. Well maintained zoo! Fav animal bears enjoying the water.
Yes Janet, all the animals looked healthy. The bear's enjoying the water was a definite highlight. The wolves exploring the boxes was fun to watch.
A very Fantastic zoo
My favorites we're the bears playing in the water and the wolves getting the treats out of the boxes. 😃
nice video tom my favorite parts of this video was the Wolves, pronghorn and elk but what I liked the most that joke you told about the human sacrifice to the alligator
I really enjoyed watching the wolves inspecting the boxes for treats. The White wolf was so pretty. I know my jokes are silly most of the time, that's what's the funniest part of them 🤧
Very nice zoo and a lot to look round and it is nice and sunny day and nice to see the animals and snake
It's a very nice zoo, lots to enjoy.
The alligator snapping turtle's habitat used to hold an American crocodile.
Both are exciting animals to see. It's good they didn't need to change the habitat.
a nice park good job. I don't have time to watch all of it now, but I will. Flamingos are my favorits too
Thanks Lori, I hope you enjoy the tour when you have the time to watch it.
@@TomsRoadTrippin I will and thanks
For a small sized zoo it is nice. Our zoo where I live is on the smaller size but are looking to relocate.
While this is one of the smallest zoo's I've been to, they had a great variety of animals. It was a bummer all the bird's we're off habitat, their safety is more important.
God bless Hershey Park
Very cool place, plus I love chocolate 😄
That is a very nice small zoo. 🙂
Yes it was very enjoyable, shame all the birds we're off habitat due to the avian flu.
interesting the amount of floridian animals here! is it specifically a florida section?
(edit:) oh I see, "southern swamps"!
Welcome to Pennsylvania Tom. Did you get your AZA membership yet?
Thanks Linda, I was excited to be in Pennsylvania. I have been thinking about getting an AZA membership for awhile.

That's the one 😊
I think this person should know that those are burrowing owls and they're in the movie Hoot.
Thank You for that tidbit of info 😀
@@TomsRoadTrippin You're welcome.
Hello, Vietnam Zoo 🇻🇳.

Those all sound like great places to visit, hopefully one day I'll see them for myself
Go to Reptile Gardens sometime
Once I get to South Dakota I will stop in fir a tour.
I think this person should know that these birds were in the movies Labyrinth and Legends of the Guardians the Owls of Gahoole. But the snowy Owl was in the Harry Potter books and movies.
Those are magnificent birds, the movies are fantastic too
The birds inches free were road runners
They sre a lot smaller than I thought they'd be. Darn Roadrunner in cartoons are huge.
Canada geese not Canadian geese, nam3dxfrom the Latin name canadaensis
Thanks for the correction, I'll use the correct name from now on.
