That’s a really hard choice. If I had to pick one I would choose either the Sumatran tiger or the Amur tiger. The Sumatran tiger has the most stripes but the Amur tiger lives in the boreal forests of China and Russia. Also I have three questions. 1. What is your favorite Potter Park zoo exhibit and why? 2. What is your favorite Australian section and why? 3. What zoos have you always wanted to see and why?
@@JacobFiveash No wrong answer, all tigers are great! 1. I love their Elk exhibit, originally built for Moose, it basically encloses a portion of a pond, and has a wooded section farther back. Good size too. 2. Australia & The Islands at Columbus is my favorite area featuring Australian animals. 3. The St. Louis Zoo is one I have on my radar to visit in the next couple years. They have a great large collection, and a nice mix of modern and historical exhibits. Longer term I wanna see San Diego and Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. Don't think any explanation is needed for those, they're simply spectacular.
Cool tour! I wanna go to this zoo again one day. Went once on a trip in 2002 when I was 16. At 04:10 you mentioned the Spanish calling mountain lions “gato monte” or “mountain cat”…until puma became widespread of course. But for me, speaking Spanish, the animals’ names can kinda get confusing! Especially in local areas of Mexico, where different names could be used. Lol, not really confusing, I just think it’s interesting how they refer to their wild cats, in México, Guatemala, and Costa Rica mostly. Anywhere that has multiple native felines can get confusing! I know in Mexico, bobcats are usually called _lince_ (lynx), or sometimes _lince rojo_ (red lynx), yet sometimes I hear them called _gato monte_ too. Mountain lions will usually be called just _puma_ and rarely _león monte_ …but sometimes the word _onza_ (panther) is used for pumas, and for jaguarundis, and even ocelots. You would think it’s just _jaguarundí_ or _ocelote_ (which it usually is), but they have several names, as well.
That's fair! On the flip side, as someone who's spent most of my life Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio, Memphis felt pretty far south. I was also going off the America's Best Zoos travel guide which places Memphis in their section for "Southern Zoos."
Favorite big cats are snow leopards! Absolutely beautiful!
I love the Memphis Zoo. Tigers are my favorite big cat. Their beautiful stripes are great camouflage and when they sleep it’s really cute.
Tigers are very impressive! Do you have a favorite species of Tiger?

@@DereksZooVideos0118 I think it would be great to feature the Saint Louis Zoo. What exhibit would you consider doing first?
@@JacobFiveash There's lot of good ones to choose from, but I'd have to go with the River's Edger, what I would consider the zoo's top area.
Can’t wait for the next episode!
Me neither! I've been looking forward to making it all year.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Great video will be going to Tennessee next year , can’t wait to see binder park next week…
Thanks, I definitely recommend the Memphis Zoo if you're able to do it.
As a person born and bred in Florida, I object to your characterization of Memphis Tennessee as "down south."
