    What zoo should we look at next!?

    In the Jaguar house pictures. The one of the aquarium, you can see a rope on the left wall; that’s where the sloth live, they have zero barriers and just climb around above guests.
    The monorail was in the process of being demolished at the start of the year as it didn’t cover half the zoo!
    Oh you were looking for pounds for currency 😉

    Just for future reference, it's called Chester Zoo, or just Chester. We never call it 'THE Chester Zoo'. Love this video though!

    I've been a member of chester zoo all my life it's an amazing zoo which I never get bored of visiting :) best design I love from it is the sloths inside the jaguar's house. They have rope above the guests pathway so the sloths are above your head :)

    Went to Chester Zoo when holidaying in Southport. Took family(2 kids). Fantastic day but ruined it due to time we got there and weather. Zoo was pretty dead too due to time of year we visited. BUT One of the best zoos I have been in. Now I have Planet Zoo I am going to try and mimic this zoo's layout best I can with my limited playing skills at PZ.

    One of the zoo shows on Animal Planet that I like to watch is the one about the Chester Zoo. It's odd to see it from a guests point of view because the show is all behind the scenes. I didn't realize how large or how beautiful it is.

    That Southeast Asia area looks really cool! Reminds me of one of London Zoo's newer attractions, which I'm sure you'll like to explore when you cover that one. They have a simulated indian village wish asian lions and other animals, and the setting includes some little houses full of domestic decor, a little market, I think even a small fake train station, and posters everywhere which combine the casual indian atmosphere with actual educational info. I had never seen something so tematic and storytelling-focused before I went there, and the indian theme in PZ is perfect to replicate what they did.

    The Realm of the red ape, is actually just the newer house, the old house is all off show (with the offshow outside being the one with the wooden fence). Inside realm of the red ape is 3 indoor areas, and 4 outdoor areas, two netted within the building) and two large un-netted (west and north as per the zoo map). The other outdoor enclosure, was a mixed babirusa and Asian short-clawed otter. Inside they also have several birds and reptile exhibits.
    Lastly the monorail is due to taken out, ready for the new savannah grasslands area around the painted dogs.
    Tropical realm is a rather dated enclosure now, it used to be home to gorillas (which where eastern lowland gorillas the only ones in captivity), also the chimps indoor housing used to be there until they built there new house.

      Thanks for the info! Sounds like they are really transforming the zoo. Shame about the monorail, but the new habitat should be great!

      @chrisstanley4405 4 роки тому +1

      @@BeyondDrewTV yes, just a shame some of the recent developments have not been as good. The monorail is unreliable and often broken down, which are the main reasons for the removal. Although removing it means there is no easy why to move around what was a big zoo that is only getting bigger.
      Check out wild place in Bristol, only getting glowing reviews from people. Yorkshire wildlife park similar but its very mammal heavy.

    That intro song was perfect. It's a cold day here and your video definitely fit. Question for you: How prevalent are overlooks in modern zoos? The Planet Zoo trailer showed them in spades but to be honest I've never seen one in real life. I imagine you could almost build an entire zoo with walkways above only.

    • @BeyondDrewTV
      @BeyondDrewTV  4 роки тому

      I’ve found it to be more common in modern zoos more so! Older zoos typically have a path that’s the same height as a exhibit and they’ll be separated by ditches and moats. That seems to be a thing of the past now and zoos more so have the path walk through an exhibit. Really interesting stuff!

      @@BeyondDrewTV It's hilarious that I ask this question and Geekism releases his Zebra Lookout video within the hour. If you've seen it, I love the look of it, but I'd add a glass walled restaurant underneath with stairs/elevators going down. 360° immersive view.
