    You think someone claiming that a tapir is a bear is bad? I was at Disney's Animal Kingdom a long time ago and when we went to the Giant Anteater enclosure near The Tree of Life, someone actually said that it was "the thing that looks like a dog".

    I hate it when people can tapirs anything that they are not. These are beautiful creatures that people should read the labels.

    Congratulations on a thousand subscribers! You should do a video on Jelani the male Silverback that likes to look at videos on your phone! He is amazing to say the least. He will hang out with you for a good twenty minutes and seems to treat each guest in a different and special way. There are no words. Your videos are awesome.

    Seeing the Malayan tapirs brought back memories of when the Cincinnati zoo housed them many years ago in the elephant house, which they formerly shared with the hippo, African elephant, giraffe, and Indian rhino.

    1:15 this may not be as true for Tortoises. Giant tortoises existed throughout the globe and a number existed on mainland. In fact, one lived quite recently here in North America. Only going extinct towards the early Holocene!
    HOWEVER, the isolation and lack of predators certainly helped with the size growth. And the isolation also allowed them to survive for far longer! So in a way, living on islands did play into their evolution and survival!

      Zoo Tours Good luck! It took me nearly 2 hours to wait for the Eld's Deer and Blackbuck to appear in the Maharajah Jungle Trek. Also, you barely have time to get any decent footage on Kilimanjaro Safaris. I skipped it on my last visit. You'll like SeaWorld if you're a coaster enthusiast, but hit the lines early!

    I noticed there was a sign on the glass of the former Rockhopper Penguin exhibit. What did that sign say? Was it regarding why the penguins were not there?

    I visited the zoo back in November. it was disappointing, though Islands was amazing! Also one of my favorites. A lot of the building was off limits due to renovations though :(. I saw my first Nene, Babirusa, and Cuban Crocodiles.

    I definitely don't enjoy rotating exhibits. Zoo exhibits spaces are not big enough for the animals to feel comfortable with smells of other animals. I guess it may make them get stressed. I bet it would be much better to make a mix exhibit. (Of course, with animals that are able to live together). Anyway, the zoo staff knows what they're doing.

    • @ZooTours

      Animals smelling other animals' scents is probably the most natural thing that happens in a zoo...

      For 1996 it most certainly was, especially since it was the first of its kind
