    This section of the zoo looks amazing. We have in the Zoo Zürich also a enclosure for the gelada, who lives together with the nubian ibex and the rock hyrax.

    @chasemurraychristopherdola7108 4 роки тому +19

    Actually the hyrax is more related to elephants and aardvarks as well as manatees and duogon

      From the Smithsonian's Definitive Guide 'Animal', where I get most of my script info - "Although hyraxes resemble rabbits in size, genetic evidence suggests they are more closely related to primitive hoofed mammals."

    What's really cool is that the African penguins and leapord sharks are mixed together. Wow.

    I remember being one of the first few people to preview Africa Rocks. By that time, the penguin, crocodile, and lemur exhibit was completed. It took another 2 months to see the whole thing. I can't believe how much the San Diego Zoo has improved over time.
    Also, I remember some penguins being in Discovery Outpost while Africa Rocks was being built. So technically, you're kind of right.

    • @ZooTours
      @ZooTours  4 роки тому +1

      I didn't want to say the Penguin thing because I also was there when they had them in the Children's Zoo (2015). So I was aware the statement was false, however, I just took the words straight from several articles and the zoo itself.

      Of all the new exhibits, the leopard area is the weakest. Like most the attraction, no, it is not ideal for photographers.

      Zoo Tours my least favorite zoo is Cleveland nothing really against it. But my least favorite exhibit is walroo station at Zoo Tampa it is just plain bad for an Australia exhibit worse than Cleveland’s and way worse than Columbus’s. It doesn’t have much variety it doesn’t even have Walroos if a animal shows up in the name they better have it. And they framed it to be really like an area for small kids instead of a regular exhibit.

    • @ZooTours
      @ZooTours  4 роки тому +1

      Since it was in between Fynbos and West Africa, no, the nocturnal house would've been its own feature. Wouldn't be surprised if that's why it wasn't included.
      If the building existed then no, I would not have been able to film close ups. Which is a shame because I see that Cincinnati's aye-ayes are active every time I go, but not even my own eyes (or anyone's) can clearly see them. Unless I ever get an infrared camera, I'll never feature a Nocturnal House again.
