Zach, I loved this episode. Not just because of the cool exhibit, but almost entirely because of the way you presented it. I have been watching every video for a few years, but the way that you are displaying this complex is going to get you very far. Keep this up! Your energy is electric and it’s going to pull more people your way!
Man, there was so much energy in this video! New intro, new Zoo, new animals, and a new year of adventures, this makes me even more excited to visit Fort Worth Zoo next year! And to answer your question, I would love to see Sumatran Rhinos at my local zoo one day.
I love carnivorous animals along with colorful birds and let me just say, you aced this episode and now one of my favorite tours on the channels, Great Job 💯%
I went to the Ft. Worth Zoo about a week ago and loved it! I hadn’t been to the zoo in almost 10 years and it looks great! As soon as I entered the zoo, I made a beeline straight to the cats. Seeing leopards again after not seeing one in 4-5 years was amazing!!
I love this tour of the Predators of Asia and Africa Tour, Zach! And for the daily question, if I wish for one animal to one come back to my local/hometown zoo being the Bronx, that would be the blesbok antelope which used to roam around the African Plains. Not a whole lot of zoos display this antelope, but I just think it might be a decent species considering the African Plains needs some more species to help shake things up even for the modern times.
For me the one rare animal in my zoo would be an animal that is only found in captivity in Europe and nowhere else and that animal is the Critically Endangered Scottish wildcat and it’s critically endangered due to persecution, habitat loss, incidental harm from predator control activities, Road collisions, Feline diseases and Hybridization with domestic cats and as of 03/01/2024 there are 115 wildcats left however there are 35 or less pure wildcats which are ones that haven’t breed with domestic cats.
For a rare animal I wish my local zoo had, I would go with Tiger Quoll or Galapagos Land Iguana though it's hard to pick jsut one, so here's a few others: Spider-Tailed Horned Viper, Marine Iguana, Flightless Cormorant, Common Wombat, Tasmanian Devil, Numbat, Greater Bilby, Quokka, Santa Fe Land Iguana, Frilled Shark, Leopard Seal, Galapagos Penguin, Emperor Penguin, Spotted Cuscus, Pure African Leopards, Tayra, Wolverine, Fisher, European Badger, Japanese Raccoon Dog, Giant Freshwater Stingray, Piraiba, Kaluga, Vaquita, and basically any other Galapagos and Australian wildlife.
Dope exibiths, I really enjoy those large shots that help us see the full extension of the habitat. Answering to the question, I would choose the Iberian Wolf, attending to my roots.
Nice tour, I like that educational display on what's the difference between predator or prey. If I had a rare animal for a zoo, it would be a Giant Gridled Lizard. 🙂👍
If I could have a rare animal at mine zoo it would be a platypus. I love platypus they are such cool animals And I would love to see more places outside of Australia get them
I have a theory, while the zoo never confirmed where the leopards are from, I believe that they came from Tanganyika Wildlife Park an unaccredited facility near Wichita KS. I went there a year before my Fort Worth Trip and saw a pair of African Leopard Cubs one regular one black, nowadays they are removed from the facility and the ones at Fort Worth are relatively small for the species.
Spread across the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, this tiger has become an icon of Indonesia's wildlife and biodiversity. However, unfortunately, the Sumatran tiger🐅 population is decreasing and is increasingly threatened with extinction. Various factors have caused serious threats to their survival😢
One zoo I would like u to visit is the Oklahoma zoo it has a large variety of animals and has raccoons (idk a rare animal it has I just never seen a racoon in any other zoos I’ve been too)
another exhibit you missed is after the African Leopards before entering the Raptor Canyon, the old Parrot Paradise walkin aviary was turned into a African Bird walkin exhibit, it contains species such as Abdim's Stork, Lesser Flamingo, Demoiselle Crane, African Pygmy Goose, African Open-Billed Stork, Violet Turaco, Hammerkop, Madagascar Crested Ibis and more!
I don't count that as part of Predators, and the zoo doesn't to either. Rather, it's own separate thing that may or may not be presented in full one day with Raptors.
If I could have a rare animal, I'd obviously pick any species of tapir found in South America (not the more famous black-and-white Malayan tapir of Southeast Asia, the tapirs of any species found in South America)
I don't know how rare they are in zoos worldwide, but I would like to display Asiatic Lions. Their African counterparts are so widespread among US zoos that the Asiatics are, in my opinion, neglected and overlooked
Compared to other species that can be found in hundreds of zoos, I would call that very rare. Although the US version of Zootierliste is also very incomplete.
Wowsers! Try to visit the San Diego Zoo Safari Park & Woodland Park Zoo next! And the rare animal that I like to have in my zoo is the Japanese Raccoon Dog! Also, here are 4 zoo trivia questions for you & your girlfriend, Zak.... 1) Which gorilla at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium passed away this month? 2) What year did the Houston Downtown Aquarium renovate the white tiger exhibit into an outdoor exhibit? 3) How many egret species thrive in SeaWorld San Diego? 4) What other new exhibits do you prefer the Houston Zoo to build for the future?
The last time I was at the Fort Worth Zoo, this was still under construction. I probably should plan for another visit at some point. I live in the Dallas area, so not TOO far. I really want to see Przewaski's Horses first, hands down. My dad saw some at the National Zoo, and I was super jealous. The Dallas Zoo started bringing in some of my favorite species over the past several years (African Wild Dog, Maned Wolf, Clouded Leopard, etc), but there's so much more that would be awesome to see.
I’d pick most zoo What should’ve had kept (in San Diego LA Milwaukee Bronx Brookfield and even philadelphia) Proboscis monkey Red shanked langurs Geladas (depending on which species of baboon is more exotic) Uakaris monkeys Golden snub monkeys Platypus Tasmanian devils Giant pandas Emperor penguins Great hornbills Hoopoes Hoatzins Quetzals Albatross Gannets Frigatebirds Boobies(red or blue footed) Walruses Elephant seals African forest elephants African buffaloes Black wildebeests Gaurs (they had one in the bronx but still) Banteng Nilgai Sable antelopes Kob Hartebeests Wisent Three toed sloths Galapagos land iguanas And Amazonian river dolphins
Lindos os leopardos nebulosos! Se eu pudesse ter um animal raro no meu zoológico seria o tatu canastra (Priodontes maximus). Infelizmente, ele está extinto no meu estado já faz muitos anos e se classifica como "vulnerável" pela IUCN. Um abraço do Brasil🇧🇷
"If You Could Have ONE Rare Animal In Your Zoo..." Well this is gonna be tricky for me... I'm mainly a sucker for birds and reptiles, so I guess I'd bring in either a Superb Bird-Of-Paradise (you know, that bird famous for making a cyan face as an attractive display), a Great Eared Nightjar (love myself a draconic-lookin birb), a Sulawesi Black Sailfin Lizard (cool points not just to its appearance but for both common AND scientific names), or a Red-Eyed Crocodile Skink (look it up and tell me it doesn't look like a real life dragon!)
Omaha has kept brown hyenas in the past, and I’d LOVE it if we could get them someday. They’re such a unique species, it’s a real shame we don’t have them in zoos here in the USA-I’d have to fly to Africa (or some zoos in Europe and Mexico) Brazilian short eared dogs as an honorable mention too, but they’re not even kept in any zoos lol
You are correct because I work at the Columbus Zoo and we indeed have the only other African Leopards in the AZA, we have 2 males ( Brothers ) named Jamie and Tyrion.
If I could keep one rare animal in my zoo, it would be an okapi, because they are my 3rd favorite animal. By the way, for your next zoo tour, you should visit the Oakland Zoo or the Fresno Chaffee Zoo. They are both equally good zoos in California.
there's like many unique species i would wish they would include including in the Toronto Zoo. if i were to choose one, it would be amazing if they be able to include Pangolins and Leopard Seals in it
