A zoo just had twin elephants .... I thought my mother had said it was Toledo Zoo... but I guess she said thailand...and I misheard her. Oh Toledo Zoo had Bali Myna birds... pretty rare @the time... Pandas I've seen pandas in Toledo and San Diego zoo both. And I've seen the Wyoming toads. Had Golden lion tameron @ detroit zoo in the 80's ...they were super rare
This is such an amazing African theme section for a Zoo! Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to capture, edit and show this to us all! I would have to say the rarest animal I've seen is a sloth bear
Watching this brought back memories of my visit about 12 years ago. A great reminder that I definitely need to get back there someday. The rarest animal I've seen would probably be the Bear Cuscus at Memphis. The only one on display in the Western Hemisphere I believe.
Awesome Video. And as for the rarest zoo animal I have ever seen I would say Red Wolves and Sloth Bears. I have only see both species once out of some 30 plus zoos I have been to across the American West and Midwest.
The rarest Animal that I have ever seen would definitely be the Sumatran Rhino at my hometown zoo in Cincinnati. After the death of the other one, I guess the zoo felt that the remaining one would be better off in his natural habitat. Yes, I miss Harapan, but it was probably all for the best.
Great Video! Rarest Zoo animal I’ve ever seen is probably the Coroboree frog, which is my country’s rarest frog (Australia), with less than 50 left in the wild
I don't know if they're the absolute rarest I've ever seen, but Pittsburgh keeps Northern Elephant Seals and behind the scenes keeps White-Bellied Tree Pangolins
I would have to say the rarest species I’ve seen is the przewalski’s horse. I live in Ontario, Canada, and we don’t have many zoos in my area, but I have seen some in the Toronto zoo
Colchester Zoo houses Western Blue Duiker and I was so happy to photograph them for my portfolio on my visit back in November. ZSL London Zoo houses 1 female Red Forest Duiker mixed with their Okapi. She has been at the zoo for 8 years and she is always a delight to see.
Javan gibbons at the Greensboro Science Center in NC! I wasn’t even aware about just how rare they were until I saw all the other gibbons that zoos mainly have. Growing up seeing those guys all the time makes me feel so special and happy that I’ve been able to meet such rare and amazing animals!
The rarest animal I’ve ever seen was the black panther, white tiger, and Amur leopard at the Zoological Wildlife Foundation here in Florida. Most beautiful big cats I’ve ever seen.
Zuka-zama!!! Try visiting the Woodland Park Zoo, Oakland Zoo, San Francisco Zoo, & Sacramento Zoo soon!! Plus, 4 zoo trivia questions for you & your girlfriend, Zak... 1) What year did the San Diego Zoo Safari Park have the recent "Dino Mountain" attraction? 2) When did the San Diego Zoo's 45-year old Asian Elephant, Devi, passed away? 3) Which sun bear from the Oakland Zoo passed away this year? 4) How many Komodo Dragons does the San Francisco Zoo now have, since the 4-year old male arrived, recently? And as for the rarest animals I saw in zoos, they would be ringtail cats, basilisk lizards, Andean Cock-Of-The-Rocks, African Openbills, & Steller's Sea Eagles! Jumping Tuojiangosaurus!🦒🦓🐘
Well because I’ve been to 15 zoos in America a lot of them had some rare gems plus I haven’t any of these other animals in any other zoo yet. Columbus-African Leopards, Feather-Tailed Glider, Alaskan Moose, Golden-Mantled Flying Fox, Asian Water Monitor. Cincinnati-Sumatran Rhino-before they went back to Sumatra, Aardwolf, Kea Parrot, Sumatran Elephant and a whole lot in San Diego Zoo and Safari Park
@@ZooTours agreed. I was very lucky to get a single clip on my phone with a platypus silhouette in the frame for about two seconds, before it was time for me to move.
Fingers crossed that people will disperse by the end of the day. Something tells me it's like San Diefo with their former pandas - only single file, and very limited time.
The rarest animal I have seen in a zoo is not a very impressive animal but it is the Neurergus kaiseri, it is part of the list of the 100 most endangered species of living beings in the world 😱 I watch you from France 🇨🇵 and you have incredible zoos in the USA 🤩 My dream is to go around the world of zoos, starting with the USA 👊
The rarest zoo animal I have ever seen is probably the giant panda at Smithsonian national zoo but, I have only been to 9 zoos so I still have more animals to see!!🐼
Hmmmm rarest animal. It's either the Khsani spray toad or the ring tailed mongoose, I saw them both at the Bronx zoo. Also amazing tour, as always. Hopefully I'll one day go there especially to see their Shoebills.
Rarest animal I've seen: sf zoo has a small section for California native plants and animals. One tiny little water tank had a san Francisco forktail larvae, a species of damsel fly exclusive to the sf bay area
@@Thecreaturedrawingkindaguy there was. They replaced it with the walkthrough Aviary in the South American’s Pantanal enclosure. Thankfully, if their Master Plan comes to fruition we should be getting them back in an African expansion along with hippos. s28164.pcdn.co/files/HZI_Strategic_Plan.pdf
The rarest animal I have ever seen was Nola the Northern white rhino at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. At the time, she was one of 4 alive but now there are only 2
I don’t know if it’s necessarily the rarest animal I’ve seen, but the Smithsonian zoo houses Cayman blue iguanas, which are endemic to one tiny island in the Caribbean. I actually went to Grand Cayman once and saw a couple wild ones. In 2006 there were estimated to be only 15 of the lizards on the island, but thanks to captive breeding and reintroduction their numbers have recovered significantly, but they are still endangered.
The proboscis monkeys, as well as Inuka the Polar Bear (Rest in Peace, Inuka) are like the rarest zoo animals I have ever seen, since I've only been to the Singapore Zoo and nowhere else. I've known Inuka all my life whenever I go to the zoo on every visit, and when I realize he is dying in 2018, I paid him one visit to see him one last time. The proboscis monkeys are a different story. So far Singapore has like the only successful breeding population of Proboscis Monkeys there, and unless other zoos allow them in Singapore Zoo may be the only place to see proboscis monkeys in the flesh.
I work at a zoo in northwestern Florida called The emerald Coast zoo. And I think the rarest animal I've worked with so far, has got to be our Borneo bat-eater python. As being a hybrid they rarely occur in the wild. Or maybe our fly River turtle, and of course there's our black jaguar.
The rarest zoo animal i’ve ever seen, is probably: a bear cuscus and the Spix’s macaw. Oh! And where did i see them? Well, i saw them in Pairi Daiza in Bruglette Belgium, where i live.
rarest zoo animal as in rare in the wild would be the Guam Rail and Micronesian Kingfisher rare in zoos, there is quite a few: Tuatara - Dallas Zoo Perentie - Dallas Zoo Double-Eyed Fig Parrot - Dallas Zoo(last of his kind on the continent) Walrus - SeaWorld Orlando Blue Duiker - San Antonio Zoo Guam Rail - San Antonio Zoo Kreftt's River Turtle - Brevard Zoo Adelie Penguin - SeaWorld Orlando Common Wombat - Houston Zoo(formerly) Gunther's Dik-Dik - Cameron Park Zoo(was the last one on the continent, sadly he passed away) White-Headed Lemur - Naples Zoo(last of her kind on the continent) Honey Badger - Naples Zoo Southern Hairy-Nosed Wombat - ZooMiami Red Wolf - Fort Worth Zoo Brown-Throated Three-Toed Sloth - Dallas World Aquarium(last of his kind on the continent) Shoebill Stork - Houston Zoo(formerly), Dallas World Aquarium Golden-Bellied Mangabey - San Antonio Zoo(formerly) Giant River Otter - Houston Zoo, DWA, Brevard Zoo Antillean Manatee - Dallas World Aquarium and I'll stop there but there is more haha
How subjective things are! I have several krefts river turtle, I have owned perenty and have reared orphan wombats ( both species). I'm Australian so they're not rare here. Though I've never seen a puma, a raccoon, a grey squirrel or a cardinal!
@@graphite2786 yep, crazy how things are different on other countries, we don't have any zoos with Quolls or Numbats, but similarly animals that are common over here like Mountain lions, raccoons, and ball Pythons are rare to nonexistent in Australian zoos
Hoping that the Hartmann’s mountain zebras, impalas and Nile lechwe come back but I recently found out the zoo’s lone Hartmann’s mountain zebra stallion Rex was moved to Disney’s Animal Kingdom over the summer and is doing well
I've seen at least three species kept by only one US Zoo: Travancore Tortoise (Philadelphia), Vicuna (Southwicks), and Golden-bellied Mangabey (Cleveland).
The rarest animals I have seen includes the Golden Mangabey and Onagers and Bontebok at the Cleveland Zoo, the banded palm civet, Sumatran Rhino or one of the auklet species and the several rare cat species in the Cat House at the Cincinnati Zoo, Tiger Quoll at the Columbus Zoo, several rare reptiles at both the Atlanta, Knoxville and Toledo Zoos, finally Giant Pandas from Memphis and Atlanta and the drills at Atlanta. If anyone would like to help me list more rare animals from zoos I have visited I would appreciate it. I have been to Cincinnati, Columbus, Toledo, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Louisville, Atlanta, Knoxville and Memphis zoos
When will the North Carolina zoo Africa section come? Also I’ve seen a tenrec I think that’s pretty rare Also a white rhino Chinese alligator Siberian tiger Sea otters Cassowary Dingos Dik dik Many rare lemurs Lots of cool animals that aren’t too common
