  1. Let's get you caught up!

    Watch This Before You Visit the Bronx Zoo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWgRv7BUzZs&t=670s

    I apologize for the rushed feeling in this video and the lack of actual footage of the species on exhibit. However, this pretty much reflects the nature of the attraction and with the way it's designed, there was no way to make this into a normal tour. In reality there's also fast paced narration, you never stop to see an animal and you will never get a good look at every single species in just one ride through.

  3. Just want to post this now before the comments of animal abuse start coming up.

    Happy is fine. She doesn’t like being with other elephants. She has contact with Patty (the zoo’s other elephant not seen) there’s even a segment in one episode of The Zoo about them interacting.

  7. Even though it’s different from what I’m use to on this channel I think you did a great at capturing the monorail and it’s species though it is definitely difficult to film it. However the exhibits look great and I can’t to see more of the Bronx Zoo exhibits in the future.

    Also just one question what’s the next episode going to be on?

  9. Good evening! I'm a CYT (Conservation Youth Team) volunteer at the Virginia Zoo and I absolutely loved your video about the Trail of the Tiger! I do have one small question though, do you intend to come back down here to Hampton Roads and make tour videos about our other areas like the Okavango River Delta and the World of Reptiles? If so that'd be awesome because I'd love to show some of my fellow volunteers 😄

  11. Eld’s Deer also used to be with the Gaur. They are now kept backstage and you can sometimes see them if you look behind the Monorail at the 2nd part of the Gaur habitat

  12. Cool! Would be cool if the Bronx Zoo added a binturong enclosure there? Try to visit the Woodland Park Zoo sometime! Also, Zak, 6 zoo trivia questions for you & your girlfriend…..

    1) How many calves does the Omaha Zoo's African Elephant herd now have so far?

    2) Which zoo did the giraffe herd gave birth to a rare brown giraffe calf with no spots?

    3) Which Grevy's Zebra passed away back in May 23, 2016 after a rapid decline of health?

    4) What are the names of Belle's 10 bottlenose dolphin calves at SeaWorld San Diego?

    5) Do you prefer the San Diego Zoo to breed umbrella birds & x-ray fishes?

    6) What year will the new zoo in Las Vegas be completely built for the future?

  13. Wish they’d make a walking path around the area to see the rare deer such as the Sambar and Hog Deer which aren’t kept by other AZA facilities. I can’t wait to see your coverage of the Lesser Adjutant Stork exhibit by the Aquatic Bird House!

  19. Fun fact, the Bactrian Deer and I believe Priya The Indian Rhino came to the bronx from The Wilds and in Columbus we have Annikin’s Sister named Natasha for the Amur Tigers.

  28. I do enjoy the Monorail, especially all the large, multi-species ungulate exhibits, but I often wish I could take more time to view and photograph the animals.

    PS) While it will be sad to see the elephants eventually phased out, I look forward to seeing what the zoo does with their exhibit space.
