This was the very section of the zoo that made me fall in love with Zoo Design. Just everything added up in here not only culminated in an overall immersive experience, but an incredibly educational one as well. And the best part? The fun never stopped. It just felt like a huge expose for North American wildlife and it was just an incredible experience. ZooTampa has to be the best zoo I've visited and it brought so much joy to see you show it off once again!

Love to see the zoo helping out manatees! Really like this whole exhibit. It’s awesome that a lot of these animals are rescues.

Great job with this episode! I love this diverse collection! Trivia Answer: He got his name because he is a Cuban Iguana, and the Cuban sandwich is very popular in Florida.

This is an awesome exhibit at probably one of my favorites at Tampa, I always look forward to it

I’m happy to see you finally return to ZooTampa, was lucky enough to get to visit it over this years spring break, getting the chance to see the False Gharial, Manatees, and Florida Panther was such a great experience, I hope to visit again once the changes to Florida are done, I’m guessing the next section you’ll do a tour is is Primates

This may be the most fascinating zoo video I’ve ever watched.

We’re traveling to Florida for our first time ever from Alaska at the end of this month and we plan on going here ! Super excited

I gotta say, the thumbnail for this video is one of the best ones yet!

I interned here for 6 months this year, right behind the Tomistoma and Key West area! I was probably there when you filmed this! This is my childhood local zoo and I love seeing how much care is put into these vids.

very good, this zoo also rehabs and releases wild animals back into the wild, also this place is incredible. Very good video I like it.

Yooooo love your vids looking forward to this one as well!! Much love from Okc! Gotta come check out our zoo soon man.

love your tours always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are completely renovating the upper side of this exhibit! The new Florida Wilds will open in spring 2022

Love your vids Keep up the good work

Hi my name is Nicholas Korea and I live in Central Florida in a small town called Winter Haven only two hours from Tampa and this is my local Zoo because it's the nearest zoo I am currently 10 years old and I always loved animals one of my biggest fascinations is the dinosaurs and another one that I just gotten into is army men so I am really excited for this video😊😊😊

That stingray thing is devastating

I went to the zoo, it was amazing! Unfortunately most of the Florida section was under construction at the time. The manatee exhibit was my personal favorite.

Hopefully to visit one day. Enjoyed your sharing 🎁

Yay! Nice job, Zach!

0:32 I would be surprised, but then I remember that this is Florida.

Despite being a lizard, I think Sandwich can be considered an honorary Florida Man

Wow, just wow!

Zuka-Zama!!! Also this is episode 103, eh! Also, visit the Woodland Park Zoo soon because it's the last few weeks there to see animatronic dinosaurs there, along with visiting the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, too! Leaping Velociraptor!🦕🦖

I absolutely love your videos they both so informative and also give a good look at all zoos. One question though: How did you figure out the size of the exhibits? Through a website or something?

Went here and it's awesome 😎

I live in Tampa so I go to this zoo a lot. its a very nice zoo and I have to say my favorite is probably the elephants or the pygmy hippos

When zak said manatees are slow I laughed I swam with manatees in homasassa springs Florida and they out swam me! I’m a surfer lol. Love you zak I work at the Bronx zoo come visit!!!

At first I thought I have never been here but then the more I watched it I starting to now that I have been here because I remember stingray bay

One of my favorite animal alligator

I live in Massachusetts, there are lots of spotted turtles

DO A TOUR OF THE DENVER ZOO OR CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN ZOO down here we have a really good zoo facility, and spectacular animals

I wish there was a live stream

Have you heard of the Texas wild exhibit at the Fort Worth zoo?

Fantastic video as usual, but one off-topic question, why did you take all the episode numbers out of video titles?

@ZooTours

2 жыл бұрын

Since I hid most of my older, poorer quality videos, the numbers were removed to avoid confusion. This way I can also post a redo without a random number where it doesn't belong. The private videos can still be seen in the playlists.

that could be help for my zoobuilding theme videogame novel

So apparently 12 stingrays died due to supersaturation. Yikes. Stingray touch pools are honestly pretty risky habitat to maintain because one malfunction can be equal to deaths of all of them in one go. John Ball Zoo, Calgary Zoo, and Brookfield Zoo learned this the hard way. Oh and did I see a sign "Do not feed or MOLEST the gators??" Whatever the f happened that made the zoo made that sign?

@ZooTours

That Alligator sign is very common throughout the Southeast. Molest is another word for 'bother'

The supersaturation event happened due to a system malfunction. The zoo has committed to replacing and upgrading the system before taking in more rays

Now I want to go 😂😫

You can see a tricolored heron at 8:55

1:59 I remember seeing them at Lincoln Park zoo

This habitat is coming soon in spring 2022

Is the iguana named after the Cuban Sandwich?

They lost they’re Manatee rehab license for a year in the great Dr. Ray” The Rogue Vet.” Ball case.

Anything changed since your last tour? Planning on going Jan 2024. I heard they had 6 Komodo babies, thought they had Indian and False Gharials.

In terms of the Florida area, the second half looks like it was recently renovated on a $10 budget. They took average exhibits and turned them into one's that you'd find in roadside zoos. The last time I was there, the red wolves were where the cranes were. Those are the only significant changes I can think of.

Can somebody explain what happened to the stingrays cus I live in Europe and the website doesn’t work for European users

Dude literally put a link in the description

Also the reason stingray bay closed was that 12 string rays died from human sickness is think

i remember being at a beach in Orlando Florida and seeing a Florida manatee and the staff at the beach told every one to get out, and i didn't know why, but now i know it was because the species was endangered

He didn't delete them; he put them as unlisted because he is planning on making redos of his earlier tours, and he is putting the original tours on the descriptions of these videos.

Iwant go to this zoo but i never go to florida 😑😑😑

0:32 *what happened here*

0:46 aint nobody told me that we got apes, gorillas, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, shoebill storks? jaguars, african painted dogs, african penguins, aldabra giant tortoises, galapagos giant tortoises, gharials, komodo dragons, malayan tapirs and tigers, hippopotamus, sun bears, and wallabies in Florida. *this is all a joke btw lol*

He's a cuban iguana. He is named after the Cuban sandwich, which is very popular in Tampa because we have a lot of Cuban immigrants here

Its amazing the care these animals get, yet flordia busses immigrants 1/2 way across the nation to democraticly ranbstates telling them they can find jobs there.

Let me get this straight. This zoo is LOCATED IN FLORIDA and the animals in their Wild Florida exhibit are … not even from the United States. This is the most Florida thing ever. Where tf are the American crocodiles and key deer?

For better or worse, all the species in this section of the zoo can be found wild in some parts of Florida. It's an accurate reflection of the wildlife we have. There isn't much space for adding new species, so they are focused on improving the existing exhibits
