Zoo Tours: The Living Desert Zoo's African Safari | PART I
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
EPISODE 139
After a little more than a year we are going back to the Desert! Palm Desert California is home to the Living Desert Zoo, what might as well be the most underrated zoological park in America. For part one we explored the newer Australian Adventures, and once again I am updating you on what's new at the Living Desert Zoo. For the last few years the park has been expanding on their already expansive African Safari, a 20 acre realm that boasts over 30 species that thrive in the harsh desert. To keep you interested in everything, this episode will be split into two parts.
Part one will cover the new Rhino Savanna, a multi acre flex habitat, that actually mixes Black Rhinos with EIGHT other species! On certain days the rhinos can be separated but the smaller creatures are always free to roam in between two exhibits and access parts of the enclosure that the rhinos cannot. Not only that, but depending on where they are, these animals can walk ABOVE mongooses, mole-rats, and even you. Enjoy.
FULL SPECIES LIST:
Rhino Savanna - Opened in 2021 and Completed in 2022
1. Banded Mongoose
2. Dwarf Mongoose
3. Naked Mole-Rat
4. One exhibit that can be turned into two: Eastern Black Rhinoceros, Waterbuck, Springbok, Helmeted Guineafowl, Great White Pelican, Pink-backed Pelican, Cape Vulture (wasn't seen), Klipspringer (wasn't seen), Cattle Egret
5. Generic Giraffe, Grey Crowned Crane, Ostrich, Greater Kudu
6. Cape Porcupine
7. Warthog

Another thank you is in order for Marc, who selflessly films and provides the channel with professional quality footage of zoos that I would otherwise never reach.

Same goes for another hoofstock, but they are the answer to the trivia question at the end the video:)

I've been to the Sonora Desert Museum before! It's a stone's throw from White Stallion Ranch, a dude ranch that I go to every Thanksgiving with my family.

I have been to The Living Desert Zoo and we loved it. It was a lot of fun and we really liked feeding the giraffe. I also loved the outdoor train lay out. I think that train lovers should go to this zoo just for the train set up.What a plus for this zoo.
The amount of effort that goes into these ♥. And great jot to Mark (Idk how to spell it correctly).
A rly nice display with a good variation of different hights. my top 3 Zoos i visited: 1. Pairi Daizy 2. Tierpark Berlin 3. Antwerp Zoo

Zounds! When will Part 2 come? And try to visit the Woodland Park Zoo sooner or later! Also, 4 zoo trivia questions for you & your girlfriend, Zak.... 1) What's the name of the SF Zoo's recent female black rhinoceros that passed away over the past years? 2) What ideas would you predict of how Tikal the jaguar lost his tail when he came to the SF Zoo from the Sacramento Zoo? 3) Besides the dromedary camels, what other camel species did the San Diego Zoo once breed back in 2004 to 2009? 4) Besides Claude, how many other alligators did the California Academy Of Sciences once have back in 2001? Plus, my 3 top favorite Zoos are the San Diego Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, & Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium!🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

Anybody who lives in Palm Springs and want new Dreamworks animal led films with animals they see at the Living Desert Zoo, go apply for Dreamworks Animation Studio and convince them to make a subsidiary that will only produce animal led films and will include previous films like Antz, Chicken Run, Spirit films, Shark Tale, Madagascar franchise films, Over the Hedge, Flushed Away, Bee Movie, Kung Fu Panda films, Turbo and Bad Guys. Also, one of the films that should happen in the future for example is a film taking place in East Africa and will feature a female giraffe character.
