Glad to hear it! That's great!

I imagine that can be kinda weird 😁. It helps add some perspective though to realize that everyone you see on TH-cam is just normal people. 🙂 Thanks man!

Glad to hear it. Hope it didn't have too many spoilers 😁😉. Did it work out for you to drop in yourself?

@@escapetothezoo it was great! so beautiful all lit up for the holidays :) we loved the dolphins!!!

Ooh, lit up. That would be cool! And yeah, the dolphins are awesome!

I'm not sure why his front top teeth were gone, but he seemed to have all the rest. Maybe his age? 🤷‍♂️

Certainly not against that. We did go by the wolves, but they were too far back for us to really get much of a look - maybe next time indeed.

Yeah, very true

bro that is sad :(

No kidding? Oh well, I guess that gives us a good reason to double back someday 😁😁

Yes definitely it’s the biggest penguin exhibit in the world. It’s very cool to experience. And there soooo many penguins so you’ll see a lot of activity from them all!

Wow. I'm glad I didn't know that when we went or that would have been even more disappointing! 🙃

@@escapetothezoo yeah true 😂

@@escapetothezooI’m still watching the video but it’s been great! Keep up the good work.

Oh yeah? That's cool!

Wow, that is quite a change. Cool to hear!

Hey man! Yeah, I hope to always be putting up stuff from visits we make to zoos, we just haven't been able to get to many of late with my schedule, and our closest zoo now that we've moved is the Greenville Zoo, which is . . . Rather underwhelming. I actually have a couple videos to put up once I get around to editing, and hopefully we'll be able to make some more stops this summer 🙂

@@escapetothezoo Great!!

Oh that'll be cool! Nothing like going in person 😁

Noted 🙂

@@escapetothezoo if you come back I suggest you eat at the cafe. When I was a kid in the eighties it was the cat house.

Oh really? So you mean just recently? That's kinda cool! I can also see what you mean about the jump though. Surely it's too much for them ??? 🙃

I suppose I did kind of leave that open ended, huh?😁😁 While there are probably other areas that I don't recall all the details of while being there, my main disagreements would have to do with the evolutionary biology and the age of the universe. I believe God created the world and while many studies have led some to believe the need for millions of years, there are other studies that explain why that amount of time isn't necessary. At the end of the day, both sides have to trust in a constant that predates our ability to study with observable science.

This was my question as well. You beat me to it!

They do indeed seem to respond to his voice 😁🤣

Columbus Zoo? That's cool! That used to be our home zoo before we moved. How is it there?

@@escapetothezoo Amazing I grew up in Ohio so it has always been my home zoo moved to SC for a year and went to Riverbanks when I moved back to Ohio it was a no brainer to work at the Columbus Zoo

I'd say it would be 😅. That's great. Hoping to drop in next time we come up

How old is Little Boy? unless he's a replacement i think he's lived there in the pond by the restaurant for many many years. i dont think he was much smaller when i was a kid 25 years ago when the restaurant was a burger king

They have their benefits, but for the most part just annoying 🥴🤣🤣

@@escapetothezoo ya

As we miss you! Hoping to have a video of a certain backyard "activity" to send to you soon 😁

Oh wow, that is hilarious 😂. I had just never seen any that far north. And then I found out they have some up in Michigan 🤷‍♂️🤯😁

I saw you in another video and you said you released them on purpose. And you’re not the reason. Wall lizards are in Ohio because someone went on vacation to Italy me bought some of the lizards there to his home in Cincinnati, then released them. So that’s why wall lizards live in and around Cincinnati

Wow, for free - that's cool.

Yeah it really is. Interested in trying it out at some other places

Oh wow, that's cool! I imagine they got their share of snow up there 😁

@@escapetothezoo The fountain you showed is all I remember. I'm in Dallas now and the zoo here is pretty cool

Oh yeah, that fountain is pretty iconic. I've heard they've got some pretty cool zoos over there.

That's funny you would ask. I actually have a couple of videos I am about to put up. Haven't had the ability to visit places as frequently anymore, but still planning to put stuff up as we drop into places 🙂

No kidding? That is an interesting change for sure.

@@escapetothezoo right?

You're not kidding! It's definitely in the middle of nowhere 😁😁

Yes, the wagon ride is awesome! Definitely better for those big animals 😁😁

Would be interested in doing the drive thru portion from a truck bed 🙂. It is great for all ages though!

Thanks! I'm sure that was a great time - that would be pretty cool! Would love to try those out some day!

Would love to someday. If I'm passing through and have the time, you better believe I will 😁😁

Sorry, I saved all of that for one video 😁 th-cam.com/video/-NAutB7RWHw/w-d-xo.html

Cool! Yeah, we were there in late September during the week, so weather and school having started did make for lower crowds 😁

No kidding? Oh well 🙃

No kidding? Have they added a lot over the years or have they always had this range of stuff?

I live near this zoo and been to it multiple times, and I totally agree, the zoo has very little space, and very unnatural looking habitats, every time I go the animals always look so depressed and not very active. I even went to a summer behind the scenes camp, and they really didn't do much as far as enrichment. It's sad honestly.

@@johnnyreb5345 I’ve lived in Greenville for nearly twenty years and I never bothered visiting the zoo. I generally hate the idea of zoos. Although I understand that sometimes they’re necessary for conservation. I got curious at some point because all I’ve ever seen of Greenville Zoo are pictures and the exhibits always seemed awfully small to me, even when they try tricking the audience with a wide angle lens. I was going to visit to see for myself. But after watching this video, the only thing I’ll be doing is calling the mayor’s office or whomever is willing to listen. Either invest in expansion or transfer the animals to a better equipped zoo. This is ridiculous. Day in day out, these animals are living in perpetual boredom and constriction! How can people not see it?! Lions have on average less than 18k miles in a zoo than they would in the wild. Although no zoo can obviously match that, Greenville’s zoo is not big enough for even a decent baseline!

That was pretty cool, huh! Sometimes you gotta pull out the stars 😁😁😉

Right? 🤣🤣 I hate to be that guy, but . . . We all make mistakes 😁

No joke 🤣🤣

They're something for sure!
