  • EPISODE 103
    We've gone through attractions with the focus all on local wildlife, but we've never seen anything like this before. Featuring the animals of America's backwoods is one thing, but when it comes to Florida, that's a whole other level. From the forests, to the swamps, and to the coasts, this exhibit perfectly reflects the Sunshine State's unmatched biodiversity. On this very extensive tour, you'll learn all about ZooTampa's Manatee, Otter, and raptor rescue and rehabilitation efforts. I introduce you to a variety of the Florida Wildlife Center's 85 animals - many of which we may never see again. Like a litter of seven Striped Skunks, red wolves, the Florida black bear, and the disappearing Florida panther. Enjoy!

    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!

    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

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

    • @ZooTours
      @ZooTours  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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.

    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
      @ZooTours  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

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

    • @loura246
      @loura246 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

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

    • @ZooTours
      @ZooTours  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    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?

    • @ZooTours

      Animals don't live forever, and not every desired species to fill in exhibits can be there on a quick command

    • @loura246
      @loura246 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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
