Hi Tom. I stumbled across your Denver zoo tour after searching for a walkthrough on TH-cam. I was born and raised in Denver Colorado but living in Oregon now. I went to the Denver zoo every weekend growing up. Both my mom and dad had memberships because I loved it there so much. Your videos helped me relive that experience again. I almost felt like a kid seeing all my favorite animals again. I wanted to thank you for giving me that feeling again. They went through a lot of neat changes but it’s still the same place I loved as a kid. I will watch your two videos on Denver zoo anytime I need some nostalgia
Thank You, I honestly love hearing from viewers that watch my tours. I do my best to show everything, I'm glad my tour brought back great memories for you. The Denver Zoo is an amazing facility, it's good to hear even with the changes it kept it's charm from your childhood. 😊
Can't believe I just found your channel! Former Denver Zoo volunteer here. A lot of people doing these tours will complain that some animals aren't out but Denver Zoo uses an open door policy where animals always have the option to move inside and outside as they please. You explained that the animals' welfare is always top priority and it was so nice seeing someone so seasoned give a tour of my favorite zoo. Will definitely watch more!
Thank You so much for your great comment. I drives me crazy when I see people yelling at the animals or banging on the glass to wake a sleeping animal. I always mention in my vids that the animals aren't there to perform for you, it's their homes. I do my best to tru to educate my viewers and tell them to come back later on the day if they missed am animal they really want to see. The Denver Zoo was a fantastic experience.
I do enjoy seeing the birds, I do completely understand why they are off habitat. Their safety is much more important, hopefully they will be available to enjoy again soon.
great video tom my favorite part of this video was the male Asian elephants because I have to agree the one that was mammoth sized is pretty big and I also loved the size of the Nile river hippo
Thanks Zachary, good to hear you enjoyed my tour. I was surprised by the size if that bull elephant. I've never seen an Asian elephant that large before, very long legs.
Hey Tom! I hope you`re well, figured i`d leave you a comment before leaving for work, that way i can possibly have a reply when i get back from work, however you are on a road Trip currently so i know it might be a few days before i get a reply. Speaking of which: I have a comment up on The Downtown Aquarium video, it was too long so i had to separate it into a comment and then a reply lol. Well, this Zoo is amazing so far! And we still have so much to see! You already know i`m excited for Tropical Discovery, as that`s where the Zoo keeps most of their reptiles. This Zoo did an excellent job with the enclosures and just all around a good job with everthing! On the train, the lady said that there are 12 female hooded Capuchins, and 1 male, that is one lucky male! Now, time for some time stamps, of which i have many!: 3:24: It`s actually pronounced copies! I hope this helps man! 3:48: One of my favourite species of crocodilian, or even reptiles as a whole. Something about this species is just so cool to me. So Tom, i know Gaboon Vipers are your favourite snake but what would you say your overall favourite reptile is, i`m very curious. 4:18: Such a beautiful species! Another TH-cam Channel that i watch (Wickens Wicked Reptiles) has one of these name Atila, she`s a sweetheart. 4:54: After the big guys, you know, the retic, green anaconda, Burmese python, some consider this species to be the 4th or 5th largest snake species in the world, depending who you talk to, they can take down antelope, which is pretty darn impressive. As with most snakes, females are generally considerably larger. 5:16: I really enjoyed reading this sign Tom, such an interesting read, comparing 3 apex predators of Africa. Thanks for getting it in focus. 7:57: I don`t recall seeing them in any past videos... a new animal! Always nice eh, Tom? 9:26: Such a cool species! I actually watched a documentary that was about an hour long just about this species and how they live and hunt. Very interesting to watch. 11:04: One of my favourite African animals, so majestic. 11:22: Very cool looking animal, i enjoyed reading the signage, how they love, where they live, i especially enjoyed reading HOW the rams fight. 11:45: It`s actually pronounced ka-pooh-chin ;). 13:15: This troop is spoiled for choice of space! 14:15: I`m not gonna lie Tom, when you showed the goose, i thought you were going to crack some kind of joke about Canada, because it`s a Canadian Goose lol. I was somewhat surprised haha. 14:49: The signage said this little guy`s name is Quill, rightfully named. BTW Tom: I didn`t see a fence/barrier on his habitat? I`m assuming it was there but i just didn`t see it? Also: Contrary to popular belief, porcupines cannot shoot their quills, but can ram into the face of their attacker and that will really spoil your weekend... 24:18: You were looking for the white-faced saki in the other habitat, well, he`s right here! The one facing the camera in the blue bucket, thought i`d flex my animal expertise a bit haha. 32:22: Now that right there is a big male Orangutan! Do you know how to tell if mature individuals are male or female, Tom? First of all: size, second of all: the face flap on male`s faces, quite easy to tell apart once they`re mature. 33:08: They all did great work, real shame one of them was murdered in her sleep, very unfortunate indeed... 34:32: This is a different species of monkey, can`t remember the species off the top of my head, but spider monkeys don`t have those head colorations. 37:02: Yay, flamingos! 2 Different species as well! Quite easy to tell the two species apart when they`re all together like this. 37:06: Always good to have new areas built! That means more animals, which is always good. 38:00: Jorge is actually pronounced Horhey, Tom :). 39:13: Another one of my favourites! When i was a little boy, my mother got me a picture of a hippo in a frame because she knew how much i loved hippos, i called him Freddy the Hippo, i used to say goodnight to him every night and good morning every morning, i still have him on my bookshelf. 43:00: If it`s not one thing, it`s another thing eh Tom? Pretty cool that they have 2 species of rhinos here! Toronto Zoo has this species and white rhinos, if you wanted to know for when you get here for videos, dress warm though, probably colder than what you`re used to. 43:59: That is one big bull elephant, you can tell by his tusks, female Asian Elephants still have them but are nt visible, they don`t grow out far enough like the males tusks do. 45:22: Haha gave me a good chuckle there, Tom, i love how one guy somewhere next to you, laughed lol. 45:29: Very nice, stupid question but: Do elephants cross that bridge to different habitats? If so, it must be pretty darn sturdy! 46:30: Most species of antelope, only the males have horns. This species, it`s the males and females, however the horns on the males are both thicker and longer than females horns. 47;05: I guess Australia has kangaroo crossing signs eh? Here in Canada, in my region we have, bear, deer and moose signs that say: Watch especially at night. What does your area have Tom? Got any for gators? 48:16: Seriously Tom? **Massive facepalm** Man, you`re corny. Some of your jokes in this video i didn`t even bother making a timestamp because they were so corny lol. 50:09: Will a demonstration be in part 2? I`m too impatient to wait lol. 51:05: It`s actually pronounced: shuh-val-skee Tom! I know, it`s a hard to word to figure out at first lol. That`s it for time stamps! Great video Tom. Some of the signage came up blurry or with glares but that`s not your fault, just the way the sun was hitting, and that happened for the birds for the most part which were not available anyway. I hope you`re well Tom, see you in your next video, looking forward to your reply! I hope you`re enjoying your road trip, now i gotta go get ready for work, 11AM-7:30PM today and tomorrow, at least they gave me the weekend off... Have fun on the Road Trip, make some BANGER content!
@ Noah Roy The Denver zoo was another great zoo, I had a fantastic time there. The male Capuchin must be quite the stud 😁 My favorite overall reptile would be the alligator. I see them around Florida frequently. I always get upset when I hear about an alligator being put down because someone did something stupid. The Green Anaconda looks so much longer with it's thin body. Almost like a long green rope, just with deadly teeth 😮 I've had multiple people mention they enjoy reading all the signage, so I try to get good views of them for everyone. It's always great to see a new animal I haven't seen before. Doesn't happen much anymore since I visit so many zoo's. I knew that was a Canadian Goose, what did you expect me to say? Quill has a barrier around the lower portion of the habitat, it just wasn't viable in the vid. Porcupine usually either swat their rail or just back into anything attacking them. I was happy to see flamingos, seeing two different types was even better 😀 That was seriously the biggest elephant I've ever seen before. Especially for an Asian Elephant as they are typically smaller than the African. That guy is the Shaq of elephants. That bridge is designed for the elephant to walk across, it's built tough. The Emu and Kangaroos will have fancy new habitats once the new expansion us complete. Always nice to see a zoo build new area's. Come on man, that was a damn funny joke Noah. That was comedy gold, Smart-Ass or Dumb-Ass 🤣 I was going to wait for the elephant demonstration but I didn't think I'd have time for a rewalk if I did. So no show, sorry 😕 Thanks for the timestamps Noah, always enjoyable to read your comments.
@@TomsRoadTrippin Ah yes, the alligator, a classic, good choice Tom. Yeah very sad when a gator (or any animal really) needs to get put down. Regarding the goose: You being you Tom, i was just expecting you to crack some corny joke about the goose or Canada as a whole, with your corny sense of humour and all. Thanks for the clarification about the barrier on Quill`s habitat, i knew that it wasn`t height keeping Quill in because porcupines are mostly arboreal by nature. That is one tough bridge 😳! That elephant sure was a big boy! AW so no show, that`s alright. Of course Tom, always happy to add time stamps!
Hey Tom, wondering about the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo video, you missed quite a few sections, many comments addressed about the lied jungle. But did you go to the bay family children adventure section. I have been keeping track as I checked out the map during the video. It is a big zoo though
The pathway to that whole section was blocked off. Near Sealion shores the path was closed. Also near the desert dome the path was blocked. So that section of the zoo wasn't available during my visit. Once the construction they are working on is complete, I'll go back. Perhaps everything will be available.
@@TomsRoadTrippin They might be in the process of tearing down the old, antiquated "Cat Complex". It's really the only building/exhibit left representing the old way of keeping animals at the zoo.
All zoo's that house vulnerable birds have them temporarily off habitat. This keeps the birds safe, avian flu is contagious to other birds. Humans rarely contract avian flu.

Please do your research, there are no female Asian elephants at t the Denver Zoo. They are all male. The Denver Zoo has state of the art habitat for their Asian Elephant bachelor herd.

Hi Tom! Guess what, I’m planning to go to Denver on my summer vacation for 2023. I would go to the Denver zoo and other places that I like.
Lovely zoo
Very nice.. drinking game... take a shot, every time you say nice habitat 😂😊
Careful, you'll get wasted watching one of my zoo tours 😜
7:35 I did see the black crowned crane on Tuesday
I love your videos
Thank You so much 🤗
I.did not.think you would reply
@@legonerdandfan2679 I reply to all comments, you took the time to leave me a nice comment. 😊
I'm going to do a video on Pittsburg zoo
@@legonerdandfan2679 Hey me too 😁
Fanastic Video, I loved how you showed very informational sign and did your best to focus on the animals so we could see them.
Thank You, I am glad you enjoyed my tour. I do the best I can to show everything as I go through, so you really know what it's like to be there.
It was nice to some of the animals and it is a shame you couldn't see the birds and thanks for that
I do enjoy seeing the birds, I do completely understand why they are off habitat. Their safety is much more important, hopefully they will be available to enjoy again soon.

You should do a video on san diego zoo safari park
I'll be returning to California in 2024. There are lots of places I'll be checking out. San Diego Safari Park is a definite destination.
Might have to make a visit sometime.
Also, capuchin is actually pronounced cu - poo - chin.
Thanks for the correction, that's a strange way of pronouncing it with the spelling. 😕

In 34:34 its a red capped mangabey i think
Thank You for the identification 😊
What zoo did you think was better?
Denver or Cheyenne mountain
The Denver zoo was larger and enjoyable but you can't beat the look of the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
NONE OF THE BIRDS ARE OUT BECAUSE OF THE BIRD FLU WHICH IS CONTAGIOUS AND IT MAKES US SICK
All zoo's that house vulnerable birds have them temporarily off habitat. This keeps the birds safe, avian flu is contagious to other birds. Humans rarely contract avian flu.
Just 2 make sure u know Jorge is pronounced Horhey
@Trey S I went and called him George, my bad 😣 Thanks for the correction.
@@TomsRoadTrippin welx
Also this is ur 3rd time seeing a Przewalski's Horse cuz the 1st tyme u saw 1 wuz @ the Brookfield Zoo
Thanks for pointing that out Trey, I go to so many zoo's, I sometimes forget some animals.
@@TomsRoadTrippin don't worry I understand
Let me ask you, how many wild Subaru outback did you see, that day? 🤣
Oh quite a few 😀

Thanks buddy 😍
Did you hear their last Porcupine died
It's sad when animals at zoos die, but usually their lifespan is increased at a zoo compared to the wild.
