Tell me why my cats are cheaper to maintain that something as stupid as a pleco? Filters. Food. Water pH... Fish are literally the dumbest "pet" of all time.
Can't pet them. Can't cuddle them. They just live there in a state of stasis like a prison cell. Hey... Spend a week in your bathroom and you can't flush the toilet.
I always love the content Forrest goes over but his enthusiasm for the subjects is just contagious. As a kid marine biology was my dream job, but life went different ways. But being able to see Forrest live the dream I was never able to achieve will do just fine. Keep being awesome Forrest, you are this generations Steve Irwin and we can’t thank you enough ❤
there's something very funny about someone taking a tour of a conservation aquarium and every once in a while during the tour just being like 'damn, i'd love to eat that'
@@The_Crucible714 I watch a fishing yt channel and this dude in Florida caught one and his mom was with him she swore up and down they would eat them in Hawaii too so he kept it and cooked it and said it was disgusting lol
Mike is awesome you can see the joy in his eyes just looking at the animals. I get that same look talking to a good friend, it’s amazing to see someone this passionate about their work. He sees these animals everyday and still has that spark in his eyes.
Wonders of Wildlife was the first aquarium I ever went to as a child. It was back before the renovation and I was awestruck by everything. I can't imagine what they all have now.
I really like that Forest doesn’t pretend to be one of those people who pretend to know everything and he’s willing to learn from anyone about anything
I think it’s beautiful that there’s little programs all over the world like the Venezuelan project to bring endangered species back to healthy numbers and we don’t know it’s always nice to hear good news 😊
It is always refreshing to see people who absolutely love their job! Hats off to the people doing the work to help inform people about the species of the world!
What I find fascinating, aside from how in the world they got deep sea creatures, is that, as the tour guide pointed out, it's in the middle of the USA. I'd have for sure thought an aquarium like this would be in California, or maybe New York. Heck, maybe even Dubai. It's a super fancy aquarium, and I don't blame the guide one bit for his enthusiasm. That's definitely a dream job for many.
Thank you so much for letting me know about this place it's less than six hours away I can't wait to visit my lady's never been to an aquarium this is gonna be a treat she's always wanted to go to one now I get to take her to the biggest
16:05 Forrest is an adult child. "Did you know what?!?! I swam with one of those! It tried to eat me!" Is something I definitely would hear a 4 year old say to me. Thw difference is i believe forrest! 😆 🤣 😂
The more I find out about Johnny Morris I love the man's passion for the earth. Bought one of his rods bc I loved the feel but had no clue who he was lol. Legend
The craziest isopods are the parasitic ones that attach themselves to fishes tongues, eat the tongue, then just replace the tongue and grow into its place by clamping on the stump….wild af
Really wish we had something like that here in Canada but I can see why we dont, not cheap or easy to run one of these facilities but something I think the public as a whole should be investing in. Not only does it help in our understanding and education of the wildlife but it more importantly helps raise awareness and conservation efforts.
Your knowledge is absolutely refreshing brother and your passion definetly shows you had more info on the animals then the actual workers amazing vid thanks for the watch
Love watching these videos - i do wish id got into animal / marine biology when i was younger. Watching these videos is unreal just love the animal kingdom
- It is a shame that the camera man or women didn't show a lot of the stuff in depth. I would've loved to see more of the fish, shells, ect. But overall a good video ! ❤
Man I used to live in Ozark Missouri and I was there when the foundation cracked and they shut down. Seeing this makes me want to go back and see this since I haven't seen the aquarium since it shut down. Awesome content yet again keep it up my friend.
I only recently started following your channel. I love documentaries and your channel definitely holds my interest. Frankly i didn't expect you to do a video on aquariums. Yeah it's a public aquarium but still not expected. It sounds crazy but I kinda want to see someone do a video with aquarists. There are some really big names in the fish keeper hobby. Channels like Predatory fins and Stingray biology are big deals in the hobby. They have mostly freshwater but they do have some saltwater stuff including sharks. They're in NYC. Another channel, The King of DIY, is based in Nova Scotia. He has stingrays, Asian arrowana and many other fish. I don't see it happening but it would be interesting/cool to see a video put out on the fish keeping hobby in general and focus on some of the good points the hobby has had on some species. There's definitely been some negatives in the hobby. But lots of positives too.
I live in Branson and was surprised to see that you were at Wonders. This is my first time viewing one of your videos! (I’ve also never been to Wonders) 🤣
I actually love movies and music because of nature, and I find it all to be beautiful art. Nature is my inspiration for my enjoyment towards making art as well, lol. I don't blame some people for loving nature a lot more than human entertainment, though. Sometimes, a fresh breath of outside in nature is what we need ❤
Forrest, please visit Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska if you haven't yet! It's a treat! Thanks for the video. You can tell how passionate these two are about these species.
Take 1 minute to think about it ... What eats mosquitoes? What eats those that eat mosquitoes? Then what eats them ? Vital part of the food chain and one of the only things slowing population growth ...
I hope on day my son will view forrest the same way I view steve irwin. Keep is up sir the next generation needs c9nservatiinists like you just as our generation needed Mr Irwin!
Wow deep sea gigantism. Learned alot! All the shells! Animals make music. Beyond beautiful. and now I want to be a lionfish bounty hunter hah. Phenomenal vid. So amped up
I truly feel like Steve's energy was shared amongst a few people in the world and Forrest was one of those people. His passion for conservation and wildlife is bang spot on
Worlds largest aquarium is in China. Largest in USA is Atlanta. Sorry that bugged me, had to get it out there. That said, great video and awesome aquarium!
What blows my mind is that you have an animal that chills at 5000 feet but also chilling in a surface aquarium. I know it must be limiting their growth, lifespan, or some kind of disadvantage. But still fascinating.
Something to let you know There's an aquarium in the city of Hull in the UK that has an aquarium with saw fish called the deep It's the only aquarium in Europe that has them 2 very huge ones to
The world's largest aquarium by total water volume is **Chimelong Ocean Kingdom** in Zhuhai, China. This massive facility holds over 12.87 million gallons (48.75 million liters) of water and features several exhibits, including the world's largest aquarium tank. Chimelong Ocean Kingdom also holds Guinness World Records for its whale shark exhibit and several other marine species on display, spread across various themed zones.
My VERY soon to be wife (2 weeks today) and I are planning on going to St. Louis to the zoo and aquarium for our honeymoon but I am going to talk to her about adding this place to our list also.
I used to work for a precious stones, fossils and meteor rock shop on the beach in sarasota fl, and when I learned about isopods I was shocked! I always think about when someone drowns at sea that those critters are bound to be eating what's left of you. They're millions of years in the making and can live damn near anywhere in the oceans. The Titanic sinking must have been a smorgasbord! Crazy!
It was an absolute treat to have you, as always, Forrest! (And thanks for the help with the tank 🤿!) We’ll SEA ya on your next visit 👋😁🌊

That's the theme of the place and it's awesome
Asians actually DO eat those deep sea isopods…
*big surprise, right?* 😂
@@The_Crucible714there is not much they dont eat this is why they are skinny and short they literally eat bugs

Josh was my neighbor for a brief bit, he’s really knowledgeable and passionate about the animals. Super guy!!
I’ve been here and that first aquarium is mesmerizing to stand by. One of those “humans would never experience” things it’s crazy

As a Disabled Person Who Can't Travel. I'm Sooo Happy to Be Able to See Places Like This Thru Your Videos... Thank You Soooo Very Much.
so wholesome to hear two dudes just nerdint out over some sealife. i needed this shit today

Shoutout to jess for being wonder women so Forrest can bring us this content!
Putting this on my list of family trips. The place looks amazing!
WOW. I love visiting aquariums in different parts of the country. This one is def going on my list. Thanks, Forrest!

They're true aliens!
Reminds me of your moms 🐈

Born and raised in Kansas City, I've never heard of this place. I'm so excited to make a trip down to Springfield!!!
Same on both aspects cant wait to take my 5 year old isn't it funny how we apparently have a great gem in our state and didn't know about it
I live in Branson and was surprised to see that you were at Wonders. This is my first time viewing one of your videos! (I’ve also never been to Wonders) 🤣
Now, THAT is one gigantic rolly polly if, I've ever seen one! 😃
Shout out Forrest for bringing love to Springfield, it’s always great to see people traveling to my home town.
10:20 What a casual and practiced technique
This is a wonderful tour of a beautiful aquarium, thank you for bringing us along!
I feel fortunate to have this 5 minutes from my house and to have a yearly pass. It was cool seeing you tour the aquarium.

It's amazing how much information people like the guide has
this should be a netflix series, Forrest visiting the world's best zoos and aquariums.
I second this, but why netflix, youtube all the way
@@matisssvehs5094 so the man gets paid. That show is worth mils
Forrest, please visit Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska if you haven't yet! It's a treat! Thanks for the video. You can tell how passionate these two are about these species.
The fact that Forrest is still learning new things gives me hope I'll one day know what purpose mosquitoes serve haha
Take 1 minute to think about it ...
What eats mosquitoes?
What eats those that eat mosquitoes?
Then what eats them ?
Vital part of the food chain and one of the only things slowing population growth ...
One of the few good things in Missouri. Bass pro starting in Springfield really helped this be made. Would love to meet you next time you’re in state!
Its amazing just that one diorama of a fishing boat. Would feed 200 people for a year. Amazing how they choose to spend money. Good for you Forrest!
I’m so glad I found your Channel. My passion for wildlife is growing and you making me inspire by your videos
Absolutely loved this video! Thank you Forrest !
Crazy to see sean strickland grow a sick goattee and give aquarium tours in his free time
Rocky gets dragged out of the water and the first thing he has to hear is Forrest telling him "You smell weird!" 🤣 Poor guy
It was one of the best vlogs I have ever seen. Especially the tank of sardines and jelly fish and those giant lionfish..thanks men
Thank you Forrest for your amazing work ❤. And let know tonthe "average" people how amazing All this créatures are soooo AWESOME !!! 🙏❤️🙏
One blessed man.
Definitely going here when I tour Rt 66 next year. This place looks incredible.
This is a dream aquarium for me to see. This is definitely going on my bucket list.
My wife and I always love coming here. It’s unfortunate other people ruined being able to feed the sting rays. But always a fun and great experience!
Is how did they ruin it
I hope on day my son will view forrest the same way I view steve irwin. Keep is up sir the next generation needs c9nservatiinists like you just as our generation needed Mr Irwin!
- CTFU the ending I was *NOT* expecting but highly enjoyed 😉 😂.
Wow deep sea gigantism. Learned alot! All the shells! Animals make music. Beyond beautiful. and now I want to be a lionfish bounty hunter hah. Phenomenal vid. So amped up
Love the head start type program. They are trying something similar in Alaska with Wood Bison. It hasn't been going great but I wish them well.
Daggone Forrest Galante! This guy is the next Steve Irwin 100%! Love love love him!✌️

Ty 4 the best experience for the soul, my soul. Ciao 🐊🐟🐋🦈🐠🦂
Amazing video! I love aquarium tours.
Wow. That place is Amazing ❤️
My step dad Micheal actually built almost all the aquarium there ! It’s such a cool place to take your kids the alllow ya go even test lures ya buy !
i forgot about this place until this video ive always wanted to go. Looks like ill be making a trip there soon, i think my kids would love it.
Love your content Forrest! Lots that reminds me of watching Steve Irwin when I was younger!
Those isopods are crazy. They'll pick a whale carcass or any carcass really completely clean . And they've been around for such a long time
You should try to get a private tour of the Atlanta aquarium. Its amazing.
That's a really cool aquarium. I hope to visit there one day. I would specifically love to see that Orinoco Crocodile.
This was awesome 👌 please do more of these Forrest
Worlds largest aquarium is in China. Largest in USA is Atlanta. Sorry that bugged me, had to get it out there. That said, great video and awesome aquarium!
That is a Beautiful Museum/Aquarium.❤
Forrest, yes you should definitely “Watch that barb there”
if you have never been there, i highly suggest it. absolutely amazing place
What blows my mind is that you have an animal that chills at 5000 feet but also chilling in a surface aquarium. I know it must be limiting their growth, lifespan, or some kind of disadvantage. But still fascinating.
I find it funny that while Forrest is rotating the crocodile, the croc look's like hes about ready for a nap 12:49 lol.
