The FINAL unauthorised VISITOR to BRISTOL ZOO

- Bristol Zoo was a zoo in the city of Bristol in South West England. The zoo's stated mission was to "maintain and defend” biodiversity through breeding endangered species, conserving threatened species and habitats and promoting a wider understanding of the natural world".
The mammal collection at the zoo numbered around 300, representing 50 species, including: gorillas, Asiatic lions, goodfellow's tree-kangaroo, and red pandas. Among species on view at Bristol which are rare or absent in other UK zoos were Livingstone's fruit bats, aye ayes and quolls.
The zoo's Twilight Zone was the first of its kind when it opened, there were many other indoor exhibits including an insect and reptile house and aquarium meanwhile outside there were several aviaries and a seal and penguin enclosure. The lakes' islands were home to gorillas, golden lion tamarins, golden-headed lion tamarins, gibbons and squirrel monkeys.
The Zoo announced on 27 November 2020 that after more than 186 years its main centre in Clifton would close in 2022, with its animals moving to its Wild Place Project site close to the M5 motorway and the zoo reopening there in early 2024. In the event, it closed its gates for the last time on 3 September 2022
We can see that a week later and all the animals are still there and wondering where all the people went. Their lives are now lived out in a quiet and uncertain world.
My own question is who close the doors if the animals are still there... but thats just me. I hope you enjoy my slow and melancholic look at what is left and the ghostly lack of human life.

Omg buddy I’ve watched loads of your vids but this is heartbreaking those poor animals have spent their lives in there at least when they had visitor’s they had something to look at that poor lion at the end this has to be your most heartbreaking video to date but amazing footage thank you
Anyone know what happened to Matt??
Many fond childhood memories of Bristol Zoo with trips there with my grandparents. 90s early 2000’s.
Zoos should be banned
@@PrivateJellyJose Zoos have changed a lot I am glad to say & now are largely focused around conservation & research. Less of them are keeping larger animals now as it is recognised they need more space than used to be provided.
Looking forward to it. Hope tomorrow goes well Matt.
Any news yet, where is Matt 😕
My understanding is that the animals will moved from Clifton to Wild Place project over the next couple of months. Not all the animals are going to Wild Place, some have gone to other zoo's around the country. There are still animal keepers and other staff at Clifton. Despite the closing, life will still go on behind the gates of Bristol Zoo Gardens while animals continue to be cared for ahead of their imminent departures to other zoos.
Yes they are being fed and left bored.
The music is eerie but very chillaxing. great content and synchronised music.....good shit man!
Its kinda shocking to see how hemmed in the zoo is with all the surrounding buildings and the small ground area it actually covers. Cant say Im a great fan of Zoos in general the principle of taking something from the wild to try making a profit from breeding and people gawping at animals that are clearly bored and stressed from living in such confined spaces. Great video all the same, thanks and good fortune for tommorow.
Heartbreaking watching that...and what a unusual place to have a zoo...I bet the animals had to put up with alot of grief and stress there.
And now being alone is sad...that lion was looking up at the drone,I couldn't help but feel sorry for the poor animal.
I was involved with Bristol Health Choir and one summer was invited to attend a Health summit garden party.. we had plenty of time to kill after rehearsals and before we were due to perform..and as everywhere including my favourite nocturnal house was shut the outdoor gophers/prairie's/averies and the odd monkey enclosures were open to walk around...I chose to sing softly to the Baboons, and although it's advised not to make eye contact as potential aggressor..we telepathically communicated..and felt their deep sadness and boredom.. I'll never forget that.. that was around 2013 hadn't been there since.. though nice school trip and family memories but seeing stir crazy polar bears pace around their unatural environments including the famous smelly elephant and giraffe house...still impregnated and etched on the brain..such sadness.. Paignton Zoo very much like Wildplace am yet to see..if ever?
Weirdly eerie this drone footage reminds me of an Auschwitz visit in around 16yrs ago .. potential empty buildings ..living trees n green but dead souless 😶 land
Appropriate music ..yr own ?
Love this music Matthew same music you used in the Devizes drone flight fantastic .. great videos.. 👍
brilliant footage, did notice folk in there so the animals must be well looked after, great piece of music,anyone know what it's called
I love this music too

I shall miss the zoo, and gardens, grew up around here. Fantastic footage.
Best wishes for the right and proper outcome tomorrow
Good luck for Tomorrow Matt I hope all goes well
The little penguins 😢
Matt, this was exquisite! Courage for tomorrow friend!
Poor animals 😢, Good luck for tomorrow Matt.
Beautiful, Matt. Some really stunning photography. Thanks mate 👍
What a shame if it’s closing down permanently love that place brings back memories of somebody who’s not with us any more and good days out with kids when they little ❤
Glad this has been documented like this 👍
Thank you Matt good choice of music 👍
thank you matt goin out ur way doing this for ever one see .rember back in 1970 goin there with my grany .now goin in sc watch ur vid .keep good work up .u best and thank you
I used to volunteer as a gardener for 6 and a half years such a shame it went, the gardens and buildings were the best part
Fantastic video Matt! This video has been sat in my To Watch playlist for ages and I’ve finally got around to watching it. So sad this place has closed, used to go here allot when I was younger for primary school trips and with my parents. It’s allot smaller than I remember it being. Amazing shots of the Zoo!! 😊
If the doors are closed? Who is taking care of these animals? what a shame
And are they being fed?
noticed people walking around in there so imagine the keepers are still working until all the animals are all moved to the new location 👍🏻
@@kathleenroberts6357 No, it is O.K though, they let the animals out of the zoo at night so they can hunt for themselves.
😂 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@debbiemoore2362 it looks well kept 👌
It’s sad that they fucking closed it 😢
This is truly heartbreaking I can't say I'm a fan of zoo's as I got older but remember going with my parents and taken my own children there many times i just think about the poor animals most have only ever had this place as there home now they will be having to get used to somewhere new 💔 my heart is broken for them .Great bit of filming 👌 👏
Those animals should have been moved on the day that place closed. I hope they get help soon, I have always hated zoo's taking animals out of their natural envoiroment for human entertainment. Great drone footage Matt.
The Greater Flamingos that are shown in your video now have a very nice new enclosure at Flamingo Land in Yorkshire, so if you want to see them thats where they are, they have plenty of room and look very happy. If you watch Theme Park Insanity or Coaster Dad they have some good footage of the flamingos on there Flamingo Land Vlogs, they have pride of place right in the centre of the zoo.
🦁🤯wow thanks Matt 👍
I feel so heartbroken for all animals in zoos. i hope someone is at least caring for them
The old 13 year old Cheetah is at Yorkshire Wildlife Park and he has a huge enclosure, they are hoping to breed him with a female Cheetah from Ireland she also has a huge enclosure and there is also a third enclosure for them. Yorkshire Wildlife Park also has three Crowned Lemurs from Bristol Zoo, they have plenty of space in the Lemur enclosure with the Ringtails and the Red Belled Lemurs in the Woodland area where they have plenty of trees and also ropes and stumps to climb on at the lower area. All of the animals at Yorkshire Wildlife Park have private areas that they can go to to get away from prying eyes if they want to both indoors and outdoors it is a very good modern Wildlife Park which puts the benefit of the animals first.
Omg, actually tearing up for this one. I had no idea. Such a shame. Gutting. Have fond memories of that place. What happened to the animals?
All going to get moved eventually... some discarded like trash to other zoos... with varying standards of welfare at those zoos.
I'm so glad we went this summer for the last time wish it didn't close must of been at least 10 times since I was a child and taken my kids there a few times over the years I don't understand why Bristol City Council didn't put there hand in there big pockets for the community the same happen cricket st Thomas or was that blobby land that killed it anyway fair play matt many fond memories and you have added to them thank you
During the lockdown it was said that zoo animals, used to to seeing people all the time, were disturbed, and pining! Why ARE some still there at Bristol? Weren't they all supposed to be moved? Thanks, Matt. All the best for tomorrow.
So gutted Bristol zoo has closed down. Had such fond memories of this place as a kid and also with my kids.
Excellent as always. Thanks Matt. Would love to accompany you on an explore one day. All the best!
Thankyou for sharing.
How life changes so fast
Liked the vlog from Margaret P
Awesome drone footage there man, such a shame for the poor animals still there wondering where all the people are?😥, whilst we go to see them they're observing us from the inside!🤔, i bet the poor things don't know whether they're coming or going wondering whats going on!, Its very sad that it's closing even though I don't like seeing animal's cooped up instead of being free!😀, as I went there with school decade's ago!, takecare bro!😜✌
Thanks Matt I’ve never been to Bristol zoo 👍
That place would make an amazing Zoo.
you should do this again now to see the changes to the site
Surely they could’ve kept the place open until closer to the date of the other place opening? I hope the animals are getting the care they need
I would love to know what the music at the start of this video is, it’s beautiful and fits the footage perfectly
Same here. Also loved looking at the trees there as well. (I just love looking at trees lol.)

@@Mikes666 Many thanks Mick, I too really liked the track and grateful for your comment. Cheers!
@@Mikes666 Thanks so much !!
It would of been good if you had got inside the zoo Matt and walked around it and filmed the animals that wher left that would be a classic explore. But it's good drone footage and you can see some of the birds and animals that are left in the Zoo.
sad they closing zoo blimey xxx👍👍👍
Nice footage matt 👍👊💯
What would Johnny Morris say !
This was the worlds first zoo
Really!?
@@hoohargh9945 yep
Very sad in many ways. Like golf courses hiding the old world. Wonder what was really there originally? Thanks, nice tour!!
Loved going to the zoo as a child, Seeing them from the perspective of a drone is just saddening when you see how small these enclosures really are. hopefully all the zoo's close.
agreed.... is all about money at the end of the day.... zoos arent popular anymore. So the animals then have to suffer their final fate.
those animal convicts get more greenery in their prisons than those pesky human convicts get
I suppose the houses of the workers around the perimeter will be repo
Hate zoo's always have always come away feeling a bit sad after seeing caged animals
This is hard!!!
How many animals are still left in there? They must be pretty lonely. Such a great shame
Any plans for an unofficial inside visit :):)
only when the animals have gone.
They take these animals from the wild and put them in a pen feed them and make them depend on humans for their everyday needs and now they just close the doors? Who gave them that right? They should have moved the animals before they closed. Who is feeding them now???? They are confused now where is the people with the food? Have a great day Matt and good luck with other matters
👍🏻
Matt got your message could you call me again asap or if anybody sees this please tell Matt thank you

Amazing Arial views , music superb , shame about the animals still there 😭
