NEW! Pygmy Hippos at John Ball Zoo | Exhibit Tours Ep. 27

Pygmy Hippos at John Ball Zoo. Filmed June 18, 2022.
The newest big thing has arrived at John Ball Zoo. After years of welcoming guests with a modest line of habitats for Alligators and Waterfowl, every visit to John Ball Zoo now starts with a bang with the Pygmy Hippo Pavilion. Where you can see their new Pygmy Hippos, Jahari and Penelope in a fantastic, modern indoor/outdoor complex, making John Ball the only AZA zoo in Michigan to display any kind of Hippo. You’ll also find the stately European White Stork on what is to date the newest exhibit featured on Exhibit Tours.

I love your videos, Derek. To answer your question, I'm excited about the Smithsonian National Zoo's updated bird house. I haven't been to the Smithsonian National Zoo in a long time. Plus I'm really excited to see Predators of Asia and Africa at the Fort Worth Zoo, because I heard it has African leopards and striped hyenas.

Loved the tour thanks so much!! The new exhibit I’m excited about is the Elephant Valley at the San Diego zoo safari park, although I think it’s opening in 2024!

Thank you!

I love the addition to the zoo.It’s interesting to see how zoos are adding Pygmy hippos to their collections while other zoos are phasing out hippos or didn’t get new hippos

Am I the only one laughing at the concept of bear overhead - sad it was scraped honestly.

The aza is totally overrated
