I love your videos, Derek. There are a couple of African species that I wish more zoos would display, including the the striped hyena, Cape buffalo, bonobo, aardwolf and secretary bird.
It’s a pretty nice African section. Sad to see the hippos and painted dogs not there any more.So many zoos have gotten rid of hippos or have passed and have not gotten new ones.
Animals that are hard to see in captivity: African bush elephants Nile hippopotamus Spotted hyenas Chimpanzees Secretary birds Shoebills African Forest Buffaloes Hartebeestss Sable antelopes Gemsboks Nubian ibexes Dromedaries African wild a$$es Drills(an old world monkey) African leopards Aardvarks Patas monkeys Elands Etc

I just got back from the Cincinnati zoo I’m going to the Detroit zoo in a couple days. I’m sad they have no elephants but Detroit zoo is great!
I wish more zoos displayed the honey badger!
Me too! I was definitely a little sad that Fort Wayne phased out their Honey Badgers.
@@DereksZooVideos0118oh! I just realized the OKC zoo will be getting honey badgers for Expedition Africa!
@@kevinmiller4457 That's awesome zoos, I will definitely have to try to make a trip there someday.
@@DereksZooVideos0118 ya me too! I saw a little sneak peak of the new Africa section and their instagram page
Seems like the next episode will be something about a Pygmy hippo who attacked a sitatunga before the exhibit’s opening
Correct. It's very unfortunate that that incident has clouded the opening of what really is a great new habitat.
I wish more US zoos displayed Geladas
I haven't had a chance to see Geladas yet, so I would have to agree!
Go to the Bronx zoo
