Good to have you back! And thank you, thank you, thank you for this fantastic video. I just might make a trip to the biggest zoo in my country this summer because of this!
Elephants have funeral rituals, graveyards, etc. Which is generally regarded as the beginning of civilisations in humans in the archaeological record haha.
I admire you for your intelligence, adventurous nature, and devastating good looks. I'd love to meet you some day for tea & frolicking. Let me know when you might be in the Malibu, Cal area :)
Dear god just listening to all those people makes me almost have a panic attack... I wish I had a nice zoo like that in my area... even though I can't go to such public places.. T_T I miss being normal. Lovely video regardless.
@Parapon3ra I.........really am not really trying to "push" any point about our role in nature or about zoos or anything. But I will say this: Nature doesn't have volition....nature isn't cruel, mean, or unfair NOR humane or inhumane. Nature is just nature.
@tersse Unfortunately some of those species don't have a safe enough habitat to survive otherwise (unless in an animal park, zoo, or special reserve). And Yes....it is all our faults :/
@Magic187u "I want to try fight that silver back" - I want to sit down with him, have a cup of tea, eat cucumber sandwiches and discus current affairs.
@Yuri92001 Just putting things into the proper perspective. Whatever man may have done to animals is nothing compared to what nature routinely does to them. Their lives are short and miserable, and getting shot by a hunter or poacher is usually a lot more humane than the 'natural' alternatives (starvation, being eaten alive, dying slowly of infection etc.)
I'm sorry. I do not like zoo's. One may say that several species are still alive thanks to them. But I think that an animal reserve would be much better (what I mean is a safe place where endangered species can live that are much more spacious than a zoo).
man im sorry but this stuff makes me sad, i think those animals look sad and bored, id rather see stuffed animals in a museum, as they cant feel, not so much the fish and shit but the mammals, i just dont feel right about it.

That was one huge Silverback there ....
Absolutely stole the show ....

Laura,
Yours is a very fine travelogue. I'm enjoying it.
If you get to LA, get in touch.
Hope you enjoyed our zoo & our city.
Hooray for Pittsburgh!! Represent! Our polar bears rock. =)
Lookit all the adorable products of Creation! :D

Perfect jump for sure!
Is it just the video, or was the mandrill at 2:40 missing his upper canines?
No way, you guys should've told me/us! I live in Pittsburgh and I totally could've gone the 27th. =.= Would've been cool to meet up.
West Virginia one big happy family literally.
Mandrills are awesome.
Aaah Pittsburgh, that's George Romero country.
You didn;t see any zombies I take it?
7:33 is worth the wait. ;)
the close-up on the elephant's thick and coarse skin is sure gonna make those politicians out there feel very jealous.
Big kitties~!
Those Lions!
Those Leafy Seadragons looked more like Weedy Seadragons (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus)

@yugyfoog yeah, are leafy seadragons i don't know more leafy and bigger.
I fed an asian elephant once. I think it was really old. Then it just blew really hard on me it almost pushed me back. (I almost typed "blew me")
Yes, I'd agree with the perfect day.
I hope Jason ain't waiting near that lake.
It's been too long since you posted a vid.
@JohnTraviss
Cha cha cha cha.
aren't the baby orangutans cute?

@agnilaDkraM Not so much bigger, but a lot leafier.
WTF? You go to Pittsburgh, but you don't say hi? >_
Did you see that evil Girraffe? He's going to eat all those leaves so none of the other animals will get some. Better drown him.

@Parapon3ra "SAFE" from poachers, hunters, and the destruction of their habitat.
I didn't say the "zoo is evil".
Chill.
Please post more videos of you in a swimsuit.
@tersse Better than being in the wild and looking paranoid over a Lion attack...
