  • EPISODE 131
    On this episode of Zoo Tours, we are returning to Nebraska - where of all places, you would never expect there to be one of the nation's greatest zoos. In case you're not familiar with Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo, all you need to know is they spare no expense when it comes to their projects, leading to the most mind blowing attractions you may ever see. We've already spent extensive time in a few of their record breaking, award winnings exhibits - and this episode continues that streak. The Sea Lion Shores, debuted in 2020, can be added to the zoo's list of monumental achievements in realism and design. The shores is one large 275,000 gallon rocky cove engulfed by towering cliffs, beaches, waterfalls and a forest that blocks out the rest of the world... with the exception of the Desert Dome of course. While pinnipeds are the spotlight, this episode will not just showcase their fun and acrobatic behaviors - you'll also learn one of the ways why the oceans need to remain clean in order to retain a healthy and balanced ecosystem. Hope you enjoy and learn from this short but more than sweet adventure.

    *I apologize for posting this so late! Especially since it was such a short and simple video. Life just got in the way and I didn't time my schedule correctly. Fortunately, one of those obstacles was Disney, so at least some good came from it:)*
    *Here are links to maps showing where the location of the new and old sea lion habitats. Along with a bird's eye view rundown of the Sea Lion Shores to give you an idea of where you are in the video:*

    As someone who's worked at the Henry Doorly Zoo it never ceases to warm my heart when i see and hear from people that have had a great experience at our zoo.

      I haven’t been to the Bronx yet but I’ve been to San Diego, Brookfield, Columbus, Indy, and many others and was insanely impressed with how well-done everything was this past summer. The Mahoney Kingdoms of the Night to end the visit sealed it at my top spot so far. You’re so lucky to have been a part of this institution!!

    Growing up with this zoo being my home zoo I was so spoiled. The old sea lion exhibit was in for a long overdue expansion and update and I am so proud of this new exhibit. Honestly took my breath away the first time a saw it. I felt like a kid again the last time I visited

    The Omaha Zoo has been making great strides to not only having a wide variety of animals on display but making the exhibits as natural and realistic as possible. Gone are the days of just a concrete slab and simple cage. It's almost like going on a mini safari the way it's going.

    I've been lucky enough to grow up in Omaha, and I have memories my entire life of this incredible zoo and it has changed so much since I was a kid, but it was amazing then & it's still amazing now.

    If this was someone's Planet Zoo exhibit, I'd be rolling my eyes at the over-the-top rockwork. Like, come on, no real zoo is going to make it look that great...

    Any animal that wants to perform and not forced to perform for us is my favorite.

    Favorite show is the Dolphin show at Shedd Aquarium. Haven't been there since 2007

    This has got to be the most spectacular Sea Lion habitat I've ever seen! Thanks for giving us this tour Zac.
    And to answer your question, my favorite animal presentation has got to be the Orca Encounter of SeaWorld, I just can't get enough of these amazing creatures!

  • @albatross4920

    Favorite show/presentation: it's a tie between beluga whales and giant pacific octopus feeding/interactions with keepers 🐙

    Free flight bird shows are my favourite! An awesome display of natural behaviours, excellent animal enrichment and a great chance for some bird photography.

    Wow, seeing this new exhibit at the Henry Doorly Zoo makes me want to go visit again. My last visit was when my dad and I made our big trip back in 2013 before they started on their master plan. I can't wait to see what this world class zoo looks like after the Master Plan is complete

    I totally am looking forward to seeing the Asian highlands exhibit because when I was visiting Omaha I was so impressed with the exhibit especially how the rhino and deer were able to be together and also how they have goral and takin and Tuffed Deer and the muntjac and the cranes and when I went to Omaha that was my first encounter with the takin, Goral, Tufted Deer, muntjac and the cranes and I especially liked how the red pandas were mixed with the muntjac and I encountered the other animals when I was at other zoos like when I was very young I had my first encounter with the tiger, Snow Leopard, Sloth Bear, red panda, Indian rhino at the Philly zoo and the Père David’s deer at the Bronx zoo.

    Oh-yeah! Sea Lion Shores at the Omaha Zoo!! Always dreamed of working at the Omaha Zoo as my future part-time job! Also, try visiting the San Diego Zoo Safari Park soon, along with the Woodland Park Zoo, Oakland Zoo, San Francisco Zoo, Sacramento Zoo, & Monterey Bay Aquarium, too! Plus, 4 zoo trivia questions for you & your girlfriend, Zak...
    1) What other pinnipeds, besides Orkney the grey seal, did the SF Zoo once have back in the 2000s?
    2) What animal did the Lincoln Park Zoo once have back in 2003?
    3) Which month is the Omaha Zoo's giraffe, Zola, expecting a baby?
    4) How many piglets did the Oakland Zoo's warthogs now have so far?

    This exhibit is a much larger, more detailed version of Fresno Chaffee Zoo’s Sea Lion Cove. The similarities though are pretty astounding.

    For me the best animal presentation is the bird show at ZooParc Beauval. I don't think this is matched by any other instance

    So what happened to the old Sea Lion pool? its no longer marked on the zoo's map. Is it demolished?
    assets.speakcdn.com/assets/2140/2023_ohdzoo_map_jungleclosure2_012523.pdf
    Honestly, I hope it (or the space) can be repurposed for a future exhibit, just not for seals. Maybe net it over for an aviary?

    • @insidethezoo5912
      @insidethezoo5912 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It was demolished and the area was turned into a stingray building and an event center. The area where the sea lion pool was specifically is now a green space for private events.

    • @TheRandomZooVisitor
      @TheRandomZooVisitor ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah it was demolished and made into a green space and I don't think there will be any exhibit there in the future.
