I love our houston zoo so much. The Panamal (south American) area, the wetlands and the bears exhibit are all new. They are constantly rearranging things as they continue to introduce new regional exhibits. We were sad to see them close their huge bird garden, aquarium and bird house in 2020 but are excited to see those birds integrated into the new exhibits. They also announce baby animals all the time. We have celebrated 🍾 so many baby elephants and Giraffes
I was binge watching all your zoo videos today
Baby Elephants are too adorable!
Late to the party, but very cool that ya’ll enjoyed my hometown zoo, it really is a great place and REALLY expanding and growing.
-Yes, the elephant habitat is top of the line and LIGHTYEARS ahead of when I went as a kid. It has expanded considerably and have a breeding program that is unrivaled IMO, also have done immense research on Elephant Herpes Virus that is extremely fatal to elephants under 2 years old, but the Zoo has a working relationship with Baylor College of Medicine that has made immense strides in not only combating EEHV, but actually preventing it. Thailand (who is the breeding bull) is over 50 years old but still a prolific breeder as well!
-The exhibits that are being refurbished and built are absolutely amazing, and yes, most have been built within the last 7 years. Gorillas opened in the African Forest (an exhibit built in 2010) in 2014, Texas Wetlands (where the gators were) opened in 2019, South America’s Pantanal opened in October of last year, and REALLY looking forward to the Galapagos Islands exhibit (which will be the largest undertaking the Zoo will be taking on, and will open to actually celebrate the Zoo’s centennial!).
Glad ya’ll enjoyed it! 😊
@20:50 Titanoboa. A pretty recent discovery too, as it was unearthed in 2009.
The discovery is actually a pretty extraordinary story and a once in a lifetime kind of find. They were find in the Cerrejon Formation of South America during a mining excavation that unearthed hundreds of fossils, including fossilized plants. Many of the bones were initially attributed to being some kind of crocodylomorph (crocodilian, basically), before one of the intern students noticed a spinal vertebrae was oddly shaped, and absolutely massive, for a crocodylomorph. They ended up shifting back through the fossilized fauna they uncovered and soon realized that many of the bones actually belonged to some kind of very large snake, which was later confirmed with one of their peers (I forget his name, but he was the one behind the discovery of Gigantophis, another giant snake).
They ended up traveling back to the Cerrejon Formation and uncovered even more snake fossils, about 28 complete specimens of different sizes, with the largest being around 42 ft long, making it the largest known snake to have ever lived.
Fun fact South America's Pantanal opened back at 10/10/20 it is a new exhibit but it wont be next year for Galapagos islands next year in the fall ( it is for the keeping our world wild campaign that started in 2018 ) another fun fact it was the first time Houston zoo had giant river otters, at 15:06 it used to be a home for jaguars the pigmy hippo it was here last year at the 23rd of November when it was shown to the public. next year is their 100th birthday for the zoo and galapagos islands at the zoo will open next fall on april 8th they announced.
Thanks for the info

Probably not this year unless it’s sometime in the fall, but always look forward to going to see Fiona, Rico, Isla and the rest of the animals there.
You know have you watched Kotaro and Hana? They are Asian Small Clawed Otters.
Do you prefer the San Antonio Zoo or Houston Zoo? And why? I’m debating which one to go too 😅
Houston Zoo as I found it nicer, more modern and larger
