    I feel like this has been Eugene’s goal all along. Years of working in production companies were all to lead to him getting his own animal show and live out his Zaboomafoo childhood dreams. Respect.

      I agree 100% hahaha
      I used to be a zoo keeper, I wish I could have signed off my shows with that!
      For the comments about animal exploitation, that zebra didn't look stressed. I agree that taking an animal out of it's natural environment seems counter productive and was something I struggled with when I first became a keeper. However, if you can give the general public a personal experience with an animal they're more likely to connect with and thus give a sh*t about the species as a whole and be willing to help them.
      Most animals do really well in captivity as long as they are respected, given large personalized enclosures and kept entertained by thier carers.
      And believe me when I say thier carers LOVE them, and would never put them in harms way.

Then my therapist was just like “so all this time the secret to making you assertive was cats?”

Considering the fact he wasn't aware of the "Zebras cannot be domesticated and attack people fact" I'd be willing to guess that the production crew were the ones who didn't do the research involving the animal so they could "surprise" him when it came on set. A lot of people don't know these things and I could easily see this being a mistake of the production crew and team to not research the animal welfare and needs.

Traveling is really stressful for most animals, then add up cameras and lights. This cannot be fun.

    Dear Zoogene: I have been watching all you guys since buzzfeed. I just wanted to tell you how much appreciated how relatively careful you were with the zebra. Most shows who host animals do not consider said animals. I have been dealing with large animals (even zebras a couple of times) all my life... I'm old. You were so restrained and careful. I am sure everyone appreciates it. That boy was already worked up and you did not add to it. You asked questions, showed safely and were fabulous! Please, do more of these so people can see how to properly interact with other beings. As always, class!

      They should know better than to exploit an animal for views and money… this series should never have started and anyone with common sense, anyone who cares at all about animals, would have never brought this idea to the table. Eugene looks like an asshole standing there with his print shirt next to a zebra on a set… it’s disgusting.

    I love how the try guys completely break stereotypes. Zach has always been looked at as the weakest but has to be insanely strong everyday to fight his chronic pain. Ned is seen as reckless and childish but is extremely intelligent, shown by his Yale education. Eugene is the “straight man” of the group while being a fabulous gay icon. Keith is the kind goofball that still shows a range of emotion, instead of being disingenuous.
    These guys blow my mind, they really are all amazing individually and as a group

    I appreciate how much Eugene kept his distance and gave Zimba space to adjust and made sure to let him relax, even though he’s so excited to meet a wild animal, which we all would be. But wild animals are not domestic ones, and we need to constantly remind ourselves that even those who were raised in captivity are not used to close human contact and are not supposed to be. This applies to every wild animal, not just carnivores like lions/tigers but also herbivores as well ❤️

It had to travel there, then be held in a room with lights and cameras. Can't be fun. Makes me feel bad for the Zebra.

  • @bleuefish

    The minute I saw that zebra in there I knew it was going to poop on the floor. Equines always poop when they are unsettled in a new environment. It's a function of the parasympathetic nervous system and in the wild helps them evade predators. TL/DR: lighten the load so you can run faster. Wonder who got to clean it up?
