'Wow... wow... WOW!' is all you'll manage to say if you ever get the privilege of experiencing THE LIED JUNGLE (Pronounced 'Leed'). At just over an acre, it opened as and holds the title of North America's largest indoor rainforest. 2,000 live plants, over 100 secure and free roaming animals under an 80 foot high translucent ceiling - supported by massive buttress tree facades. Gibbons sing and swing, tapirs snorkle, otters squeak, and free to fly BATS soar over your head! Enjoy what is still considered to be one of the greatest, unmatched, and unbelievable exhibits ever built.

Scott Richardson's America's Top 100 Zoos and Aquariums Book
Link: www.izes.co.uk/...
"The first-ever comprehensive overview of America's top zoos and aquariums looks at the history and exhibits of the world's biggest and most influential zoo community. Indeed, this book represents the first critical look at U.S. aquariums in 24 years - a period in which much has changed. Each essay concludes with a synopsis of the best exhibits and unusual species to be seen at that particular facility. Also included in this section is an overview of conservational projects at the zoo or aquarium under discussion. Full color imagery illustrates each review; remarkably this is the first time that a guide to U.S. zoos and aquariums has offered such an essential aspect.
*The Lied Jungle is or was considered one of the world's greatest exhibits, where does it rank on your favorites list?*
It’s definitely the top one
In your opinion, Is it better than tropic world at the brookfield zoo?
Yep I would consider it on the top list
I haven't been to Henry Doorly but one thing I have noticed in nearly every zoo tour I've seen of the place is how small some of the exhibits are. They seem to tuck in tiny aviaries and enclosures everywhere. Some of the exhibits seem more focused on displaying the animals for effect, more so than the animals wefare. I didn't like that tapir exhibit one bit! That cave cage for a clouded leopard was terrible, I'm glad there's only an owl in there now. I've seen some other examples in the desert dome too.
I think this exhibit will be on my list. I always liked these "houses". The only thing, it seemed to me that tapirs and hippos do not have enough land. Perhaps it will stand somewhere in the 14th place.
When I was 9 I waited several hours to see the Lied Jungle on opening day. It totally blew my mind. Since the Jungle was built the zoo has constructed several mega projects and completely transformed itself. There is very little from that era still remaining. Even though it is pushing 30, The Lied Jungle is still an amazing experience and my favorite zoo exhibit.
Thank you so much for still uploading during these times. Here in the UK we’re still locked down but I’m back to school next week, zoos don’t reopen until after Easter and your videos really do help me feel as though I’m seeing the animals for myself, and I don’t know how you do it but it’s wonderful. Thank you.
if you ever have the chance you have to come here! I grew up across the street and worked there for years! thus is so much more than a zoo! it's a paradise and they do so much in terms of education and rehabilitation! I hope things are going well for you 🙏
also the bottom story I'd the best part!
Has always been my favorite exhibit since I was a kid. Every single time we enter the building I forget I’m even in a zoo let alone the Midwest
THHANKS FOR YOUR CARE OF SHOWING ANIMALS EVEN IF NOT THERE AT THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Living here and having a yearly pass is literally the best thing ever!!!!!
This is the reason i always make sure my settings are at 1080p60 whenever i open up one of your videos
I've been to the Lied Jungle twice and both times I loved it! Sure, it's not perfect but it's still a phenomenal exhibit and probably my favorite part of the Henry Doorly Zoo.
I've never been to the US but I have been to the world's largest indoor rainforest. The "Gondwanaland" in Leipzig, Germany. It was amazing and is probably my favourite exhibit that I've been to
OMG yes! I haven't been to any USA zoos but my god, the German and Dutch zoos rock! The tropic exhibit at Emmen Wildlands has Asian elephants in it, I think it is four times the size of the lied jungle.
I really love this channel though, and hopefully when the pandemic is under control, we can see some tours of the European zoos. I'd gladly donate to a Go fund me to send him off to document Leipzig, Zurich, Basle, Frankfurt etc. I reckon he'd do the best job! Plus he'd get to see animals like pangolin, pygmy anteater, yapok, coconut crabs, birds of paradise, giant armadillo, otter shrew, aye-aye, brown hyena and other amazing creatures that are rare or absent from the US zoos.
@@graphite2786 Seems unlikely he would travel to Europe but I agree. I haven't been to any zoos in the Netherlands but what I have seen has been great
@@oliverbrunninge Yes there are still many zoos in the USA that he hasn't covered, so they will of course have priority. But if this channel really takes off and starts making big dollars....who knows what could happen?
6:32 In case you haven't already been told, this used to be where they had a Baird's Tapir. I hadn't visited the Lied Jungle recently enough to know that they had to switch it out for the time being, interesting news to me.
You uploaded just in time for lunch 😋✌
I can't wait to see this someday!!
As an Omaha resident, I am inordinately proud of our zoo, at it is easily my second favorite place in the world after my own home. On a more comedic note, I think I vaguely remember getting pooped on by a bat on the lower level when I was much, much younger. On a final note, really looking forward to seeing more of it now that everything is opening back up.
Is the new orangutan exhibit open yet? I interned for the zoo last summer and am looking to again this summer
Yay! My zoo again!
I remember when this exhibit opened! I had so much fun going to this zoo.
Great video. Absolutely nailed it with the tapir part... they've needed more land to move about on for years. Glad to see the upper part of their enclosure is available to them now.
I think this exhibit was the first time I ever saw a pygmy hippo in person
I have a very fond memory of this attraction. Including a ring tailed lemur that nearly jumped onto my shoulder when i was a little kid. My girl scout troop was part of the first group in the jungle, way back when. 😊
Can’t wait to see part 2! This exhibit is absolutely amazing, hoping to go there one day
Hi, would you be interested in going to Cretaceous Park (made by SciiFii) if it existed? Just curious.
Absolutely love it.
Kowabunga! Been there 3 times back then! Wish they add binturongs in it! And did you know the Lied Jungle once have Visayan Warty Pigs to be precise? But when are you going to upload Part 2? Also, you & your girlfriend should try visiting the Woodland Park Zoo soon! Jumping Jaxartosaurus!🐒
I will record the lower level as soon as possible when they reopen it.
I visited the lied jungle one year ago and it was amazing it actually felt like I was in a rainforest it was a nice way to spend my spring break before the pandemic
NIce
This area is breathtaking I really hope to visit there soon.
Wow this building is amazing. It reminds my of the St Louis botanical gardens but with a lot more animals.
I remember when this first got built, you had to get a pass to get in set for a certain time frame. There is such a difference between then and now with all the tree’s plants, and animals being added and growing. it is a bit humid in there but I never seem to mind even on a hot day.
I love going there 😀
Along with the desert dome, scott aquarium and nocturnal kingdom the lied jungle is always my favorite at henry doorly
I’m going here in three weeks and I’m so excited this account is keeping me said before we go though.
Your getting closer to 10k!
Just saying but I am so looking forward to this coming Sunday and the reason is because I am going to be going to Omaha and me and my grandpa are planning to go to the zoo
I know it’s not really a zoo, but you could visit the ox ranch in Texas. I have heard some great stories about that place.
the last time I was there, I said "there's a croc in the water!" my family was confused and surprised, they looked and saw a shoe in the water 😂
Can you find Zoo Tours: The Lied Jungle | Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo (PART TWO) and put the whole video up here on your TH-cam channel, please?
The second floor is still closed to this day. It will be a very, very long time before such a video exists, unfortunately.
I would love to see a ZooTours Discord Channel!
When will you do part two of the lied jungle? Why did the bearcat become a name.
Iam From Bali Island, Indonesian🇮🇩
Tropical Country
Love Komodo Dragon
Imagine just trying to go to the zoo and getting ‘nam flashbacks
I LOVE THIS! ❤ Can you do the Butterfly place? (I forgot what it's called)
Bernice grewock butterfly and insect Pavillion
It caused Vietnam War veterans to have flash backs 😂😂😂
Please make more!
You missed a terrarium with hinged tailed tortoises by the elephant shrew
I beat my past self up for skipping Terrariums back then
Update Henry Doorly spring'23: th-cam.com/video/VJbaWzkvztU/w-d-xo.html
Im still waiting for part 2
Closed
Anyone still waiting for part 2?
3:13 well those don’t belong in the jungle.
@@TheRandomZooVisitor true, but I’d still prefer an animal that fit the theme
You mean the bats?
When he says biggest ___ in America I'm just like "yeah because we're just superior"
Watching that does bring me back some memories when I end up going through the lead jungle at the Henry doorly zoo when I was a child and also the most recent times when I went to the Henry doorly zoo that the Lied jungle was closed
I went to the zoo before
I was there this summer and I think they said that the bottom is closed due to covid beacuse if someone has covid in the building they are Afraid that one of the fruit bats can get it and spread it around to other people and other animals so it most likely won’t open back up until covid goes away.
I was told it was due to renovations
@@ZooTours interesting
@@ZooTours my guess is that to
I saw red howler monkey on the thumbnail, but it don't show on the video, can you explain?
It's the only stock hanging howler photo online in PNG transparent form - sometimes I don't feel the need to make the effort to go further than what's given. I did the same thing on Nashville's Bamboo Trail, and Cleveland's Wilderness Trek
okay, thanks for responding!
I wonder about it too.
3:34 is there any issue with letting the bats breed like rabbits?
?
Where's part 2 of the lied jungle?
The bottom floor is still closed
Pretty cool, but i think the Gondwanaland in Leipzig, Germany, is better
Can you do the second part?
It's closed
@@ZooTours k just was asking can you do the San Diego zoo reptile Mesa sometime since it has the best reptile house I ever been towards
When will part 2 come?
The bottom floor is still closed
@@ZooToursNot anymore! Just re opened.
When is part 2?
The bottom is still closed
Let me guess. Something to do with the pandemic?
That was the original thought but I hear they're doing renovations. They're doing a bunch on the top floor too.
What aniamals are in thre
where....where part 2???
The second floor is still closed
How do you pronounce it? Lid not lied? As in from lie?
The correct pronunciation 'Leed'

Dude where's PT 2
The bottom floor is still closed
@@ZooTours ok thanks Zach (:
Great Job! I would say this is my 10th favorite on my list.
0:45 I hope that was a joke because that’s just sad if it’s actually true.
Nope, it was a report from one of the zoo's books.
@@ZooTours Oh, I didn’t know that. I’m going this Friday, I guess that could be a fact I can share with my family who’s also going.
Hi zach when will part 2 come up oh and going to the henry doorly zoo will by on my bucket list
Since the second floor finally opened after 3 years, I would like to say I'll make my return early next year.
This place is amazing, but Singapore Zoo still has my heart. Coming in the morning and hearing the Siamangs holler and move around in the large trees of their cage less exhibit, seeing the orangutans swing above you, and large flying foxes soaring above your head, it’s truly amazing.
