      Elasmotherium lived in Eurasia. Elephant Odyssey was designed to mimic Pleistocene Southern California.

    I never quite got why zoo enthusiasts have such a grudge against Elephant Odyssey. I think the idea of representing extinct animals is really innovative and interesting. It’s at least a refresher from the standard ‘Africa’ and ‘Big cat’ -styled zones. The utilitrees might not be pretty but they are cool. I know I’m at a zoo, I don’t need them to be exact replicas of baobabs or whatever, as long as they’re stimulating the elephants.

      This is coming from someone that likes this area a lot, but I do actually think the stream is the best exhibit lol. If only because I’d never seen anything else like it, and I had the most fun standing there trying to see everything. I do think the lion exhibit is a bit on the small-side, I would honestly rather both cat exhibits were just for the two(?) jaguars

    • @ZooTours
      @ZooTours  4 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      Another thing is, and I wanted to mention this but ran out of footage, if this exhibit were in any other zoo, no one would complain. It's only because it doesn't "hold up to San Diego Zoo standards".

    The San Diego zoo is quite literally my favorite place if you couldn’t tell from their logo as my profile picture. My dream is to work there and I wanted to thank you for doing an amazing job doing the zoo justice in the 2 videos you’ve made so far. I can’t wait for the next zoo tours video and again thank you for putting out cheerful, quality content during these uncertain times.

    Been to that exhibit 2 times before! It was great! Unfortunately, Tembo the elephant did pass away a few months ago! Fortunately, I give the San Diego Zoo 2 thumbs up, which is one of my favorite zoos of all times! But In fact, you should visit the San Diego Zoo Safari Park soon! Heaving Kentrosaurus!🐘

    The Pleistocene American Southwest is probably my favorite ecosystem it not only has an unusual collection of fascinating animals from all over the world but it was the home of my favorite animal smilodon fatalis aka the saber tooth cat seeing it come back to life seeing it come back to life is epic 👌

  • @michaelmisanik9787
    @michaelmisanik9787 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I actually got to see this exhibit a few months after it opened at it was a truly amazing experience for me during a very difficult year in my life. Thank you for showing this exhibit and talking about the amazing animals that call it home. I wish a few changes could have been made such has having wild horses and allowing the smaller hoofstock mix with the elephants but over all it is still a one of a kind wildlife exhibit.

    All right,so here we are in front of the elephants,the cool thing about these guys is that they have really,really,really long trunks,and that's,that's cool.
    And that's pretty much all there is to say.

      Zoo Tours okay and just saying that I can’t wait for you to do the Philadelphia zoo because I love it a lot I have been there a lot and I love it like how you can see tigers walking right over your head and seeing other animals like the giraffe 🦒 the white rhino 🦏 the hippos 🦛 the lions 🦁 the tigers 🐅 the leopards 🐆 Jaguar 🐆 the red panda the giant river otters 🦦 the fossa the aardvark and when they used to have it the red shanked douc its a kind of monkey that they don’t have any more but I love the Chinese alligator 🐊 the king cobra 🐍 the meerkat the maned wolf and many others
