San Diego, California - I had the incredible honor and opportunity to spend a day in the life at the World's Best Zoo in San Diego, California.
The San Diego Zoo (@SanDiegoZoo) is located in the vibrant city of San Diego, California, is a world-renowned destination for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. Spread across 100 acres of lush, meticulously designed landscapes, this iconic zoo is home to over 3,500 animals representing more than 650 species.
With its unwavering commitment to conservation and education, the San Diego Zoo offers visitors a unique opportunity to observe and learn about diverse creatures from around the globe. From majestic elephants and playful pandas to elusive big cats and colorful birds, the zoo provides a captivating experience for all ages. With its innovative exhibits, state-of-the-art facilities, and expert staff, the San Diego Zoo continues to inspire awe, foster appreciation for wildlife, and ignite a passion for the natural world.
I had the opportunity to spend the most of my time in my "day in the life" with the amazing polar bears, elephants, hummingbirds, and giant tortoises. What a day!

@@kingsharkoon Please name a single species that DOESN'T need conservation. Even animals of least concern are at risk due to fragmentation of their environments, which lead to quick decline in genetic diversity of populations. And THOUSANDS of animals are released into the wild every year from zoos. The problem is that people don't care about these animals. People only think of elephants and lions and tigers, but what about all the birds, reptiles, insects, amphibians, less interesting mammals and fish that are being released? Just off the top of my head I can think of the Guam rail, California condor, black-footed ferrets, Panamanian golden frogs, bongos, Galapagos tortoises, all animals that have been bred by zoos and helped reintroduce their populations and add genetic diversity to wild populations! And these are just ones I can think of! Zoos (accredited ones!) do more for conservation that any industry, company, or person in the world!!

there are some zoos that have exhibits and areas set up like this. However, it isn't possible for all animals to be viewed in a "safari" type setup. Lions and tigers would be some of those because they are incredibly dangerous. It isn't something widely advertised but a lot of african safaris have guides with rifles for a reason.

I had a buddy who worked at the San Diego zoo for years and he took us back stage at the Polar Bear exhibit and had the male stand up just a few feet away from us and my heart literally stopped in terror at the size of this alpha predator standing 12 feet high with his paws raised. He stated that they would eat him in a second if they had a chance even though he was their primary caretaker at the time. I still have a few friends who are senior caretakers there so always keep an eye out when I’m at the zoo in hopes of getting another behind the scenes adventure. It is a great zoo.

Had it lasted a little longer he would have gotten up and fallen in the water. We are not very much in tune with the fauna. We are city folks for sure. You are brave.

Two points about that: 1) Does the possible or even certain extinction of a species as a hole (which cannot suffer) justify the obviously appearent suffering of individual animals (which are proven to can suffer)? 2) The part Zoos play in the preservation of animal species is minimal at best. In Germany our parliament was asked this by one of the opposing parties. The ratio of animals set free to animals captured (not rescued) was 150 to over 800 and I highly doubt these numbers to be better outside of europe.

Would you rather the two polar bear siblings who lost their mother at 3 months old have also died not long after their mother did? They wouldn't have died peacefully either. An adult male polar bear would've eaten them alive. You'd rather that happen?

@@robinweyand5327 well , zoos have come a long way in keeping animals, when I was a kid the zoo near me had tigers and lions in concrete enclosures, now it’s more natural. The truth is , whenever animals and humans interact, there is always a change in behaviour by both, sometimes good and sometimes not. Some wildlife have adapted very well to human activity, you should see the bush turkeys here in Sydney, they are all over the shop as for breeding, zoos are places that are able to breed animals that are at risk at extinction. Even if the percentage is low, but it’s better than nothing. Do wildlife belong in the wild , absolutely they do, no matter how one looks at it, there are no easy solutions or quick fixes, in most countries there are a whole host of issues which impact wildlife by humans in a negative way. There things being done to combat the poaching and other environmental problems, but it’s a battle that is a constant one

I went to the San Diego Zoo with my dad many years ago. The last time I’ve been in a zoo. It is definitely the best zoo in the world. Nice video and you’re killing it with this channel and Garett eats. Looking forward to what’s next.

too many negative comments in a row. thanks for the video dude. zoos are a necessary thing in our world right now, but it's good to know people care so much about the animals to give them habitats like this.

Yeah, it's too bad people don't watch the full episode and understand the context before they comment "zoos suck" - I get it, I wish there wasn't any need for zoos either.

In the same time ,they have big dogs in small apartments , goldfish in round bowls , birds in cages , but they will say it is not the same

Every zoo should be like this no less. I have no hate for zoos that are run properly, they benefit animals and research in so many ways and provide so much happiness towards animals in need and guests.

Nature is, was, and always will be the best habitat. Once humans are extinct, and all the animals in the zoos have died because there aren't any humans left to care for them, nature can get back to doing what it does best, without humans interfering and trying to take nature's place. We don't deserve this planet.

I completely agree, but unfortunately that's just not reality. Did you watch the full video? Hopefully it adds a little more context. 🙏

Thanks for showing us a slice of what zoo keepers and workers due to keep the animal fed. It looks like a lot of hard work. I've been to that Zoo years ago and it was interesting and fun. I have been to other Zoo's and Sea World. I have mixed feelings about them being in captivity for our enjoyment.
@Shoazo 10 ай бұрын
Having mixed feelings about it is a great start! Atleast you think about it and don't just go to zoos for enjoyment.
