EPISODE 125
G'day boomers and flyers!
We're off to Ohio for another wild round of the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo! We've been through their rainforests, watched elephants walk across a guest path, and even stood right under a tiger - this episode features some of the world's cutest creatures. The multi-sectioned Australian Adventure opened in 2000, which brought 8 acres of the land down under right to you! There are plenty of 'Australian Adventures' across the states and over time, the idea has become a cookie cutter concept. Cleveland does things a little different: their adventure features Dingoes, a livestock ranch that corresponds with a fully furnished Victorian style home, a 55 foot tall walk-thru baobab tree, a walkabout always full of joeys, a walk-thru aviary and a side by side display of a Koala family, and a Tree Kangaroo.
Enjoy!

I have to be biased and say that Taronga Zoo here in Sydney has a great Australian precinct! We have the southern oceans (Australian sea lions, blue penguins, New Zealand fur seals), a Tasmanian devil breeding centre, two different kangaroo/emu walkthroughs with reds and greys, several aviaries, wombats, echidnas and a lot of koala exhibits! It’s also going to have a newly remodeled section and nocturnal house opening in the next year or so. If you’re ever in Australia, bring your batteries! Echidnas are my absolute favourite Aussie animals.

My favourite Australian exhibit is Project Australia at Hamerton Zoo over here in the UK - they have the only common wombats and dingoes in the UK, the only Australian cassowaries, golden brushtail possums, squirrel gliders and ringtail possums in Europe, they were the first to bring in some increasingly common species in Europe like the rufous bettong and the spinifex hopping mouse and also have some other very interesting animals like echidnas, swamp wallabies, Australian brush-turkeys, barking owls and unusual Australian fishes.

Brookfield zoo's Australian exhibit has to be my favorite that I've seen personally

@patricknowacki9675 11 ай бұрын

The new-ish petting zoo area in the far southeast corner of Brookfield also has a cool emu/wallaby walkthrough habitat and a Budgerigar open flight building which were both pretty cool experiences but I've only ever visited that area once when it first opened

Glad you took another tour to my home zoo! Also I have about a month ago while volunteering there, I saw a bush kangaroo sleeping in a little burrow on the floor part of the gum-tree hideout. That area used to have an echidna for several years. And I only saw that critter like maybe once or twice growing up.

0:35 Red kangaroos are not only the largest macropod, but they're my favorite animals.😁 They're also iconic from the land down under and they're marsupials which means they raise joeys in pouches.😎👍👍👍

I've been following the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo since I was a boy. Fun fact: The Koala exhibit also housed echidnas. But no one has ever seen them, since they are borrowers.

Best Australian Exhibit? Healesville Sanctuary in Victoria Australia. Only shows animals from Southern Australia - every exhibit. Animals include platypus, echidna, 2 species of wombat, 4 species of glider, Leadbeaters possum, over a dozen species of macropod, ( wallaby, bettongs, potoroo and kangaroo), bandicoots, ghost bats, antechinus, dasyurids and quolls ( marsupial cats) Tasmanian devils, rahkali, kultarr, koala and dingo. Birds include lyrebird, bustard, jabiru, brolga, 7 species of lorikeet, 13 species of honeyeaters, heaps of parrot species, waterbirds, Australian wrens, robins and quail - most of which have never been exhibited outside of Australia.

Its such a shame that the Yagga tree was closed! That was a staple of my Cleveland zoo visits as a kid! This was the newest part of the zoo while I was growing up until they added the Elephant crossing so it was the most memorable part for me!

Trivia Answer: The scene where the koala sound was used for the T-rex in Jurassic Park was were the T-rex eats the lawyer who was using the restroom to hide away from Rexy. (Rexy’s the name of the T-rex for the first and rest of the Jurassic Park/World movies btw)

My favourite australian attraction would have to be the Australasia Pavilion at my local, the Toronto Zoo. It doesn't just have a field with kangaroos, wallabies, and emus, but as it name suggests, a building that highlights reptiles and amphibians, birds, and even insects of the continent, way more then other australian exhibits show, and has pretty good interpretives. Okay mind you, I haven't visited many other australian exhibits, besides Granby Zoo's in Quebec. Still, that's pretty good itself, with high amounts of theming and a big south pacific aquarium in it.

Thanks for another fun tour through Clevland Zoo, this Australia themed really does stand out from the others I've seen; especially given the fact that they have 7 SPECIES of Marsupials (One of which I've yet to see)! Busch Gardens is the only place I've seen a Wallaroo in the flesh, and as far as I can tell, there's only one in Buch's Kangaroo Habitat. As for my favorite Australian themed habitat, two come to mind. There is the Busch Gardens Kangaroo trail I just mentioned, But I got to give my number one favorite to the Posner Austraila Center at Zoo Miami. It may not be as big or as elaborate as other Australia themed areas I've seen, but it does have a good diversity of Aussie animals for me to see. I got a closer look at Koalas, and saw my very first Wombat, Tree Kangaoo, and Singing Dog there.

Lack of trees for koalas also means that starve. They only eat very particular eucalypt tree varieties, and only new growth at that. They also each require hundreds of trees per a koala to survive.

Crikey! You & your should someday visit the Australia Zoo, along with the Woodland Park Zoo, Oakland Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, & maybe the Sacramento Zoo, too! Also, 4 zoo trivia questions for you & your girlfriend, Zak.... 1) What are the names of the 2 rescued cougar cubs that the Oakland Zoo have bred so far? 2) How many new Mexican Gray Wolves did the SF Zoo welcomed when Bowie's 2 brothers passed away, recently? 3) What original antelope species did the SF Zoo once had before the bongos moved in? 4) Which zoo did the SF Zoo's hippopotamus, Bruce, go to to interact with a female?

Kind of sucks. No wombats, no Tasmanian devils, no emu, no platypus, no quoll, no Quokkas, no Echidna nor any of the rare Australian snakes and lizards. And the infamous saltwater crocodile that gives the crocodile hunter his fame. Yes, I like the wallaby, roos, koala, and kookaburra. But that about sums up Australian section. And farm animals are available in almost all farms, not just Australians' so I do not count them.

Not a clue what you're referring to my friend. If you're referring to the 8 acres, it most certainly is almost exactly 8 acres (approximately 8.05). There's a decent amount of walking not shown in the first section, and the train covers a ton of ground.
