From a boring straight line of hoofstock yards to this masterpiece. Goes to show how innovative and creative Houston can be despite having so little to work with compared with other far larger zoos.

The transformation of the hoofstock yards into a masterpiece at the Houston Zoo is indeed a testament to human creativity and innovation. It's inspiring to see what can be achieved with limited resources through dedication and ingenuity. This video showcases the remarkable work and commitment of those involved in making such improvements. 🌿🎨

7:31 - If you were to go see this Jaguar enclosure in late April or early May I'm telling you that the back fence is literally completely covered in dense foliage! The entire Pantanal looks so much different in those late spring early summer months. Texas has had a very hot summer and lots of plants have died due to the intense heat. I have many pictures from when I visited in May 2022 and it was crazy lush! Same with the Pantanal Large Enclosure. Usually there is a lot more grass, especially near the waters edge

I noticed the long grass at the peninsula didn’t last very long

now if only a national history museum had an even larger exhibit about South America from the Paleocene to Miocene because that would just be incredible to witness.

May be a little home zoo bias but it’s one of my favorite zoo exhibits across the zoos I’ve been to in the US. Thanks for featuring the exhibit on the channel.

Easily my favorite and what I consider to be the best zoo exhibit in the United States! The naturalism, the space, the welfare the conservation messages! Everything about South America's Pantanal at Houston is amazing!

Fun fact, but in the walkthrough aviary, there is a bird called the motmot that dug a burrow on 1 end of the aviary all the way to the other. The keeper told us that they had to make sure they couldn't dig out of the aviary

Celebrating the wonders of South America's Pantanal! This video is like a virtual journey through one of the most incredible and diverse ecosystems on the planet. The Pantanal is home to stunning wildlife and breathtaking landscapes. It's a reminder of the importance of conservation and the beauty that's worth protecting. Have you ever dreamed of exploring this remarkable place in person? 🌿🐊🦜

one of my favorite exhibits I have ever seen, though it still hurts to know that the original plans also included Black Caiman, Giant Armadillo, and Maned Wolf it would of been amazing if those 3 species made the final cut, the black caiman and maned wolf were cut due to space issues(the Whooping crane aviary was larger than initially planned so that cut into the place the black caimans were supposed to go), apparently the maned wolf was dropped early on I but I never was able to find the reason. Giant Armadillos were cut due to being unable to source them.

Don’t forget Squirrel Monkeys who’s exhibit was replaced with the first pantanal aviary.

Wow! Looks like I definitely need to get to Houston someday. The photo opportunities in that grasslands exhibit would be incredible. My favorite South American species has got to be Tapirs (any species), although I'm a big fan of Jaguars and Giant Anteaters as well.

@joshuazerbel2495 7 ай бұрын

My personal favorite South America species are capybaras because of their friendly nature and the title of worlds largest rodent

@chasechristophermurraydola9314 7 ай бұрын

My favorite South American species are Pudu, Tapir, Vicuna, Anteater and the many kinds of monkeys.

Funny story: years ago I was at a fair and one of the attractions was, for lack of a better term, an animal freak show. One of the advertisements said something to the effect of: See a 120 pound rat. I’m thinking ok this might be interesting, so I pay to see inside the tent. Turns out that the “rat” was actually a capybara. Ok, I know that a capybara is the worlds biggest rodent, but referring to it as a rat was a bit misleading.

Wowsers! Say, Zak, try visiting the South America Forest House at the San Francisco Zoo someday! Also, here are 4 zoo trivia questions for you & your girlfriend... 1) How many years ago did the San Francisco Zoo originally house 2 broad snout-nosed caimans at the South America Forest House? 2) Which lion at the Denver Zoo passed away this month? 3) Which Sumatran Tiger at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park gave birth to 2 tiger cubs? 4) What year did the coatimundis arrive at their new home in the Oakland Zoo after the renovation of the former bobcat exhibit! 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊

This is pretty cool. A lot of zoos I visited fly their macaws though.

@ZooTours 7 ай бұрын

Though I've seen quite a few flight presentations, I don't think I've ever seen a macaw in an enclosed aviary that wasn't clipped. The other times, they were always stuck on an island.

@TheRandomZooVisitor 7 ай бұрын

My local zoo used to have macaws that were clipped in their rainforest dome. The KC zoo still has macaws but are clipped but have a large tree in an open fronted indoor space
