'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/America-s-Top-1...
"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.

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.

@FromLAtoFUNland 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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.

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.
