Thanks for the great video!

I love your videos, Derek. There are a couple of African species that I wish more zoos would display, including the the striped hyena, Cape buffalo, bonobo, aardwolf and secretary bird.

I just got back from the Cincinnati zoo I’m going to the Detroit zoo in a couple days. I’m sad they have no elephants but Detroit zoo is great!

[@kevinmiller4457]

It’s a pretty nice African section. Sad to see the hippos and painted dogs not there any more.So many zoos have gotten rid of hippos or have passed and have not gotten new ones.

I wish more zoos displayed the honey badger!

[@DereksZooVideos0118]

Me too! I was definitely a little sad that Fort Wayne phased out their Honey Badgers.

[@kevinmiller4457]

@@DereksZooVideos0118oh! I just realized the OKC zoo will be getting honey badgers for Expedition Africa!

I wish more US zoos displayed Geladas

[@DereksZooVideos0118]

I haven't had a chance to see Geladas yet, so I would have to agree!

Did you know Jabari is the tallest giraffe in the country

[@DereksZooVideos0118]

I had not heard that, thanks for sharing!

[@JaredNGF2003]

Seems like the next episode will be something about a Pygmy hippo who attacked a sitatunga before the exhibit’s opening

[@DereksZooVideos0118]

Correct. It's very unfortunate that that incident has clouded the opening of what really is a great new habitat.

[@JaredNGF2003]
