Best Animals at Copenhagen Zoo - Fun and gorgeous day spent exploring.

[@aquajuwel7098]

As a Norwegian I miss going to Denmark so much😭like so many Norwegians we go there every year, Denmark is amazing, can’t wait for the borders to open. Norway has the nature, with fjords and mountains, but Denmark has the best food and I love the relaxed atmosphere and people.

[@blueeyedpunk]

Then just come by.

[@vanefreja86]

Right back at you 🤗🥰

[@mwtrolle]

At least the food in Denmark is much cheaper unless you buy salmon maybe. Love going to Norway mostly for skiing, but often bring the food from home or at least part of it. Norway is so beautiful, now with the corona, there will probably be more tourism internally between the nordic countries. I'm sure thinking of going to Norway in the summer if we are allowed to, with a corona pass, I have got vaccinated a few weeks ago.

[@MC-Racing]

We miss you too, brothers from the North :-)

[@ChokyoDK]

I am Danish, and part Norwegian and I love to go to Norway, so I guess it's the same the other way around.

[@davidpax]

If you go to Randers (in Jylland), you should visit Randers Regnskov. It's a tropical indoor Zoo. T-shirts recommended. (30°C)

[@TGC851]

Or ree park. The animals have a lot more space than in Copenhagen zoo

[@lenegreve5462]

Or go see MOMU a museum that is interactive

Dont forget about the lion park in Jylland as well

I love Copenhagen Zoo .... My favorit animal is the Girafs .. They are so beautiful 💞💞

[@enfyrfrayt]

If you like cows that much you should totally go to øko-dag. (Sadly not a option due too Corona this year, but maybe around this time next year 🤷 ) It's a day where some farms are open for the public, and the farmer then opens the gates so that the cows can run back on their fields, sounds kinda borring.... but after being held inside for the entire winter, the cows gets super excited about finnaly going outside again, so much that they start to run, and do some weird jumps, they totally freak out, because they cant contain alle the happines inside them, so they let it out in these weird jumps. It's just a nice day out for the family, and you get to see some happy cows.... Win/Win 😊👍

[@larsmuldjord9907]

+1 to this. I've been to Øko-dag several times and it's always a joy. Many farmers arrange fun things for the kids to do and there's places to buy food and the scouts sometimes join in setting up a bonfire to make "snobrød". It's just a great day for the family. And the highpoint is of course when the cows are let out and dance around the pastures. Love it!

[@havevlog-willtravel.thecoo286]

Try to go to Knuthenborg Safaripark on Lolland. It's a lovely place 😊

[@Elgsdyr]

Zoos are great. I can recommend Randers Regnskov if you're ever in that area. Also Nordsøen Oceanarium (previously: Nordsømuseet) in Hirtshals is definitely worth a visit. Supposedly, Kattegatcentret in Grenaa is good too, but I haven't been there myself.

[@georgeambush]

"... And how were we behaving as parents? ... You we're laughing :-(" LOL - I would have done the exact same if it was one of my daughters 🤣😂❤

[@Jonezy1977]

What... Starting the video, thinking no one is gonna pick my favorite and then Miranda goes on and pick my beloved seals. :) I have the year card for the Zoo and visit frequently, always saying hi to the seals. I love they effortless swimming combined with their cute chubbiness.

[@TravelinYoung]

My favorite FAVORITE animal is the much maligned bat which is why I was sad I couldn't see them. However, in their absence, I will gladly profess my love of harbor seals. I mean how can you not love them? They are painfully cute. The best is where they do that thing where they lay on their side and slap their belly with their flipper. I just melt! I almost bought a seal stuffie to commemorate the visit :D - M

[@drdewott9154]

Glad you enjoyed the Zoo. Also did you guys by any chance hear of the time where they disected a giraffe and fed it to the lions? It happened quite a few years ago now but my god that made headlines in the US for all the stupidest reasons imo.

[@TravelinYoung]

Ha, we did see that before we moved here.

[@vonduus]

I wouldn't have thought of cows as my favorite zoo animal, because to me they are quite normal, something i saw everyday out in the fields as a kid. But when I think about it, cows actually are my second favorite animal. Elephants are and always will be no. 1

[@TravelinYoung]

We all have to admit that when we see cows while we're driving we say "Oh look! Cows!"

[@thomaspetersen3220]

Kinda funny to watch as I am from Grenaa in Denmark but I’ve lived in NY now for the past 18 years.

[@alexrottb]

Miranda, if you love seals, you need to come to Randers Regnskov and check out the manatees. Especially if you can catch them at feeding time. Seeing those huge, dopey, adorable blobs munching on a whole head of lettuce is a sight to behold. Also, they're sea cows. Totally Maya's thing, too.

[@TravelinYoung]

Sounds cool, we will need to check it out!

[@Villads-Wessel]

[@FoxyOnyxSheep]

You guys Should definitely visit Knuthenborg Safaripark!! Best place for animals in my opinion :D

[@kinuuni]

Omg that kid looks exactly like every single boy I went to class with in the 90's. Did nothing change since then or is it the waves of fashion that has come back around to the 90's boyband style again?

Its back :(

[@kinuuni]

@@dgh25 I suppose we will never be safe from even the types of fashion choices we thought we would always look back on and go 'uhh ....' XD

[@Vlad-sj5yw]

It's full circle. It's a bit sad we're now old enough to have a style come back but I actually like it. Something about them looking like how people looked in the childhood happy times makes me automatically have a good first impression of them. I just hope the Reebok shoes, Evisu pants and porcupine hair of the 00's doesn't come back. That still takes the cake as the worst looking style of my time.

[@ShifuDaxiongmao]

Have you invested in, or considered, the zoo kort?? I think it's about 475kr per person per year from date of purchase, BUT for that you get personal free entry on any regular opening hours, you can bring one guest per card for free on the special zoo days, get a few discounts on merch bought in the stores in the zoo... and finally, it provides you with discounts on the entrance to a bunch of other places in Denmark, including some other zoos, aquariums etc. (If I remember the ticket price for cph zoo right, visit 3 times during a year and you've already "paid for the card")

[@shywalker404]

One can actually see the elephants from the Frederiksberg have , look at a map where it meets. So if you want to catch a glimpse , you dont even have to pay to get inside the zoo, just walk in the park, find that corner where the two meet and see the elephants :) Maya likes cows ?When Denmark is all open again and next year spring , Maya should check out when the cows are led to pasture, they are let out for the first time after winter. They run , jump and leap , just like huge dogs have a blast ,it is real fun to watch. They show it on tv also in the news at evening, but so much better IRL. If you already know this or have seen this , yay :-D

[@jimmywayne983]

The great thing about most (if not all) of the danish zoo`s, they are part of the "european breeding and perservation program" (det eruropæiske avlsprogram) and they make sure that these species are safe from extinction, by making sure animals arnt interbred with animals they are relatives to and they also take part in releasing animals back into the wild. Very interesting to dig into the breeding program and all the things it does for animals.

[@kmbk7982]

In copenhagen zoo, make your way to the monkey exhibit - the churro stand is right next to it! best part of the zoo! okay the polar bears are cool too... just like the icecream pairing with my churros!

[@dth1326]

I can highly recommend Skandinavisk Dyrepark in Jutland for another zoo-visit. It is an animal park themed around the nordic wildlife. The animals have lots of space, unlike any other zoo I know of in Denmark. The park has massive enclosures for wolves, bears and polar bears. They even have a well-preserved mammoth skeleton :D ! Also, you can feed some of the deer, just walking around humans. Btw, congrats for appearing on Go' Morgen Danmark today. You were awesome to watch :)

[@socrates_the_great6209]

Impressive good English from so young a danish boy/man.

[@MrBeerGuy]

The pandas was gifted to Denmark when the goverment banned the Dalai Lama from comming to Denmark and meeting with the royal family. This was the same reason the UK lost their pandas, because they allowed the Dalai Lama to visit.

[@mwtrolle]

Agree, they are animals of shame! Though I think it was more the result of the suppression of the Tibetan demonstrators doing the visit from the CCP, which later lead to the Tibet-commission. Anyway no one gets the pandas gifted, the US zoo that was talked about didn't and neither have the Copenhagen zoo! They are only on loan as long as we do the CCP's bidding. They are not worth it, hope they will be taken back soon, as that would be proof that Denmark finally is going against one of the evilest regimes in the world today.

You should go to knuthenborg safaripark if you like Copenhagen Zoo.

[@familienmarton2973]

At our cottage in Hungary, there was a small zoo. There you could pet tiger cubs. The funniest thing was that they also had a dog playing with the tiger cubs. The best friends in the world

[@mwtrolle]

It's normal to use dogs to socialize big cat cubs. You can find some that are really easy on the cubs and the grownup cats are not. I get how the cubs were cute, and would love to hold one. But I do find it kind of problematic, that they had to be in contact with so many people. They should be allowed to live as normal a life as possible, they need to be tame so that the keepers can do what they need, but that's not there same as having contact to hundreds of people a day.

[@AB-80X]

Please, what ever you do. Do not support zoo's that allow people to be in contact with such animals. You are not doing the animal any favours to say the least.

[@TheHihatiha]

My favorite animal to see is the seals as well. Fun fact: Seals are a delicious cuisine in Greenland and it is my all time favorite food. So i miss my Greenlandic dish everytime i go see them. xD

If you just fancy a nice stroll one day and want to see some animals without paying entrance fee, then there are certain lookouts located in Frederiksberg Have and Søndermarken where you look into CPH Zoo. From søndermarken you can see the savannah animals and from Frederiksberg have you can see the elephants. :)

[@HM-zu6lu]

Fine positive video! If you are at the zoo, you ought to walk downhill to Frederiksberg Have, its a fine park with canals and rowing ferries from way back til King Frederik the 6th (1830), there is a chinese tea pavillion, a man made artificial waterfall etc. etc. Well worth spending a day there. Also nearby the old cafes such as MG Petersens familiehave with smørrebrød is well worth a visit if yoy are hungry. HM.

Great Video Copenhagen Zoo is Ok compared to many of the zoos i visited in the USA. It is one of the worlds oldest though. ut if you look on size its one of Europes smallest. If you like big try Knuthenborg Safaripark, one of Europes largest in southern Denmark (on your way down you could make a stop at Krokodille zoo in Eskilstrup with Europes largest collection of crocodiles) If you like big there are Berlin zoo (the worlds biggest collection of animals incl giant pandas) and Berlin Tierpark (with 160 ha 12 times as big as Copenhagen zoo with a rainforest hall where you walk among giant flying foxes). If you ever travel to Austria, Belgium or the Netherlands Vienna has the worlds oldest zoo. You drink coffee like the emperor did 250 years ago, it has giant pandas and a walk through aviary with bats Arnhem with my favorite zoo, bit like in Omaha you have a desert house, rainforest house, mangrove house etc where you walk through these habitats with animals almost running free around you. Relative near by is Kröller-Müller Museum with the worlds 2nd largest collection of Van Gogh in the middle of a National Park Many people though think, once they have been there (only Belgians now about it) that Pairi Daiza is Europes best zoo

[@AB-80X]

What actually defines a "good zoo"? Size have nothing to do with it. Mind you, my wife is an animal caretaker who specializes in training of natural behaviours and rehabilitation of exotic animals, as well as developing habitat enrichment protocols. Quite a few zoos here in Europe, including those in Belgium, the Netherlands and several others, do a pretty poor job of such things. A zoo is not a good zoo because it's big or pretty, a good zoo works because the animals are properly healthy, get the correct daily enrichment and live without stereotypical behaviours etc. Copenhagen zoo is actually one of the best in the world, along with the San Diego zoo when it comes to rehabilitation and animal healthcare.

[@Dovndyr13]

@@AB-80X Yes Copenhagen was quite good 20 years ago when it maybe was the leader of behavioural enrichments. And I agree a lot of zoos inside the EU does very little except what, if an EU country, the EU law says. I know san diego zoo has been maybe the world leader in periodes for behavioural enrichments and zoopsychology. I guess one of the reasons why San Diego got the platypus since a year or 2. But there is a reason why Knuthenborg got 4 retired elephants, why Pairi Daiza got giant pandas and not antwerp zoo which after all is the national zoo like copenhagen.

When you get to the mainland (Jutland) You should check out Givskud Zoo - There you get to drive your car inside the lion enclosure and if you are lucky, as i have been on several occasions, watch the lions up REAL close. Note that the Zoo is not liable for any damage to your car! But it's rare that they scratch them. Some get peed on, but that's it :D If flowers AND zoo is a thing, you could visit Jesperhus blomsterpark - you can rent cabins right next to it. My favorites is always the parrots, if they have any.

quick question: Why are no one wearing any masks?

[@TravelinYoung]

Everyone who enters the zoo has to provide proof of a negative corona test within 72 hours. We are tested 2-3 times a week depending on what we are doing. Also, masks are not required in outdoor areas in general but we do wear them if it's particularly crowded. We always follow all health guidelines when it comes to corona safety.

[@mwtrolle]

you don't have to if it's outside in Denmark, the main part of the coronavirus is spread by droplets hanging in the air. If you are outside the droplets are dispersed fast are gives almost no added risk. Unless of cause you are sneezing someone directly into their face. But I think people are pretty good at keeping the distance here in Denmark. When it's indoors in public places people do have to wear a mask unless they are children.

Yeah, it has opened and everyone is required to be tested negative before entering. Similar to most everything else in DK now. We get tested 2 to 3 times a week, before we do anything around other people.

[@BaconDanish]

@@TravelinYoung okay. This is the way.

[@Fractal227]

Risky? what on earth are you talking about. Use your common sense and you will be absolutely fine.

[@BaconDanish]

@@Fractal227 that is so true. But we still see dumb people do dumb things. I’m glad they have the testing before you can visit.

[@mwtrolle]

@@BaconDanish I'm a Dane, I do think we are taking a to big risk in opening too much up. But places like the Zoo is not really problematic as you can require everyone to be vaccinated or have a fresh clean test. Besides that, there is an extremely low transmission of SARS-CoV-2 outside especially if people can keep the distance. This far the reopening has gone fine, probably because of the extremely high level of testing in Denmark (one of the highest in the world in relation to the population), though I do think the reopening is too fast and therefore risky, the risk here is that we might have to close more down again. But trust the government to be on top of it and do so in time so that the SARS-CoV-2 spread does not get that great that the hospitals will be under pressure.

go to giveskud zoo, the zoo is much better, and the animal is treated better

[@wncjan]

Sorry. I have to disqualify you. None of you have the penguins as favorites. Very very serious for you. 🐧🐧🐧 I try to visit zoos whereever I go, and the Riverbanks Zoo and Garden in Columbia, SC had three different species of penguins. That was a really good day 😁😁😁

[@AB-80X]

Penguins are cute raving lunatics and so awesome, especially Adelie Penguins:-)

Stop 🛑 corona pass!

Great that you had at good time, but it really is sad that we imprison innocent animals for the sake of our own amusement, it really is Speciesism in its worst form. Most people don't even understand what zoochosis is, its really sad,

[@Fetguf]

zoochosis was a thing of the past in danish zoo's.

[@StillTrustNo1]

@@Fetguf even if that was the truth, which it sadly isn’t, then it doesn’t change the fact that these many of these animals esily move over much larger distances than their prisons can emitate. And entertainment is a horrible readon for imprisonment

@@KurtFrederiksen Sad, I wrote a long answer describing why what you wrote is wrong, but it seems to have been deleted, so I'll just say that you're wrong and the "ambassador argument" is non existing.
