Roo Valley Walk-through - Cincinnati Zoo

[@lilligilliam1999]

The Cincinnati zoo was a big part of my early childhood, and now that we finally moved back it's nice to visit the place I grew up in ♥️

[@NancyWSullivan]

This is so awesome! I am so proud to be a member of this Zoo which is more than world-class in terms of the lives it is providing animals and its sustainability features. Bravo!!!

[@iandershem2975]

I just moved here to Cincinnati and I love zoos! I can't wait to see it when it is done!

[@kele1264]

Great video. Awesome sustainable building going on. Improved habitats, so good for the animals. Well done!

[@maryv5815]

I used to see little blue penguins all the time growing up in New Zealand. They'e very personable birds, and I've always loved them. I'm glad they're getting treated well over in the states!

[@JAGzilla-ur3lh]

I've never been to the Cincinnati Zoo, but this video just made visiting it a priority next time I'm in Ohio. You guys clearly have your act together, and your commitment to providing high quality of life for the animals, a very impressive degree of sustainability, and maximum accessibility and safety for guests is great to see.

[@abinatorholmes5030]

What a magnificent habitat I just love it I can’t wait to come to see the habitat keep up the great work guys!!! Our new members of the family the kangaroos and penguins are gonna love this! Please do a video where the penguins walk all the way from their old habitat to the new one and I would like to see their reaction when they go there to see it for the first time and everybody can walk with them and you guys can have a big giant group photo to put it at the roo shop for everybody to see!

Ricky!!! Such a good keeper 🤍 made my zoo academy lab at bird house so fun

[@kbschauf2695]

I can’t wait to visit! We are so lucky to have a world class zoo right here in our hometown. We’ll be there soon💖

Awww sweet Rico what a beautiful, handsome Lil' banana chip munchies, heart melter porcupine.😊 ❤

[@priscillawatson7049]

I wish I could get out for a wee hols! good luck with your lovely new arrangements. I would love to go and visit those darling little penguins! thanks for sharing all this information

[@fauziahain1532]

It's my dream to go to your zoo..ever since I fell in love with Fiona....its very interesting and knowledgeable to learn the making planning and just about everything to build a zoo...i love animals very much...greetings all the way from Singapore. ...

[@ZekeThePlumber86]

Me and my son went yesterday. We went to go see the kangaroos. I never dreamed we'd be inside an enclosure with them! It was amazing!

[@alextepe4309]

The zoo has benefitted greatly from the oversight of Thane Maynard, and the best is yet to come.

[@eviehankins8223]

This is awesome:) I love the sustainability aspects and the upgrades for these animals! I'm in Cbus but I hope I can come visit soon!

[@bigdaddyj452]

This look great. I can't wait to visit

[@YT-tx9ov]

Was disappointed we couldn't pet them but still an amazing exhibit ! I now love kangaroos

[@juliamartinez3775]

Makes me wish I lived in Cincinnati 😍

[@juliepinson8901]

LOVE THE ZOO

[@davidpumpkinsjr.5108]

I met Thane Maynard a few years ago. He's as nice as he is tall.

[@juliehoffman6292]

Hi Thane! Love the zoo,I’ve visited many times while in town. I have a question about the elephants. Do the babies eat dung from their mother like I’ve seen African elephants do? Thank you.

Cincinnati Zoo >

[@joevollman]

I like that we got roos in Cincy and its a nice habitat, but this is the same as the Columbus Zoo ...no petting and no feeding...just walk along a path?...sucks. These are my favorite animal. So, l will make it worth my while to still go to KY Down Under where you can pet and feed the roos.🦘 * At the 5:40 mark ya got roo poo lol ...they cut away real quick 😆

[@0mmetaphobia]

Cool!

[@womanofsubstance8735]

Do you release live fish and squid into their pools so they can actually do what they do when they are swimming in the wild?

[@shadechaser2704]

Yes, they do give them live prey to chase, though not daily. They have to make sure the penguins get all they need and making them rely only on live prey would mean some would get to eat a larger share and others would suffer.

[@catalystpets5777]

I miss my zoo! I’m in Chicago now. 😭

[@kevinmiller4457]

You have Brookfield and Lincoln park

[@catalystpets5777]

Kevin Miller they are not as good. Not even close!

[@kevinmiller4457]

@@catalystpets5777 true but Brookfield puts up a fight can you sub to my channel you don’t have to tho

[@oranjmusemeyer968]

It is a beautiful exhibit area It's a shame you don't have other Australian animals in the collection.

[@melissamiller7421]

it should so many people dont get as angry because this is awful this exbit used to display some of the world aresrt creqtaur

[@ajwwtsl3848]

8:25 what kind of ducks do the penguins live with at roo valley

[@kerrid.979]

Some of the penguins weren't penguins! Do they live at the zoo, or were they wild ducks that stopped for a swim?

[@ajwwtsl3848]

yay i saw them to what kind of ducks are they

[@shadechaser2704]

It's 3 pairs of ducks brought in to keep the penguins company. Wild ducks cannot get in with the Little Blues. New Zealand Scaup, Australian Wood Duck, and Freckled Duck are the species.

[@samanthamoore7916]

My 7yr old son wants to know, "Do the kangaroos fight, or are they nice?"

[@joevollman]

Go to KY Down Under if you can drive down near Bowling Green KY. You can pet and feed them and they're nice down there. No fighting, just playfulness. I've been 3x. It is a small zoo though.

[@melaniewiedeman4812]

Will the elephants be african elephants? this is so nice!!

[@kevinmiller4457]

No Asian and Sumatran elephants

[@alextepe4309]

Yes. Sabu, the zoo’s male elephant, is a Sumatran elephant, and arguably the most genetically valuable elephant in the country.

[@kevinmiller4457]

Alex tepe true and sometimes they put her with the female but it never turns out good she can’t get pregant the Cincinnati zoo is named the sexiest zoo in America but not for elephants

[@alextepe4309]

Kevin Miller true, the last elephant birth was in 1998, and that calf, named Ganesh, has sadly since passed away. I know that it will take a few years, but if the Cincinnati zoo follows through on its master plan of turning its outdated elephant yard into a world class elephant habitat, it will be more suitable for breeding pairs. The zoo has been an important part of my childhood, and I hope my three young children will appreciate it as much as I do.

[@kevinmiller4457]

Alex tepe how do you feel about roo valley

[@thepatrioticbrothersdivegr4743]

What about the rhino reserve update

[@skulls16]

It’s roo valley is open

[@danielhoward6968]

[@mikesyck2624]

The zoo needs an app

[@mikesyck2624]

What about the Bald Eagles what going on with them

[@hkkhgffh3613]

Do you feel intimidated by the Ph.d. of your director colleague from Disney's Animal Kingdom?

[@bustnbieber1128]

"not rio".

[@kevinmiller4457]

What about those awful bear grottos

[@kevinmiller4457]

Since you guys know this is a horrible marketing decision you should try to add Tasmanian devil’s to make it not as much as a bust and wombats and kolas

[@eviehankins8223]

Why is this a bad marketing decision? This is amazing.

[@kevinmiller4457]

Evie Hankins no a overused concept for rare species they pad ducks needed to go but the last thing it should have been is a kangaroo exibit

[@shadechaser2704]

Koalas are crazy expensive to keep fed. That would have been a poor financial decision if you're judging by that. It can cost over $1 million to feed koalas, compared to the CZBG most expensive animals to feed now being the manatees. Even when they had 4 manatees to keep fed it was $185,000/per year. That is way, way less than just keeping one single koala.
