Tiergarten Schönbrunn | Vienna Zoo Tour

[@thianari]

It's so funny to hear the male sea lion refered to as "huge". The previous male, named Comandante was an ABSOLUTE UNIT and definitely one of the most famous residents of the Zoo. Rspecially because he liked to cannonball into the water to splash as many visitors as possible, much to everyone's delight. He was a real character and is missed dearly since his death in 2021. In comparison to Comandante, the "young guy" (Carlos) still has a lot of growing to do. But he's coming along nicely... and he's working on his cannonball-skills too.

[@ZSHzootours]

Aw man wish I'd seen the big guy!

[@ZooTours]

Always nice to see another Virtual Zoo Tour guide🙂

[@ZSHzootours]

Hello! I heard good things about you on zoochat, watched your Monterey Bay video and really enjoyed it! I have no plans to visit the US anytime soon so our channels should complement each other nicely 😁

[@frankgomezp704]

There are plans for a new aquarium compound with sharks, sting rays, moray eels and so forth!. Great video, I think this zoo should grow out,I mean to expand and reach 22 ha in surface!

[@ZSHzootours]

Yeh that sounds amazing!

[@fffooty9191]

Thanks man, zoo tours are great especially for ones who aren’t as fortunate to be able to see them ❤

[@ZSHzootours]

No problem, it's good to be able to share them!

[@spoupp668]

This is how i feel too! Im unable to travel far and being able to watch content like this brings me so much joy!!

[@Nicholasmcgadden156]

Loved the zoo tour videos, glad to see them get their own channel

[@ZSHzootours]

More to come! Thanks!

[@tyleraccardo8473]

That was an amazing tour. Cant wait to see the upcoming videos! Lmk if you ever come to New Orleans Louisiana in USA haha! We have a nice zoo and maybe I can tag along one of the tours and hangout! Keep up the great vids man!

[@ZSHzootours]

Thank you! Will do!

[@imcpoyle]

Love the new channel idea, maybe one day we’ll get you out to the San Diego safari park!

[@ZSHzootours]

Would love to!

[@spoupp668]

The greenhouse looking building in the intro is insane! The detail is brilliant 🤩

[@BearUmbra]

Thanks for sharing your tour through Tiergarten! The humboldt penguins reminded me of the Humbolts at the zoo near me which will have their newly expanded habitat open up in January.

[@ZSHzootours]

You are most welcome 😁

[@-Czacho-]

i love idea of that chanal hope it will do well (its honor to be the first comment on this channal)

[@ZSHzootours]

Aw thank you for commenting!

[@iancaudwell5333]

The Monkey House is awsome. Great inspiratiom for future builds.

[@ZSHzootours]

Hell yeh!

[@katalinelo8011]

When I was little the inside was different. The little monkeys could run around freely on ropes over the heads of the visitors. I guess they changed that because people couldn't adhere to the "don't feed, don't touch" instructions. I really like the art exhibition upstairs though, it's a great insight into the cultural relevance of monkeys throughout history.

[@luisek.8199]

A lovely tour of a lovely zoo! One of my favorite zoos I've been to - One of my personal favorites is the Waldrapp Ibis enclosure and their breeding efforts for them. They even try and teach the released ibisses migration routes with the help of gliding planes. Wonderful effort for an otherwise overlooked species. Despite me liking the zoo a lot overall, I really appreciate it that you also pointed out the less appropiate enclosures. There's a nuanced discussion to be had whether every zoo really needs all of the big name species, I think. Vienna Zoo would thrive, I dare say, even without polar bears and elephants. Looking forward to more of your tours to come. :)

[@ZSHzootours]

Thank you! Yes I touch on this more in the Leipzig Tour which will be out next week, do city zoos need Elephants? London removed theirs 20 years ago.

[@insidethezoo5912]

Great tour! I’m from America but am hoping to visit Vienna for the first time next year. This video made me even more excited!

[@ZSHzootours]

Excellent!

[@JoaoBarbosa-qj7jk]

Lovely new channel, looking for the upcoming videos. I love the fact that there actually is a little nerdy zoo community :) Keep posting, great video

[@ZSHzootours]

You were lucky to have seen the giant pandas in Schönbrunn zoo since they've now been moved back to China.

[@ZSHzootours]

Thanks hah I thought you'd like that, let's just say there's a section in the next video you're going to like even more!

[@MiltonBuilds]

The monkey house reminds me of the three houses here at the Saint Louis zoo in the US (Bird, Herp, and Ape houses) if you ever make your way across the Atlantic, it would be a good one for you to check out!

[@ZSHzootours]

Yeh I've heard of St Louis, one day!

[@mariat5350]

[@ZSHzootours]

Thanks!

[@Zepprr]

Love the hornbill and mongoose habitat ❤. Keep this zoo tour going man, great work

[@ZSHzootours]

Thanks, will do!

[@j4cklo829]

You need to visit peak wildlife park in the midlands if you haven’t already, their polar bear habitat is great, 2 brothers in 2 fairly large expansive habitats with plenty of place for them to swim. When I visited earlier this year I was lucky enough to see one of them playing in the water

[@ZSHzootours]

Thanks for the tip!

[@EthanPark-t4f]

Thanks for the great tour!😄 plz come to Seoul grand zoo someday 🐅

[@ZSHzootours]

When I went to San Diego Zoo I saw the koalas there jumping from tree to tree! It was so cool.

[@ZSHzootours]

That male sea lion is MASSIVE!! The biggest male I've seen was at the Vancouver Aquarium-a Steller Sea Lion, which I believe are larger than the California Sea Lion. Lovely tour, subscribed ❤

[@ZSHzootours]

Thanks Sparrow, these are actually South American Sea Lions, I misidentified them! Yes Stellers Sea Lions are the largest Sea Lions though.

[@Ipitythefool1988]

Im surprised you are not going to Paira Daiza in Belgium? Biggest zoo in Europe, and won 'Best zoo of europe' award multiple times

[@ZSHzootours]

My latest zoo trip took me from Austria to Germany via Czechia. I will definitely be visiting Pairi Daizi at some point though!

[@dodoxasaurus6904]

okay yes this is the best zoo, simply cause they have kept one of their original retro bear pens!!!

[@El_Rid]

Wow such a good video you have to come some day to the Zoo’s of Spain in Madrid Faunia and Madrid Zoo and give your honest opinion. I’ll be waiting jeje 🇪🇸🇪🇸

[@ZSHzootours]

I love Spain, sure I'll be back there one day!

[@okapijohn4351]

The restaurant at the Kaiser Pavillion was the best zoo restaurant where I have ever eaten!

[@ZSHzootours]

Ooh nice! I ate in one of the pubs, I will go back one day though and try the Pavilion!

[@abigailsadowy2542]

Love this. You should tour the Toledo Zoo sometime

[@ZSHzootours]

Thanks! Just checked out Toledo and it looks great, if I'm ever in Ohio haha

[@SeverinRasmussen-bh5ig]

I hope you can come to Denmark one day, too see the Copenhagen Zoo

[@ZSHzootours]

Would love to!

[@Lambo714]

A great video that put an idea into my head. After seeing the preserved but unused bear enclosure, have you thought of creating a Planet Zoo, called something like the "Resurrection Zoo"? Where you create actual exact replicas of the disused enclosures and adapt them to work well with new animals and give them a second life. After seeing the bear cage I couldn't help thinking it would make a great aviary with some work. I would love to see the bear ravine at Dudley zoo re-imagined (Giraffe maybe). Anyway just an idea but their must be so many now defunct enclosures that could be resurrected and re-purposed to provide an excellent environment if the zoo had a huge budget going spare.

[@ZSHzootours]

Thanks! I have considered that idea many times. In fact, this week's San Bernardino Zoo will be right up your alley I think 😁

[@larsiedgaming1278]

You should visit Wildlands Emmen! I Think you will really like it.

[@ZSHzootours]

It's on my list!

[@Weissleder_]

Love the tours in sitzerland thers alsow 2 zoos worth checking out zoo zürich and zoo basel

I was there around a year ago, im going to artis today.

[@ZSHzootours]

[@SEANOC0946]

8:47 Out of curiosity, what are the 2 polar bear habitats have you approved of? Great tour aswell

[@ZSHzootours]

Thanks! It was Yorkshire Wildlife Park & Highlands Wildlife Park, both in the UK. I intend to have tours of both on the channel fairly soon

[@katalinelo8011]

Every year there are modernization works to give more and more animals a better space to live in. When they opened the new elephant habitat at the end of 90s, it was the most modern and the first in the world, where in the inside they didn't need to chain the elephants. Habitat by habitat it improves every year. But they are restricted because the grounds belong to the UNESCO culture inheritance program, so they need to keep the old buildings and general layout. Like they did with the giraffes, for many years they lived somewhere else until they got their current indoor hall with gallery and solar panels on the roof so they only need the old building for the indoor stalls over night, and the giraffes can choose freely between the two outside areas and the indoor area. Same for the orangs, they had a temporary quarter (not open to the public) for the works on their new place and they really seem to enjoy it now (their old space was at the monkey house, way too small), indooi, outdoors, on hot days they even have a misty sprinkler. The ducks are everywhere 😂 also a lot of sparrows. Why not, food and safety is pretty much guaranteed 😊

[@ZSHzootours]

Thanks for the info!

[@ToverBeek-b9m]

i really liked the african house

[@ZSHzootours]

I've had so many comments about that house, it was one of the least impressive parts for me 😁 That's the magic of zoos, we all love different things

[@HenryKeable-gl1wz]

As you live in the uk you should go check out the zoo in Kent Called howlets it’s magical with their conservation records

[@ZSHzootours]

I'm aware of Howlets, I'm sure I'll go there one day! I have a few UK zoos I want to go to before that though

[@HenryKeable-gl1wz]

@@ZSHzootours ok cool ty for awnsering howlets has always been my child hood zoo it makes me feel so comfy near the gorillas as their my favourite animals ever would you record it ?

[@rexyjp1237]

5:00 that only aplies to captive siberian tigers, in the wild bengal tigers are larger.

[@fazolettofazolettini9624]

Looks pretty similar to the Berlin Zoo & Aquarium. I can't understand why Schönbrunn Zoo has so often landed first place in the best zoos in Europe. In my opinion, Chester Zoo, Leipzig Zoo, Prague Zoo, Pairi Daiza and Zurich Zoo are much more interesting, informative and comprehensive in their depiction of various geo-zones and animal worlds. This zoo thrives on its old baroque architecture. It's nice to look at, but doesn't offer enough space for the welfare of the bigger animals (elephants, polar bears, giraffes etc.).

[@ZSHzootours]

It's the oldest zoo in the world and set in the grounds of a palace - that does a lot of heavy lifting! I think for, especially tourists who may not be animal welfare experts, it's beautiful; it's got all the big ticket animals in habitats where you can see them properly and it's in the middle of a beautiful garden in a beautiful city. It's not the best in Europe but it is unique and I really enjoyed it.

[@d.s.mokrys_art]

Please come visit Bratislava ZOO ❤ in Slovakia.

Those are South American sea lions. The males are chonkier than Cali sea lions.

[@ZSHzootours]

Yeh that's been pointed out, my mistake!

[@ChloE-go9se]

The penguin habitat looks bigger than the polar bear habitat 😭

[@ZSHzootours]

The Polar Bear habitat is probably 3 times the size of the Penguins I would guess? Still not big enough for my tastes though

[@AllMighty_Toast]

I was in that same zoo ten years ago, didnt change a bit
