Top Moments Of Cuteness And Rascality At The Oregon Zoo

Presenting the top rascals of 2020: honoring their excellence and innovation in rascality.

[@mandyarroyo7046]

I love that there is no sound other than that of the animals. Thank you

[@eveolson2127]

Yes, I appreciated the lack of cheesy music

[@susannabonke8552]

Right. Too much stupid sound everywhere else

[@amyfisher6380]

I agree. I’m always annoyed when I go to watch animal videos and there’s syrupy music playing.

[@DinoHF79]

That was great. I'm grinning from ear to ear.😁

[@zetazeta1422]

So true!

[@kathleenmcgovern8669]

Who knew a bag of ice cubes could bring so much joy?

[@paulashields2675]

Here's to mischief and rascality

[@hallodrie69]

They keep my beer cold in summer ^^

[@darthslackus499]

You see it everyday at soda fountains like McDonald's. You can see the joy of American as they filled their large paper cups 3/4 full with ice-cubes and 1/4 soda.

[@bobbyz2886]

You can go to any one corner of my city and find a crackhead that says the same thing a bag of ice makes everything better

[@davidnierzwick2775]

I love how the animals aren't confined to "their space" and they get to roam around the zoo with their human buddies 👍😃

[@pawsfurGod]

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@anthonyyang2738]

i've never been to the oregon zoo and it looks like an amazing zoo, but a lot of zoos are allowing animals to roam around the zoo during quarantine when the zoos were closed. again, i'm not discounting oregon zoo since it's a great zoo but you shouldn't discount other zoos for doing it too

[@davidnierzwick2775]

[@alkasoli4002]

Still that is not their natural habitat

[@vashonaudubon2584]

It must feel SO amazing for an elephant to be essentially weightless under water. Also, just wonderful to watch all these critters just enjoying the moment with their keepers cheering them on. :)

[@claradepascalis2177]

oh how i wish this video could go on for ever!

[@trevisrobotie924]

concordo! wish it would go on 4ever and a day! lol. one could almost read the expression of happines(and gratitude to their kidnappers)on these guys' faces

[@claradepascalis2177]

@@trevisrobotie924 LOL! I forgot I posted this comment! happy to hear you "concordi" with me :)! and yes, they have been stolen from their natural habitat, but you know what? In this crazy World (while being totally against conventional zoos and anything even remotely related to meddling with what nature intended), I still appreciate places like this that seem to really care for these souls while sparing them a life of constant struggle to survive! Wish I could live in Oregon cause it sounds like really fun but I'm unfortunately stuck in Italy.

[@p52893]

It does in my mind.

The Oregon Zoo is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen! A high level of love and care for the animals

[@annm4833]

This could be an hour long and I'd watch the whole thing. And tickling a bird's belly! That's crazy cute! Thank you 🤗❤️❤️

[@marcrow9114]

The birds belly tickle was the biggest surprise of this video. All of it was awesome. But that bird putting up its legs in enjoyment lol... Priceless

[@nanettewhite3093]

Any one know what kind of bird that was, enjoying the belly rub? Seeing elephants swim was a wonderful site to see. It's amazing to me they can float. All the animals were looking happy and well cared for. Their habitats looked so lush and clean. The animals with orange brown fur, ringed tails were so cute with their masked faces.

[@vashonaudubon2584]

@@nanettewhite3093 The bird is a Hornbill... and the masked cuties are red pandas. Anyway, we are SO with you on tickling the Hornbill, what a treat!

[@robertmchugh4639]

I agree, it's joyful to watch. It's uplifting.

[@tamo9520]

I completely agree with you! And I wish it was an hour long! Or more!

[@yvettenewell7520]

The "Rascality" and Cuteness are absolutely priceless.

[@CasperLCat]

They seem to have more space than most zoos. That whole lake for the elephants was impressive. Good job Oregon Zoo !

[@raviamodernepic]

The bird in the aquarium is my favorite because both those animals look very intrigued 😂

[@queenla]

They seem so relaxed and a lot more playful without the crowd of people.

[@plutooliver686]

What an amazing experience for the care takers.these animals are a gift to all of us💚🙏🏼💚

[@skyrocketcoast219]

Those delightful urban beavers are just the best to watch.. meandering through the office corridors! All the animals UK n this video are a delight to see. Thank you to every one at Oregon Zoo for taking such good care of all!

[@erkheth]

You put other so called zoos to shame, just by respecting and caring about the animals. Thankyou for showing us what compassion can do to make a difference ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@Powerranger-le4up]

That’s partly because they really work hard for their animals. AZA accreditation is very difficult to achieve and zoos like this one have to go well beyond just the usual.

[@Helen3691]

Thank you zookeepers for taking care of these precious creatures. I grew up in Portland and the zoo has come a very very long way from what it was 50 years ago. I don’t even want to remember what I saw. I’m so glad that we’ve learned how to better share our world with these animals and enrich their lives with more natural habitat and “field trips” to other habitats. 💕💕

[@90skid97]

Nice to see how playful and interested they are, seems like they are in great care. The way the animals just trotted along outside their normal enclosure showed how much they trust the keepers and feels at home

[@murraycallahan3716]

Did the bear ever manage to get out of the tub?

[@cottoncandyfriends8933]

Yes Murray, I saw him on another clip, lol. He got out but not b4 playing with his toes for quite a while! LOL. It was so cute! 🤣🤣🤣 Candy

It would be hard to decide on the cutest and the biggest rascal. I continue to look forward to your videos as one of my favorite channels. It helps me feel connected to my home state Oregon.

[@AtyPical1313]

Oregon Zoo videos were one of the best things I can think of in 2020! Please keep posting them as they have made me smile so many times during this past year!

[@pamtx3394]

What a cute compilation of videos. I started watching these during the shutdown. Thank you for the smiles!

[@azinegg]

The little penguins watching the otters made me laugh out load, thankyou for a heartwarming delightful posting oregan zoo. I’m in!

[@GRosa250]

The elephants look so happy being in the water and floating. I guess that’s how whales came to be, this water is great, let’s never get out again.

[@MarthaRoseMoore415]

Imagine the feeling of buoyancy when you actually come in at the same weight as a truck.

[@Truffle85]

Instant party: otters and ice, don't bother to stir. Love the walks around the zoo; the porcupines and penguins always make me laugh. I never realized how big ground hornbills are- I think that guy's as big as my three-year-old niece!

[@seasonsofphilly1993]

You all provide such wonderful engagement for the animals in your charge. Maple and Filbert are my favorites, and the porcupine.

Animals are much more interesting and more beautiful than any humans I've met so far

[@MiDo-by8ib]

Then you obviously don't have kids..

[@Maialeen]

@MiDo-by8ib Your children aren't objectively interesting or special. Can you just let someone enjoy something without bringing up your offspring. A stranger not finding joy in kids or thinking that animals are more interesting to observe, takes away nothing from you. You can just let them have their own feelings.

[@davidec.4021]

What a beautiful place this must be. It is the first time a zoo feels to me like a beautiful place. Thank you for preserving these animals and teach to people about them
