Zoo Miami Highlights | Part 1 of 2

4-5-19
Although I haven't been to many zoos (relative to most zoo enthusiasts I know), Zoo Miami nonetheless ranks among my most favorite. Most of its exhibits may have looked fairly similar, but they were aesthetically-pleasing, and - as I touched on in the description for my previous videos - being able to see these animals at eye-level was a very interesting experience. I was also able to see some species for the first time, such as the Pygmy Hippo, the Giant Eland (both shown here), as well as Giant Otters (didn't get great videos of them, sadly) the Arabian Oryx and the Koala (which you will see in Part 2).
Zoo Miami's layout made it difficult to separate my videos by theme; the exhibits are, for the most part, all strewn about along, winding trails, rather than individual areas (like at the Bronx Zoo). As a result, I've just compiled my clips into these two hodge-podge videos. Enjoy!
Species (in order of appearance):
- Bornean Orangutan
- Pygmy Hippopotamus
- Common Chimpanzee
- Western Lowland Gorilla

- [I can't for the life of me remember what this bird with the high-pitched, ascending call is called! I thought it was some kind of francolin or quail???]

- Grevy's Zebra
- Black Duiker
- Okapi
