Zoo Tours: Africa at the Cincinnati Zoo (2008)

[@ZooTours]

*Maps, Facts & More!* Original Plan: www.zoochat.com/community/media/the-original-plans-of-africa.408693/full?d=1533417620 Original Plan #2: travel.fandom.com/wiki/Cincinnati_Zoo_and_Botanical_Garden?file=Africa_cincinnati_zoo.png Final Plan: www.zoochat.com/community/media/map-labels-of-cincinnati-zoos-africa.408692/full?d=1533417620 With so much backtracking, here’s a map that shows where we are at what times: travel.fandom.com/wiki/Cincinnati_Zoo_and_Botanical_Garden?venotify=saved&file=Africa_Where_you_are.png Base Camp Cafe and Plains Rendering: travel.fandom.com/wiki/Cincinnati_Zoo_and_Botanical_Garden?file=Africa_cincinnatizoo-900.jpg Construction Photos I took when I worked there: Before and After Lion Exhibit: www.zoochat.com/community/media/before-and-after-of-the-lion-exhibit-same-perspective.338231/full?d=1474655259 Before and After of Lion/Plains Exhibit: www.zoochat.com/community/media/2012-to-2015-before-and-after-of-africa.309249/full?d=1446407033 Before and After Plains: www.zoochat.com/community/media/before-and-after-of-the-african-plains-same-perspective.338230/full?d=1474655165 Painted Dog Exhibit: travel.fandom.com/wiki/Cincinnati_Zoo_and_Botanical_Garden?file=DSCN3654.jpg Meerkat Exhibit (Opened with Bat-eared Foxes: travel.fandom.com/wiki/Cincinnati_Zoo_and_Botanical_Garden?file=DSCN3661.jpg Plains weeks before opening: travel.fandom.com/wiki/Cincinnati_Zoo_and_Botanical_Garden?file=DSCN3658.jpg Hoofstock Outdoor Pens (Temporarily had an Okapi before all the other animals showed up): travel.fandom.com/wiki/Cincinnati_Zoo_and_Botanical_Garden?file=DSCN3656.jpg *Other facts not in the video* 1. Both the giraffe and flamingo exhibits had a grey crowned crane at one point. 2. Ruddy shelducks were once in the Plains but fell in the lion exhibit several times (no accidents) 3. The lions often successfully hunt turtles and birds. 4. There's an interpretive station where keepers bring out smaller animals to get upclose encounters with guests. I've seen: Crested porcupine, Greater flamingo, Lesser tenrec, pygmy falcon, yellow-billed hornbill, various snakes and insects 5. Original Plains lineup: Grant’s gazelle, Eiland, Lesser kudu, Guineafowl, Zebra, White-backed vulture, Ruppell’s vulture, Wildebeest 6. The painted dog exhibit was set to be half the size that it ended up being. 7. The crocodile/hippo setup was on the revised plan, the original says the hippo home would go all the way to the meerkat spot. 8. During that mentioned volunteer orientation in 2009, the speaker mentioned hippos would be behind the giraffes in the Discovery Forest parking lot.

Africa is definitely my favorite part of the Cincinnati zoo, and you certainly did it justice Zach. Hard to believe it was a parking lot at one point.

Trivia Answer: 1. Elephant House 2. Reptile and Monkey House 3. Passenger Pigeon Memorial (They had the last passenger pigeon)

[@angelicadeleon8517]

I heard of passenger pigeons before

[@averyfischer9847]

I’m wondering if Cincinnati and St Louis have a close connection. They swap a lot of animals under the SSP and the hippo enclosures are very similar

[@asatvedi]

Nice. Looking forward to visiting soon.

[@georgemartin6814]

Love this channel

[@juliocastro9563]

One of the exhibits I have on my list to see! I don’t know if I missed it in your video but another tidbit of a fact was that Africa won the AZA Exhibit Award for Significant Achievement as well :) Always look forward to your hard work!
