Zoo Tours: NEW! Wildlife Explorers Basecamp | San Diego Zoo

[@ZooTours]

*Even though I've done this a couple of times in the past, someone had a wonderful suggestion that I create some sort of map of the showcased attraction. That way it's easier to give a sense of direction of where we and where the habitats are. So the link below is a simple guide that shows what order I explored and filmed the Wildlife Explorers Basecamp:* *Map: **drive.google.com/file/d/1WG75p0j8Frfu8cbe46lPFdM6hMNFEmqK/view?usp=sharing* *Before you ask! Yes, this is a re-upload. Though I later won the dispute (of course), I was hit with a copyright warning after using a royalty free song... Regardless, there was an identification error that needed to be correct anyways. So thank you to both returning and new viewers, and I hope you enjoyed the longest tour on the channel!*

[@kharitheblueanteater9592]

What was the identification error?

[@owenrutherford3575]

Well done on the dispute, and seeing this map is very helpful for understanding the layout of the area

[@ZooTours]

Turns out that Paradise Tanager in the first version was in fact a Blue necked tanager.

[@animalplushworld100]

My favorite attraction is the Elephant odysea but i can't wait to see the chirdern basecamp

[@Buycefam43882]

An you take us to the tasmanian devil part?

[@Echobeluga]

I loved that West African lungfish so much too! Thank you for choosing to feature Wildlife Explorers Base Camp!

This is definitely a one of a kind Children’s Zoo!

[@natureguyx46presents7]

I have to say that I was really impressed with this children's zoo. It's wild animals and not farm animals. It connects kids with wildlife which is amazing.

[@docsavage8640]

It's the San Diego Zoo. We have the best zoo in the world. Did you really think the children's section would be rabbits and goats? 😆

[@natureguyx46presents7]

@@docsavage8640 Sometimes that is all the children's zoo is, is farm animals.

[@ckm5702]

That leaf cutter ant island is an actual game changer that really surprised me but this is San Diego we're talking about

[@RainbowBoo42]

That open air leaf cutter ant exhibit is really cool

[@tarapelcher3102]

2:24 i❤ zoos. That’s the zoo that’s on my bucket list

[@bkfireshark]

No question, my favorite attraction is the Lost Forest. Sometimes, I don't even need to see the animals. Just find a bench and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature

[@wildandmagicalworldofflori8032]

Way to start off the year with a tour at San Diego Zoo! I wasn't expecting this tour to be so big, with so many animals to see and learn about. I'm definitely going to have to check this out when I visit next year!

I love this channel so much I don't live in America so I can't see these awesome zoos irl But thanks to this channel I still get a cool experience

[@lesliechu8879]

Omg! So cool! Yet, my favorite exhibit is the Elephant Odyssey exhibit, which they made a computer game of it! And plus, an Asian Palm Civet should be in the Basecamp in a 3rd empty cage next to the binturong & the caracal of course! So, try visiting the San Diego Zoo Safari Park soon, along with the Woodland Park Zoo, Oakland Zoo, San Francisco Zoo, Sacramento Zoo, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Disney's Animal Kingdom, & Bearizona! Also, 5 zoo trivia questions for you & your girlfriend, Zak.... 1) What exhibit did the Monterey Bay Aquarium once had with freshwater otters? 2) What animal did the San Francisco Zoo once have in their Puente Al Sur exhibit? 3) How would you rate SeaWorld San Diego's new Sea Turtle Trek attraction? 4) What animal did the San Francisco Zoo once bred back in 2000-2008 before the new Chacoan Peccaries moved in? 5) What 2 animals did the Oakland Zoo once had before 14 to 23 years ago?

[@coasterzigner]

I'm SO Glad I have the privilege of living close enough to the SDZoo to really experience it time and time again. It truly is a superb zoo! That question is so difficult to answer! I think my favorite thing about the zoo is the architecture around it with Balboa Park, actually! It's very inspiring! However, if I had to choose a habitat or experience within the zoo itself, I think I'd choose maybe the Orangutans or the Sun Bear trail for how interactive the Orangutans were to me last time and I love a Sun Bear! But again, the Aviaries, the Flamingoes even, the Maned wolf, the Koalas.... there's really just too many great encounters to experience at the zoo. I could really narrow it down to what I DO NOT want to experience: the nope ropes. NOPE, no sneks. Nope!

The San Diego zoo just keeps getting better and better. All we need is for them to fix up the Urban Jungle.

Great video Zach! I gotta say I really enjoyed this longer video! Please do make more!

[@OldCountry]

Were those info boards in the Cool Critters building touch screen or interactive? They look similar to Fort Worth's Mola information screens which you can swipe and interact with. Either way I'm in love with the stream led lights!

[@nickyteske407]

squirrel monkeys are my favorite kind of monkey since i bought a plushie of one in a zoo gift shop they look so cute

[@migueljose427]

My Favorite Attraction Is The Bat Enclosure

[@CopperheadCustoms]

Love the content mate but can you please show more of the reptile habitats? You do a deep look at the big stuff like monkeys, big cats and birds and then skim over the reptiles super fast even though at the glimpse that we get the enclosures look amazing.

[@TheGamingTigerKing]

For the question of the episode that’s a tricky one, I’ve only been to San Diego Twice but really my favorite area is the Lost Forest mainly because it feels like your in a actual Jungle.

[@SirKolass]

12:37 This reminds me of Jurassic World haha

[@thomaskang9382]

Do the urban jungle Edit: the empty exhibit next to the caracal contains a tamandua

[@MunchyMakesStuff]

I find it strange most zoos have color morphs of axos instead of their natural colors. I love my 2 natural babies. Mudkip n Swampert are adorable.

[@amemestar6389]

Can you go look at some of our zoos in Australia please Zachary? The welfare of the animals here are better than the USA.

Nope, they are in the Carnivora family - they eat birds and rodents and dead animals. Red pandas are considered carnivores too despite their diet.
