Zoo Tours: The Lied Jungle | Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo (PART ONE)

[@ZooTours]

*The Lied Jungle is or was considered one of the world's greatest exhibits, where does it rank on your favorites list?*

[@theanimalshow6538]

It’s definitely the top one

[@alextepe4309]

In your opinion, Is it better than tropic world at the brookfield zoo?

[@Wildman-lc3ur]

Yep I would consider it on the top list

[@graphite2786]

I haven't been to Henry Doorly but one thing I have noticed in nearly every zoo tour I've seen of the place is how small some of the exhibits are. They seem to tuck in tiny aviaries and enclosures everywhere. Some of the exhibits seem more focused on displaying the animals for effect, more so than the animals wefare. I didn't like that tapir exhibit one bit! That cave cage for a clouded leopard was terrible, I'm glad there's only an owl in there now. I've seen some other examples in the desert dome too.

[@FromLAtoFUNland]

I think this exhibit will be on my list. I always liked these "houses". The only thing, it seemed to me that tapirs and hippos do not have enough land. Perhaps it will stand somewhere in the 14th place.

[@PadreWoodrow]

When I was 9 I waited several hours to see the Lied Jungle on opening day. It totally blew my mind. Since the Jungle was built the zoo has constructed several mega projects and completely transformed itself. There is very little from that era still remaining. Even though it is pushing 30, The Lied Jungle is still an amazing experience and my favorite zoo exhibit.

[@squiddy8151]

Thank you so much for still uploading during these times. Here in the UK we’re still locked down but I’m back to school next week, zoos don’t reopen until after Easter and your videos really do help me feel as though I’m seeing the animals for myself, and I don’t know how you do it but it’s wonderful. Thank you.

[@christopherkendrex8075]

if you ever have the chance you have to come here! I grew up across the street and worked there for years! thus is so much more than a zoo! it's a paradise and they do so much in terms of education and rehabilitation! I hope things are going well for you 🙏

[@christopherkendrex8075]

also the bottom story I'd the best part!

[@DinoMike2986]

Along with the desert dome, scott aquarium and nocturnal kingdom the lied jungle is always my favorite at henry doorly

[@derpdeherp7121]

As an Omaha resident, I am inordinately proud of our zoo, at it is easily my second favorite place in the world after my own home. On a more comedic note, I think I vaguely remember getting pooped on by a bat on the lower level when I was much, much younger. On a final note, really looking forward to seeing more of it now that everything is opening back up.

[@liambuchanan6342]

Is the new orangutan exhibit open yet? I interned for the zoo last summer and am looking to again this summer

[@joshuaholke]

6:32 In case you haven't already been told, this used to be where they had a Baird's Tapir. I hadn't visited the Lied Jungle recently enough to know that they had to switch it out for the time being, interesting news to me.

[@amwfan88]

I've been to the Lied Jungle twice and both times I loved it! Sure, it's not perfect but it's still a phenomenal exhibit and probably my favorite part of the Henry Doorly Zoo.

[@MrKenzinton]

Has always been my favorite exhibit since I was a kid. Every single time we enter the building I forget I’m even in a zoo let alone the Midwest

[@ZoosTravelers]

Great Job! I would say this is my 10th favorite on my list.

[@oliverbrunninge]

I've never been to the US but I have been to the world's largest indoor rainforest. The "Gondwanaland" in Leipzig, Germany. It was amazing and is probably my favourite exhibit that I've been to

[@graphite2786]

OMG yes! I haven't been to any USA zoos but my god, the German and Dutch zoos rock! The tropic exhibit at Emmen Wildlands has Asian elephants in it, I think it is four times the size of the lied jungle. I really love this channel though, and hopefully when the pandemic is under control, we can see some tours of the European zoos. I'd gladly donate to a Go fund me to send him off to document Leipzig, Zurich, Basle, Frankfurt etc. I reckon he'd do the best job! Plus he'd get to see animals like pangolin, pygmy anteater, yapok, coconut crabs, birds of paradise, giant armadillo, otter shrew, aye-aye, brown hyena and other amazing creatures that are rare or absent from the US zoos.

[@oliverbrunninge]

@@graphite2786 Seems unlikely he would travel to Europe but I agree. I haven't been to any zoos in the Netherlands but what I have seen has been great

[@graphite2786]

@@oliverbrunninge Yes there are still many zoos in the USA that he hasn't covered, so they will of course have priority. But if this channel really takes off and starts making big dollars....who knows what could happen?

[@lindarevere5846]

THHANKS FOR YOUR CARE OF SHOWING ANIMALS EVEN IF NOT THERE AT THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Dylan-Hooton]

Hi, would you be interested in going to Cretaceous Park (made by SciiFii) if it existed? Just curious.

[@Blind_Blind_Blind]

I remember when this exhibit opened! I had so much fun going to this zoo.

[@albatross4920]

You uploaded just in time for lunch 😋✌

[@soundblast2009]

This is the reason i always make sure my settings are at 1080p60 whenever i open up one of your videos

[@noahm398]

I can't wait to see this someday!!

[@LonghornInOmaha]

Great video. Absolutely nailed it with the tapir part... they've needed more land to move about on for years. Glad to see the upper part of their enclosure is available to them now.

[@codynabseth8637]

Can’t wait to see part 2! This exhibit is absolutely amazing, hoping to go there one day

[@AubreyÆsohn]

I have a very fond memory of this attraction. Including a ring tailed lemur that nearly jumped onto my shoulder when i was a little kid. My girl scout troop was part of the first group in the jungle, way back when. 😊

[@NyhnaLaw]

Living here and having a yearly pass is literally the best thing ever!!!!!

[@the_gaming_hyena24]

Yay! My zoo again!

[@lesliechu8879]

Kowabunga! Been there 3 times back then! Wish they add binturongs in it! And did you know the Lied Jungle once have Visayan Warty Pigs to be precise? But when are you going to upload Part 2? Also, you & your girlfriend should try visiting the Woodland Park Zoo soon! Jumping Jaxartosaurus!🐒

[@ZooTours]

I will record the lower level as soon as possible when they reopen it.

[@Josh2010.]

Absolutely love it.

[@LanceStrydom]

Hi zach when will part 2 come up oh and going to the henry doorly zoo will by on my bucket list

[@ZooTours]

Since the second floor finally opened after 3 years, I would like to say I'll make my return early next year.

[@Andrew-wq3me]

This place is amazing, but Singapore Zoo still has my heart. Coming in the morning and hearing the Siamangs holler and move around in the large trees of their cage less exhibit, seeing the orangutans swing above you, and large flying foxes soaring above your head, it’s truly amazing.

[@thegreatgoldfilms6311]

I think this exhibit was the first time I ever saw a pygmy hippo in person

[@Rainkit]

Wow this building is amazing. It reminds my of the St Louis botanical gardens but with a lot more animals.

[@Wildman-lc3ur]

I visited the lied jungle one year ago and it was amazing it actually felt like I was in a rainforest it was a nice way to spend my spring break before the pandemic

[@dinomation]

This area is breathtaking I really hope to visit there soon.

[@macihoward6936]

I’m going here in three weeks and I’m so excited this account is keeping me said before we go though.

[@mrmorganmusic]

When will you do part two of the lied jungle? Why did the bearcat become a name.

[@chasemurraychristopherdola7108]

Just saying but I am so looking forward to this coming Sunday and the reason is because I am going to be going to Omaha and me and my grandpa are planning to go to the zoo

[@albatross4920]

3:34 is there any issue with letting the bats breed like rabbits?

[@ZooTours]

?

[@dawn3898]

I know it’s not really a zoo, but you could visit the ox ranch in Texas. I have heard some great stories about that place.

[@Pinkkermit17]

I remember when this first got built, you had to get a pass to get in set for a certain time frame. There is such a difference between then and now with all the tree’s plants, and animals being added and growing. it is a bit humid in there but I never seem to mind even on a hot day.

[@theblueslushy8133]

I was there this summer and I think they said that the bottom is closed due to covid beacuse if someone has covid in the building they are Afraid that one of the fruit bats can get it and spread it around to other people and other animals so it most likely won’t open back up until covid goes away.
