A zoo just had twin elephants .... I thought my mother had said it was Toledo Zoo... but I guess she said thailand...and I misheard her. Oh Toledo Zoo had Bali Myna birds... pretty rare @the time... Pandas I've seen pandas in Toledo and San Diego zoo both. And I've seen the Wyoming toads. Had Golden lion tameron @ detroit zoo in the 80's ...they were super rare

[@DereksZooVideos0118]

Watching this brought back memories of my visit about 12 years ago. A great reminder that I definitely need to get back there someday. The rarest animal I've seen would probably be the Bear Cuscus at Memphis. The only one on display in the Western Hemisphere I believe.

[@rhino932toon]

This is such an amazing African theme section for a Zoo! Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to capture, edit and show this to us all! I would have to say the rarest animal I've seen is a sloth bear

[@michaelmisanik9787]

Awesome Video. And as for the rarest zoo animal I have ever seen I would say Red Wolves and Sloth Bears. I have only see both species once out of some 30 plus zoos I have been to across the American West and Midwest.

[@zachjohnson9391]

Raccoon Dog for me

[@Kristinkoppes686]

For me the giant panda at the Smithsonian zoo and platypus in San Diego

[@amandashaw1977]

platypus. shoebill. slender loris. cloud rat. potto. gaur. giant panda are some of the rarest we have seen

[@jesss7930]

My rarest was a trio of leopard seals, and I was extremely lucky to work with them and hear them sing! (They love gelatin ice blocks!)

[@alextepe4309]

The rarest Animal that I have ever seen would definitely be the Sumatran Rhino at my hometown zoo in Cincinnati. After the death of the other one, I guess the zoo felt that the remaining one would be better off in his natural habitat. Yes, I miss Harapan, but it was probably all for the best.

[@ZooTours]

When I worked there, I was told they brought Harapan and Suci back together to breed as a last ditch effort.

[@carolynmu9334]

Yeah, I always wanted to go to the Cincinnati zoo to see the Sumatran rhinos. When I finally went, they were gone.

[@silverfishy7320]

Great Video! Rarest Zoo animal I’ve ever seen is probably the Coroboree frog, which is my country’s rarest frog (Australia), with less than 50 left in the wild

[@SamGlife]

I have to say, your channel is truly genius, as a zoo/ animal lover I’ve binged your tours all week! Keep it up 😝👍🏻

[@zoolover4669]

Very nice video. I think the rarest zoo animal I have seen is the red shanked douc langur.

[@AikenAdventures]

Your thumbnails are amazing

[@kylemccollum3996]

Zoo Tours always delivers top notch content. Keep up the awesome work.

[@diezoowelt]

I didn't know much about this zoo, but if I ever get to Tampa, I'll surely will visit!

[@zanzillavids7759]

Your videos give me inspiration for my planet zoo builds

[@Zombie9Slayer]

Colchester Zoo houses Western Blue Duiker and I was so happy to photograph them for my portfolio on my visit back in November. ZSL London Zoo houses 1 female Red Forest Duiker mixed with their Okapi. She has been at the zoo for 8 years and she is always a delight to see.

[@maggiethielen4749]

Javan gibbons at the Greensboro Science Center in NC! I wasn’t even aware about just how rare they were until I saw all the other gibbons that zoos mainly have. Growing up seeing those guys all the time makes me feel so special and happy that I’ve been able to meet such rare and amazing animals!

[@michaelvillarreal1225]

Nice video! I was at ZooTampa yesterday. I forgot that there was a camel area between the Rhinos and what is now home to African Painted Dogs

[@simonj3413]

Earlier this year, I was happy to see my first platypi, and the only ones outside Australia, at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

[@ZooTours]

Just literally saw it. Quite disappointing as everyone is only allowed to view it for 30 seconds.

[@simonj3413]

@@ZooTours agreed. I was very lucky to get a single clip on my phone with a platypus silhouette in the frame for about two seconds, before it was time for me to move.

[@ZooTours]

Fingers crossed that people will disperse by the end of the day. Something tells me it's like San Diefo with their former pandas - only single file, and very limited time.

[@lvk9657]

I don't know if they're the absolute rarest I've ever seen, but Pittsburgh keeps Northern Elephant Seals and behind the scenes keeps White-Bellied Tree Pangolins

[@КарасьФортнайтер-о7з]

Awesome video and rarest animal I ever seen is spix’s macaw at pairi daiza

[@natureguyx46presents7]

Any zoo that houses African Painted Dogs is one of my favorites.

[@pandaboi3383]

The most rarest animal I’ve seen was the Javan Green Magpie at Chester zoo ❤

[@RaulHerrera-f2q]

The rarest animal I’ve ever seen was the black panther, white tiger, and Amur leopard at the Zoological Wildlife Foundation here in Florida. Most beautiful big cats I’ve ever seen.

[@Rafael-tc3eu]

The rarest zoo animal i’ve ever seen, is probably: a bear cuscus and the Spix’s macaw. Oh! And where did i see them? Well, i saw them in Pairi Daiza in Bruglette Belgium, where i live.

[@shimonofbirdsandsupermariofan]

Fun fact: I used to go to zoo tampa back in July 2021

[@theanimalshow6538]

I would have to say the rarest species I’ve seen is the przewalski’s horse. I live in Ontario, Canada, and we don’t have many zoos in my area, but I have seen some in the Toronto zoo

[@landohundoamigo5122]

Probably the rarest zoo animal I've ever seen is the yapok at the Dallas World Aquarium.

[@agustin091]

Amazing Tour! I Love the okapi! Great video!

[@anthonycaduc4602]

The rarest animal I have seen in a zoo is not a very impressive animal but it is the Neurergus kaiseri, it is part of the list of the 100 most endangered species of living beings in the world 😱 I watch you from France 🇨🇵 and you have incredible zoos in the USA 🤩 My dream is to go around the world of zoos, starting with the USA 👊

[@mr.tonym.3968]

1:21 Kihansi spray toad is the rarest zoo animal that I've seen

[@alexallen9640]

Nice tour. I think the rarest animal I've seen would be the Philippine Crocodile, and to answer this week's question is the Marabou Stork. 🙂👍

[@TheGamingTigerKing]

Well because I’ve been to 15 zoos in America a lot of them had some rare gems plus I haven’t any of these other animals in any other zoo yet. Columbus-African Leopards, Feather-Tailed Glider, Alaskan Moose, Golden-Mantled Flying Fox, Asian Water Monitor. Cincinnati-Sumatran Rhino-before they went back to Sumatra, Aardwolf, Kea Parrot, Sumatran Elephant and a whole lot in San Diego Zoo and Safari Park

[@Geminifan20]

Rarest animal I've seen is the Golden Bellied Mangabeys and Gharial at the Cleveland zoo

[@slaughterhater]

I’ve never been to Zoo Tampa but my guess is that the exhibit next to the shoebills used to house secretary birds!

[@freddurocher6077]

Hmmmm rarest animal. It's either the Khsani spray toad or the ring tailed mongoose, I saw them both at the Bronx zoo. Also amazing tour, as always. Hopefully I'll one day go there especially to see their Shoebills.

[@redpandareggie3642]

The rarest animal I ever saw in a zoo has definitely got to be an Eastern Long-Beaked Echidna of Papua New Guinea at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia.

[@MarcoAnguloistheGOAT]

I don’t remember them, because I was a in elementary school when they left but I have seen the Sumatran Rhinos of Cincinnati

[@Discussr]

6:09 are the vultures and hornbills pinioned

[@savannahvarns2126]

I am 100% sure that the only zoo I’ve been to had black-backed jackals

[@_ethanol_]

The rarest zoo animal I’ve seen is the Banded Sea Crate and the Tuatara

[@lesliechu8879]

Zuka-zama!!! Try visiting the Woodland Park Zoo, Oakland Zoo, San Francisco Zoo, & Sacramento Zoo soon!! Plus, 4 zoo trivia questions for you & your girlfriend, Zak... 1) What year did the San Diego Zoo Safari Park have the recent "Dino Mountain" attraction? 2) When did the San Diego Zoo's 45-year old Asian Elephant, Devi, passed away? 3) Which sun bear from the Oakland Zoo passed away this year? 4) How many Komodo Dragons does the San Francisco Zoo now have, since the 4-year old male arrived, recently? And as for the rarest animals I saw in zoos, they would be ringtail cats, basilisk lizards, Andean Cock-Of-The-Rocks, African Openbills, & Steller's Sea Eagles! Jumping Tuojiangosaurus!🦒🦓🐘

[@uniquelynathan1357]

The rarest zoo animal I have ever seen is probably the giant panda at Smithsonian national zoo but, I have only been to 9 zoos so I still have more animals to see!!🐼

[@jameslyon1039]

The rates animal I’ve ever seen is the mountain chicken frogs at Chester zoo

[@Steveofthejungle8]

The Channel Island Fox at the Santa Barbara Zoo might be the rarest animal I’ve seen at a zoo!

[@theimmigrant7953]

The rarest I’ve seen is definitely either the Common Wombat or Shoebill Stork, both at the Houston Zoo.

[@ROWLETFAN31]

Wait there's shoebills in Houston?!

[@ZooTours]

There is not anymore

[@theimmigrant7953]

@@ROWLETFAN31 there was. They replaced it with the walkthrough Aviary in the South American’s Pantanal enclosure. Thankfully, if their Master Plan comes to fruition we should be getting them back in an African expansion along with hippos. s28164.pcdn.co/files/HZI_Strategic_Plan.pdf

Great Tour Zack

[@Fish_tank_productions13]

Love the video but the rarest animals I have seen are probably the Asian elephant, Mexican gray wolves or okapis

[@nielsgde]

The rarest zoo animal I have ever seen was the Northern White Rhinos at the Dvur Kralove Zoo.

[@enzolopes220]

The rarest animal I've seen is certainly the Alagoas curassow.

[@elijahkuzniczci2938]

I work at a zoo in northwestern Florida called The emerald Coast zoo. And I think the rarest animal I've worked with so far, has got to be our Borneo bat-eater python. As being a hybrid they rarely occur in the wild. Or maybe our fly River turtle, and of course there's our black jaguar.

[@matthewzito6130]

The rarest zoo animal I've ever seen was probably a Sumatran Rhino at the Bronx Zoo 20+ years ago.

[@fishtaco4170]

The rarest animal I have ever seen was Nola the Northern white rhino at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. At the time, she was one of 4 alive but now there are only 2

[@taylorc146]

They have several shoebills at the arizona wildlife zoo and aquarium. Pretty neat place but several exhibits are just too small.

[@ZooTours]

Can we get a source on that? I'm very familiar with the place and can not find any evidence of a Shoebill.

[@taylorc146]

@@ZooTours maybe my stoner mind is wrong but Im pretty sure we saw 2 on the tram ride.

[@MsRedacted]

I think there are maribou on the tram idk about shoebill tho ​@@taylorc146

[@roaldbloem2222]

Most rare zoo animal I've ever seen would be the last captive orinoco dolphin at the Duisburg zoo, around 2016. It sadly passed away in 2020.

[@StarGiraffinum]

The rarest animal I've seen in a zoo (well, in my case, aquarium), is probably the whale shark (well, in terms of how many facilities hold them).

[@alfredsupersauce]

I don’t know if it’s necessarily the rarest animal I’ve seen, but the Smithsonian zoo houses Cayman blue iguanas, which are endemic to one tiny island in the Caribbean. I actually went to Grand Cayman once and saw a couple wild ones. In 2006 there were estimated to be only 15 of the lizards on the island, but thanks to captive breeding and reintroduction their numbers have recovered significantly, but they are still endangered.

[@thepresidentofzoo3040]

I'm pretty sure I saw the Sumatran Rhino at Cincinnati as a kid!

[@albatross4920]

Rarest animal I've seen: sf zoo has a small section for California native plants and animals. One tiny little water tank had a san Francisco forktail larvae, a species of damsel fly exclusive to the sf bay area

[@hyena_fan]

Shoebills look absolutely hilarious

[@gabrielcontreras1091]

I've seen northern white rhinos, giant pandas, African clawless otters and African forest buffalo

I’m really late and I’ve watched this video before. But the rarest animal I’ve seen has to the Cuban Crocodile. I think there’s like 100 in the wild.

[@martinriverovalencia8486]

The rarest zoo animal I have ever seen is the angular roughshark in L'Oceanografic (Valencia, Spain)

[@Velociiraptor]

Rarest animal I’ve seen is either the giant panda or the Komodo dragon. The giant panda used to be at Toronto zoo and the Komodo still is.

[@ROWLETFAN31]

Zack the okapi should have a plush. You should make one!

[@animalplushworld100]

ZooTampa gotta be wild

[@Keenakeen]

The proboscis monkeys, as well as Inuka the Polar Bear (Rest in Peace, Inuka) are like the rarest zoo animals I have ever seen, since I've only been to the Singapore Zoo and nowhere else. I've known Inuka all my life whenever I go to the zoo on every visit, and when I realize he is dying in 2018, I paid him one visit to see him one last time. The proboscis monkeys are a different story. So far Singapore has like the only successful breeding population of Proboscis Monkeys there, and unless other zoos allow them in Singapore Zoo may be the only place to see proboscis monkeys in the flesh.

[@andrewfrance7850]

Probably Sumatran Rhino or Aardwolf at Cincinnati...

[@kylebicker7649]

Short-nosed Echinda at Paignton Zoo. Gee, i love Australian Egg-laying Porcupines

How subjective things are! I have several krefts river turtle, I have owned perenty and have reared orphan wombats ( both species). I'm Australian so they're not rare here. Though I've never seen a puma, a raccoon, a grey squirrel or a cardinal!
