Holy crap holy crap holy crap that's my local zoo! I love that you loved our reptile house!!
me too!
Nice to meet others native to this zoo!
I love the sedgwick county zoo. I loved it when I was a kid, and now I am 50 and still love it. I think it is one of the best zoos.
Fun fact from a local: In the rain forest exhibit we had a Komodo Dragon exhibit until she laid eggs on her own. While this might be not unusual, hers actually hatched! The babies were put on exhibit in the reptile house for a while before being transferred elsewhere. And the adult female we had was sent to England to be studied, apparently she was the first female in captivity to do that. Unfortunately we no longer have any Komodo Dragons but everyone was abuzz when this happened.
I got lots to say about this zoo because I've grown up going here. I recommend coming in the spring or summer when more things are on display because a lot of animals are unable to handle our winters very well. South America/Australia and also the rain forest were closed for a while during when this video was released because we had bird flu cases in a few of the wild ducks that like to eat the kio food. So to protect the other birds we couldn't go in. This zoo has been making plans to expand qute a bit in the near future. While it may not be as interesting or as big as others especially those in California I recommend people come and visit. It is always fun and I know I enjoy sharing the zoo I grow up going to.
I'm so grateful for your detour, I live nearby and cannot go in the gorilla exhibit.
When I was 18 I volunteered at this zoo, in the reptile house (mainly). I got to feed the aldabra tortoises, and they love getting their necks scratched. I also got to help feed the freshwater stingrays they have. We threw worms in the water, and the sucked them up like little roomba! Soo cute. I love the bats just just hand from the top of the rainforest exhibit. Working at the zoo was so much fun.
Fun fact
The Sedgwick County Zoo is the 7th largest zoo in the country, and I do believe it's #1 in the amount of area per animal.
Once again, I'm thrilled to see our Zoo so upfront and shown to the world. And, again, I'm inspired to get my butt out to our Zoo again. It's been a while since I've last gone. Thanks again, Dav. ❤😊
I hated to see the tour end. I don't get far due to chronic illnesses so these videos really help me stay connected to the outside world seeing things if love to but can't at the moment. Thank you for brightening my day 🙂
Glad to have you along!
It’s hilarious watching someone get turned around (my mental map of where you were was going off the whole time). I hope you enjoyed!! I grew up here as my dad worked with the elephants and still go once a week with my friends!
don't know if it was closed when you came to visit, but next time you're here, make sure you go in the tropics house... it's an amazing walk-through aviary ... has always been one of my favorites
Also, all of our age-appropriate elephants are pregnant so soon that herd is going to grow!
you NEED to come back! There are now stingrays, A New Tiger exibit, not 1, not 2, but FOUR pregnant elephants, and quite a few new reptiles
oh and australia and South America is open again :)
You should visit Saint Louis Zoo - Their Herpitarium is top tier!
Those are actually two species of flamingo! The American/Caribbean flamingo is the deeply vibrant one.
Awesome to see you review my local zoo!
I wish he would have went to the jungle exhibit. that's my favorite.
Besides the reptile exhibit
I do too but it also was closed
I've always loved going to the sedgwick zoo, though even with living in the area it's been a little bit sense I've been able to go. However the recent announcement they made about 4 of the elephants expecting babies have made me want to go again soon!
I'd love to be there for that!
Well it takes about 22 months for the little calves to come into the world so it would be something to see
As an alumni from Friends University Zoo and animal Science degree ( program partnered with SCZ) I am so glad you enjoyed your visit to my “home” institution. The reptile crew works hard and doesn’t always get a lot of love from the public.
16:54 colossal cobras
Do another Sedgwick county zoo video in the summer!
Those flamingos are different colors because they are different types of flamingos lol. One is Caribbean and darker pink and the other is a greater flamingo and lighter.
The Amur leopards are mostly in Russia, partially china. They come from the Amur Oblast in Russia.
This is our home zoo, those coy were saying ur mean for not getting fish food from the coin operated machine at the end of the bridge.
They have zoo slumber parties. You can bring a sleeping bag and sleep in the reptile house. Well, it's usually children who stay, but why not.
The koi are all saying "MORE FISH PELLETS! MOOOOOOARRRRR!!!"
King Elapid?
That is an incredible zoo!!
Bison love rolling in Christmas trees.
There's a smell they absolutely love!
#RattleOn
The koi are saying oh
"The King Formerly Known as Cobra"?
I used to visit the Sedgwick County Zoo when I was a kid. It is a cool zoo and the best time to visit it is in the summer time the best buildings to visit there is the herpaterium and the rainforest. There are a lot of good animal exhibits there.
I'm like the penguins I spin 75 percent in the water whenever it comes to the pool
Koi are saying feed me
maybe time for a dav kaufman collection tour?
'I'm so turned around...ooh, gorillas!'
Sounds like me at the zoo...
I went there years ago . I always love how the zoo is tornado proofed by all of those artificial hills to act as a storm shelter . Florida zoos should take a lesson .
I grew up going to SZC! I used to volunteer in the African Veldt. It’s an incredible place!!
Thank you for featuring our amazing zoo!
I spend all 5th and 6th grade raising money for this zoo. It better be good.🤔
The coy are saying feed me now
FYI there's two species of flamingos in there, one is pinker than the other
Exactly!
Those Koi wanted popcorn. I hope you come back when it's warmer out. It's quite different! We have the best zoo in the area!
Better watch out for those chuckwallas. I hear from a credible source that they’re dangerous
The MOST credible of sources! The real deal, not source AI! 😂
The black tailed rattlesnake was my first venomous snake .When I was 19 I traded two Savannah monitors for a hatchling black tailed . She was so well behaved too
1:30 They are saying :"food... give me food"
Chinese alligators...the derpist of derps
I mean King Mamba makes sense but I also think that their physiological adaptations are so much like true cobras that you know they're very Cobra like so I don't know they're similar stuff with boas right I mean true boas are different than live bearing constrictors that are called boas or old world boas...
The silverback is thinking “I need more acreage”
FOOD
The Aldabra tortoises have an off exhibit home and an outside enclosure for when its watm outside. I know the inside display isn't the greatest, but they dont stay there
They didn't look too good 😬
@@MotherTruckinReptilesThose guys are very spoiled.
I live in Wichita and they are extremely spoiled and they mate often showing they are comfortable
@@mototrrtle2327 can confirm. Been to a couple fundraisers at the zoo. Paid $20 to feed them fresh veggies to raise money for the zoo. It's wild that someone thinks they're not taken care of 😂. Our zoo spoils all of their animals, and the community raises 100s of thousands of dollars. Zoobilee alone!
The koi are saying " Come on in Dav. The water's fine." Was the Aldabra enclosure bigger than what we saw? They need to roam and graze. They look cramped and sad. Reminded me of the grey concrete boxes from zoos in the 70's.
St louis zoo reptile house is amazing, they also offer a behind the scenes tour there.
Koi are saying Give us Foodies!!!
Awwww the penguin! Love these zoo tours every time you post one!
I consider myself a cougar joke.
Koi: "Feed me Seymour!"
You're like me with my ADHD haha. Intended to go to the reptile house first, proceeded to get distracted by everything else along the way 😂
That penguin following you was definitely my highlight today!! Great video and lots of educational info mixed in with your oh so loved humor 😂
Mamba #5 lol
Lol
I'm catching up on your videos today and always have something to comment about.
You are so funny and your quick wit is totally appreciated and I'm sure that your humor goes wasted on people who don't "get you"... same here!
When you were trying to find the reptile house and ended up on the complete opposite side of the zoo I laughed so hard.
Thanks for the tour!
Oooh...an elephant! 🐘
Thank you so much!!
Love the videos. Greetings from Charleston, SC.
Feed me please😂
Dang that is an hour away from me. We haven’t been there for a few years and the Australian exhibit is always closed
If you're ever in Michigan check out the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids on the west side. Pretty cool place
Your momba Dāv......
Dāv, you have gotta check out The Birmingham Zoo in Alabama. It’s absolutely beautiful! I was incredibly lucky to grow up going there and my older brother is one of the head keepers!
I bet Dav gets to interact w cougars all the time.
Great vid! Fresno Zoo also has a nice reptile zoo. King cobra, an Indigo, mata mata and some other very cool species. Just don't go in the summer! Denver & San Diego also have beautiful collections! ...Next time you're in our neck o'the woods! 🥰
Wait! What? You were in Wichita? Dang it! I would have skipped work to go to the zoo! Did you check out the new Reptarium next to the north Exotic Pets? I'm so bummed!
I'm a member of this Zoo that visits a handful of times every month, and I grew up going to this Zoo as a child. Those childhood trips to the Sedgwick County Zoo are a big reason why I'm so passionate about animals today!! You've got to come back sometime in the Summer to experience everything the Zoo has to offer, including Giraffe feedings, a riverboat tour, and a Stingray touch tank!! The Australia/South America section is a bird lover's dream and the Tropics building is the most incredible indoors wildlife facility I've ever seen!! It's one of my favorite Zoos in the country, and they're always working to expand and improve living conditions for their animals, as well as improve the guest experience!!
There's a river running through the zoo and in the summer you can take boat tours that are so fun
The reptile house used to be pitch black inside. Instead of the alligators they had gahriels (spelling is wrong) one passed away & they shipped the other one out. It was so dark in there you couldn’t see someone standing next to you but if you stayed long enough your eyes would adjust & you were able to see the crocs really well in the water. They also had a small room you could walk through where the desert lizards ran around but I think they kept getting out of the room because people wouldn’t shut the doors well enough.
❤
If you come back, don't come in July or Aug unless you like being miserably hot
I'm sorry to tell you Dav but the Koi called you a bad name
I work for mosquito Joe…. I am a newfound reptile lover though of the last few years and I hate killing things but I would say that id rather someone responsible spraying that has some kinda respect for the wildlife then someone with no care about nature and Mother Earth! I fight my feeings about it often but on the other hand they say mosquitoes are the most deadly creature in the world but idk if that constitutes trying to prevent them as it’s done these days with sprays…😢 idk man I don’t think it’s going anywhere so why not try and control what’s sprayed and care about and avoid all other animals and water features at all cost… I could imagine someone who didn’t care the damage that could possibly be done if spraying into water or something like that. Iv heard people getting scared of snakes while spraying and spray the snakes and that saddens me for loss of other words right now! Don’t judge me! Believe it or not I don’t even kill spiders in my house or a fly even. But happened to get this job where I can herp while working but also control how places are sprayed someone else who had my position may not care like I do so maybe helping out In that way!
Zoos make me sad 😢
The common name king cobra is never going to leave that snake (though if you really don't like using it for some reason, Hamadryad is another already established one). It's been known for decades that they're not particularly related to the true cobras, but the current expected change isn't about that, it's more that they're likely to be split into multiple species. Something that's probably long overdue, since there are huge differences between the animals from Java, India, the Philippines etc.
Such a shame what the Chinese government does to their native species. Human included. King Cobra ftw
With the Amur leopard and tiger, that part of the world are the borders between China, North korea and Russia on the kamchatka peninsula. Tough area to thrive.
Being as their common name has nothing to do with their scientific classification. Cobras being in their own genus Naja and these have there own genus. There's no reason for their common name to change as the still display cobra like behaviours. If the case that they aren't true cobras means we cannot call them the king cobra then we would false water cobra would need to be referred to their other common name the Brazilian smooth snake. Or we could just do away with common names completely and refer to everything with their scientific name.
I will always call it a King Cobra. This day and age of wanting to change names is silly.
Bro acting like he's not clearly of very close European decent with a name like Dav Kaufman
Point?
@@DavKaufmansAdventuresyou seem to get a lot of crap in the comments. Thank you for sharing the Sedgwick Zoo with everyone, it's my local! And no, we don't care what your genealogy is. There are many Kaufman and Kauffman around here.. great friends!
Sorry but I have to stand behind Trump. If we want to stay America he's our only hope. That zoo does look really awesome I just hate seeing all of them penned up. I believe in God and know that one day this planet will be back to the way he meant it to be. He created the animals before humans then created us to care for the planet and the animals. So I believe we'll see all of them in heaven.
Even though he’s a science denier and has destroyed more natural areas and pulled more funding from environmental agencies than any other president, and has actually stated he’ll be a dictator on day one? I think you may need to recalibrate your thinking on this.
King Mamba, write it down.
Great video! 🎉
The koi were saying buy some fish food and feed us!! There's food machines in the children's zoo and there should be a souvenir shack close by that sells fish food.
No way! This is my local zoo! That reptile house helped fuel my love of snakes as a kid. It’s so cool you went to see it! (no one ever comes to Kansas)
Proud local happy to see you enjoyed your time. Youve got to come back to the tropical building, the smell and humidity, all the bird songs while surrounded by incredible foliage, its a whole sensory experience. Like a little slice of the rainforest.
💜💚💜💜💜💚💜
This is my home zoo. The king cobras name is Moose!
first in the comments lol. the koi are saying feed me bigfoot
That's exactly what I thought lol
I'm from Wichita. Great job! Thank you.
I had the privilege to be the overnight security guard there a few times. Some of my fun experiences include the time the lion scared the absolute hell out of me, hearing the hyenas laugh in the distance while in pitch black darkness, and finding the elephants playing and bellowing to each other during a rainstorm.

I just want to share how amazingly important our albino bison is due to our indigenous population and what it means to them and all indigenous populations. They are amazingly rare!
I adore the Sedgwick county zoo. I worked in guest services for a little bit during college. I remember hearing behind the scenes we have a massive venemous snake population. We're a part of a ton of conservation programs too. We have a couple birds from Guam that are extinct in the wild over in the jungle house and that walksway you showed goes over our mexican wolf exhibit.
Id rather not change the name of king cobra, its what we know it as and has been for so long, but the mamba connection makes since looking at the face and personality. If it must be changed, King Mamba? Still my most fave hot snake next to the gabby
There used to be massive snakes hanging from the ceiling in the reptile house back in the 1980's/90's
1:10 there used to be food pellet vending machines all along this bridge. You could pay a coin for a punch of pellets. Unfortunately those vending machines have been removed. I imagine that’s because they would often run out of pellets and the vending machines weren’t electric so you couldn’t get your quarter back with a push of a button. You had to go inform the staff. I’d guess you can see a couple problems with this situation.
How do magnets work?
either Hooded King Mamba or just King Mamba

What are your predictions for the next video?
My home town!!! The reptile section is cool and terrifies me because I don’t like reptiles
