Feeding A Rhinoceros At Busch Gardens Tampa Florida! | NEW Up Close Animal Encounter Tours!

- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- In today's video we head out to Busch Gardens Tampa for a media event showcasing 4 of the new Up Close Animal Encounters available at Busch Gardens. We start out meeting a silverback gorilla. We learned some interesting facts and had the opportunity to toss some treats over to him. We even learned a hand signal the veterinarians use to aid in inspecting his teeth! After the Gorilla we headed over to the Animal Care Center where veterinarians were performing surgery on a silver fox that was found in a local park in need of veterinary care. Then we headed over to meet a black rhinoceros! Her name was Jodi and she was incredibly sweet! Once again the care takers told us so many interesting facts about the rhinos and how Busch Gardens takes care of them. The next tour we went on was the Aldabra tortoises. It was amazing to hear the back stories of the tortoises and how the animal care specialists have made their lives better. We ended off the day with a visit to the sloths where we met Daisy a two toed sloth. All of the animals were so amazing and we learned so much on these tours! Thank you again to Busch Gardens for having us out and be sure to join us tomorrow for another new video!

What I love about Busch Gardens is how the zookeepers have a true passion and love for the animals they care for
Samee
Me too!
I don’t know WHAT I expected it to look like when a Rhino eats, but it was DEFINITELY NOT that
Lol. Ikr.
Lmao
I had no idea they had a prehensile lip! It was so interesting to see!
I didn't quite realize that rhinos even looked like that, it feels sort of alien!
TheFireyFlareon 05 same! Lol
When he told the sloth that she's beautiful my heart melted. Thats so sweet, he loves animals so much!
I do love animals! They are great!
I got really teary eyed on that part!! I love sloths so much and can't believe Tim was able to feed and pet her! Loved this video so much!
Tim thank you so much for supporting National Zoo Keeper Week! Our profession is often misunderstood, and we have been receiving a lot of backlash in recent years, so it is wonderful to see people like you taking the time to highlight the incredible work that Animal Care professionals do!!
We definitely love zoo keepers and we are sorry you have been receiving backlash! Thank you for all you do for the animals!
The animals are sentient beings! Wake up world.
Were you there when they were taken has babies?
Happy National Zookeeper Week to my fellow zoologists out there! I've been taking care of exotic animals in zoological facilities for 5 years now and it's the best job ever. Thank you so much Tim from always being so supportive of zoos and helping spread awareness, and thank you to everyone who comes to these videos excited to learn and not judge. Busch Gardens is an incredible facility that is very passionate about animal care and education, this is a great addition!
Yes, there are many zoos and aquariums around the world that care SO much about animals and awareness and conservation and education and care. But I just wish that EVERYONE could see that passion at those places, not just "aw poor animals"..... I would LOVE to be able to be a zookeeper and surround myself with all kinds of exotic animals (in a careful, educational, beneficial way, not as simply a collector or whatever you wanna call it) all day long and for Busch Gardens to offer these experiences to the public is just bringing that dream even closer! Kudos to Busch Gardens and all the other facilities that help bring the public closer to understanding and learning about these wonderful creatures!
The fox is beautiful!
Outstanding end to a tragic backstory, tip my hat to Busch Gardens 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It really is a beautiful animal!
Busch is really first class. Lots of amazing folks that work there and like Tim said are very very passionate about the animals. Not your average theme park in my opinion
As a person who wants to go into the zoo field I would like to thank you for this video. There are a lot of misconceptions about captive animals. Not only in bush gardens but in all American zoos. The animal care team have a true passion for their 365 day job and the animals they care for.
Nice to see good zookeepers and animal specialists who love their job! That's awesome!
That is definitely the trend we see at the SeaWorld family of parks!
What a lovely video. The keepers had so much knowledge. Feeding the rhino definitely looks like the highlight. Great editing as always Jenn.
The keepers were definitely the highlight of the tours... well aside from the animals of course!
9:30 - I just got done building houses for some rock hyrax last month. Some people think they're ugly but I think they're adorable. ( AKA rock rabbits ) I'm glad you got a good closeup of their feet. They're structured like an elephants but spread out for gripping. Their toenails are even the same, only their feet constantly sweat and secrete for adhesion to the rocks.
They are such interesting animals for sure! This is the first time I've ever seen one!
I love how so many of the animals are tamed and friendly like Jodi
Who else is excited for Baby Tracker😄💓💓💓
Tim and Jenn, if by any chance you see this, I would highly recommend you try Le Cellier in Epcot! Best restaurant on Disney property in my opinion. It would be great for a food review vlog! Love you guys :)
A mini tracker
I think we're all waiting for Tiny Tracker lol
I'm excited for them, but otherwise I'm not a baby person at all. So that makes me the 1% who skips the baby update videos. :P
I am!
it is so important for facilities like this to offer these kind of experiences. not only do guests get that once in a lifetime experience with an animal but guests are shown the enrichment given to the animals, they learn so much about them, and the guests can see just how much their caretakers care for the animals. just from the little bit of audio we got, you can tell how knowledgable those caretakers are and how much they really care for their animals. I really love how much Busch garden cares for their animals, its so wonderful
I wish I could "love" this comment like you can on facebook..... VERY well said!! It deserves more than 2 likes!
That sloth was so cute...her little lip smacking noise when she eat was super cute.... I want her so much.
She definitely was adorable!
I never realized how funny the word "rhinoceroses" is until you said it Tim 😂 Such an educational video so thanks for sharing and thanks Jen for editing this beautiful masterpiece. Loved every moment of it 😊
Thank you so much! Rhinoceroses is fun to say!
Love Tim and Jenn. The most down to earth, genuine people on RUclips and their gratitude for having the oppurtunity to do all these cool things. Keep it up guys! Best wishes with baby tracker
Thank you so much!!!
@@TheTimTracker Dont thank me. You are the ones who need thanking. You brighten so many people days. Love and wishing you all well from the UK. 😀😉
I LOVE SLOTHS so much!! I cried when Tim got to feed AND pet the sloth. Thank you for sharing this experience with us Tim!! Aloha~
Me too. I told my daughter that is I ever get to meet a sloth she will see me cry over it. I just love them so much.
Although I understand why Jenn couldn’t come along, it was nice to see you brought along a friend at 4:19. He seemed friendly 😆 Thanks for the great vid, Tim & Jenn! From one animal lover to another. ♥️ 🦍 🐢🦏
Flavia right? At first glance, I was like who is that? Thought it was a park entertainer that painted themselves silver lol 😂
What does the Fox say? Nothing, he's sedated! 😎
FrankieBabesNYC 😂
That sloth was stunning love watching all your vlogs from here in Scotland UK 🏴
She was such an amazing animal!
@@TheTimTracker thank you for replying 😁 congrats to you both on your little boy can't wait to see him 👶🏻🍼
Wow, the rhino looks so gentle and calm! Normally rhinos are depicted as angry and hostile but she was so sweet!
My daughter and I have had the honor of feeding a rhino and it was such a humbling experience. Glad that your able to show us part of it. Anything that helps against the struggles of the rhino :) I had no idea that Busch gardens was such a great zoo.
OMG.....what an amazing experience. I'll definitely have to try that.
And I know any time anyone posts zoo videos there are always people who complain about zoos. But they forget all the wonderful work most of our zoos do like you just showed us. And behind the scenes they are working to protect animals all over the world.
But not even able to touch the rhino per "Simply harassing an endangered animal can carry a fine of $10,500". Some bullshit.
Jodi is a beauty. I want her for a pet. She would make a great conversation piece. She’s such a lady when eating. The tortoise is amazing as well. So prehistoric looking
Half crying. Such amazing, gorgeous creatures. 💗💗💗
Can you do a video on Big Cat Rescue in Tampa please?
It’s such a great place! We did a early morning tour with my friend who works there and it was awesome. The passion the staff has for the animals was wonderful.
I will definitely look into it! In the meantime, have you seen our visit to a big cat facility in Orlando? ruclips.net/video/HmpwEPKy0Fs/видео.html
Big Cat Habitat was very nice too would love to see a video on that one.
I can't even imagine meeting a silverback in the wild...Just massive!!! And now it's time to pay the price!!
Yes I understand this...Just saying they are an AWWWWWESOME animal!!
Anytime I see a sloth, immediately think of Zootopia, with Flash.
He was the best part of Zootopia!
Flash Flash hundred yard dash!
Yes! Me too
Wow how beautiful is he that Gorilla !
Poor little fox 🦊. Glad they are helping him .
Loved Tim petting & feeding the tortoise!
That Rhino was absolutely amazing and she was adorable but that sloth was also amazing. xxxxxx
I loved the Rhino!
I just want to say thank you so much for highlighting so many amazing animal facilities and for showing people that zoos can be really amazing places! Being in the zoo field I unfortunately see a lot of backlash that zoos experience first hand when they don’t deserve the hate and they truly do so much good! Please keep going to different animal facilities, I love it!!
Rhini and tortoise look like cousins ☺ cuteness
WOW! What an incredible experience! Absolutely loved watching.
I live near Busch Gardens, a few days ago I went on Sheikra and you can see all of Gwazi construction, the track is purple and they have started laying them out getting ready to set them up
Awesome! I will have to take a trip back out there for a ride on Sheikra!
I could watch them little guys all day
If you guys go to Islands of Adventure soon can you let us know if The Backwater Bar attached to Confisco's is open yet? 😊 last video it seemed to be closed off, thanks!
This video made me so calm and took away any ounce of anxiety i had. Love you guys so much! ❤️
We are glad the video soothed you!
THAT SLOTH IS SO ADORABLE!
LOL OH NO THERE'S A SQUIRREL IN THE TRASH CAN!
Thank you so much for your support and helping educate about what we do Tim and Jenn 💙

OMG THE SLOTH... she is so cute ... Loved this video. Thank you for taking us with you. Adding this to my list for my Florida trip at the end of the year.. woo hoo....
i work here behind the scenes but not in zoo and i love getting to see all the animals all the time
*Tim shows the sloths face*
Tim: you’re beautiful.
Me: I WOULD DIE FOR YOU
That's a big gorilla! I saw a family of gorillas at Animal Kingdom's Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail last week and they had a baby. That is a cute fox at 2:25 👍
I agree with you, That's a male Silver Fox.
Personally I wouldn't want to get to close to him
That is a really big gorilla! It is amazing how big they get in just 13 years!
@@TheTimTracker Look on RUclips tim for child falls in to gorilla pit I think it shows how gente they can be
@@TheTimTracker ive followed you since i lived in illinois and now i moved to Orlando hope to see you at universal someday
When I was in the 8th grade we did this with the giraffes, it was my favorite memory from the trip and there’s a photo of me with its tongue wrapped around my arm.
Aww, that Sloth was sooooo cute!!
Loved getting to see the tortoises! As a proud tortoise mama, I would have loved to do a tour like this.
I like the new animation you guys added on the end card, nice touch!
Thank you to Zach for animating it for us!
Getting that close to the rhino was so cool!
Big huge girl rhino 😮 beautiful coloration! Wish I could have a pet tortoise!
That was amazing!! I would love to do those special encounters!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I loved it ❤️
You are welcome!
What an amazing experience! Beautiful to learn how the life expectancy of so many of these animals has doubled in captivity!
OH NO THERE'S A SQUIRREL IN THE TRASH CAN! haha!!
Daisy is so cute!!!
You will be a great dad Tim
Omg that Fox is sooooo freakin cute!!!!!! I CAN'T!!!!!!! 💕💕💕
What an awesome opportunity to have a tour of these amazing animals!
Another great video from timtracker! Always inspiring the way the video is entertaining and educational. Congratulations on the baby boy....ttracker..jr!
Thank you for bringing attention to the great job these keepers do. The animals are so special especially Daisy... sloths are my spirit animals. 🤗
The dubbed portions brought me back to the Huell Howser days with my dad. Good times.
Good ol Huell Howser!
Tim ! Loved seeing all the animals. They are just beautiful !!
“Look at you, you’re beautiful.” Aww Tim. 😊
What a great video! So informative! You can obviously hear the passion the care takers have for animals. Thanks for taking us along Tim!
This was so cute. I have fed many animals but never a rhino. Adorable. The rain sure made the colors on the video pop. Really nice. Thank you for sharing.
Tim, did you have a flashback of Morla from Neverending Story when you looked at the tortoise thru the camera screen?
Haha! "Not that it matters... but yes."
Fun video - thanks Tim and Jenn! Let's have more of these! :^)
Omg that top lip on the black rhino 😍
This was lovely and thank you for sharing with us. I will be sure to go to Busch Gardens next time I'm in Orlando!
That is awesome that the public is able to do these tours! All of these animals are so beautiful.
Wow, what an amazing experience. Thanks for sharing Tim.
You are very welcome! It was awesome!
Gosh I didn't expect to like this video but it was so emotional watching you feed the animals. the Tortoise tongue was fabulous!
National zoo keepers day??!! I never knew about that. How sweet. How luck you guys are too be able to go behind the scene at the zoo. I would love to do that.
Bubba 💚 the tortoise💚💚
"I like Turtles"...🤣😂
I wouldn't be surprised if your local zoo offers some up close encounters too. A lot of zoos believe the best way to spark interest in animals is through meeting them.
Thanks for this video...BG have the best animals! I worked there for 9 years as well grew up going with my annual pass. Still have many friends that still work there!
that was cool! I never Knew I could do this. Can you do more of these special tours? (from all parks)
Gorillas are my favourite! When I visited, I sat watching them while my family went on the rides! But I must admit the sloth looked so cute!
Goon Morning! Have fantastic DAY!
Just an amazing video. So detailed. Loved it. Thank you!
Thank you!
Its definitely worth the trip over to Tampa to go to Busch Gardens! Thanks Tim!
You are very welcome! It was an amazing day!
This was a great experience so glad you got to do this and show us up close with the animals.
Brilliant video! What an amazing insight into what they do
Thanks, Tim! This was really cool to see. And I bet it was really hard not to touch the Rhino just to feel the hide? Skin? But understand it completely. How awesome for Busch Gardens to invite you! Livin the life man! Livin the life! And so much knowledge!! Ahh so jealous.
Yeah I don't understand the not touching the rhino part. Like you're not hurting it by touching it. :)
Poor Fox, thank goodness they found him
Love the new mini animation at the end!
I now love rhinos!!! Super sweet!!
Hey Tim I don’t know if you’ll see this but my birthday is coming up and I’m going to Aquatica on Saturday so I was wondering if you could go. Obviously I know this is asking a lot but it would make my day if you could go!! I’ve been subscribed since 2014 and I just wanna say keep up the good work and I can’t wait for the baby!!! Also I’ll be there from open to close!
Thanks😊
Have a great time!
@Hi, thanks! I will!
Gahhhhh! Daisy!!!! She’s so freakin cute.
I was on a trip to Tampa 4 days ago and I’m still here! We kept driving by Busch gardens everyday. It’s kinda funny cause I was thinking that maybe you might be there having a great time and you were XD
what a fun experience :) my kids wold love to get up close with some fo these! Will need to check it out for our trip to florida in a few months!
We saw Berlingo (spelling)? when he was a baby. His mother was laying on her side hiding him from us. we waited over 20 minutes to try and get a glimpse of him, all the while his mum peering at us over her shoulder. Suddenly she rolled over on her back and there he was. It was like she just decided we could see him. It was worth the wait. Glad he doing ok.
TheTimTracker+ Tracker: Happy Thursday, Tim Tracker, We Are So Excited To See Your Baby Son, He`s Going To Be Cute!
We are very excited too!
You guys are so inspiring the way that you ca n upload every day!
Thank you!
That sloth absolutely melted my heart :3

Oh my goodness! I love her. And I had no idea that that's what Busch Gardens was like. So cool.
That rhino is so cute 😊
That sloth was just the cutest thing! 😭😭😭
Omg, I am in love with this video!!! Tears of joy watching the animals eat. Amazing!
