    Gorillas are amazing. The most incredible animal interaction I ever had was with a bachelor gorilla at the Columbia SC zoo. He indicated he liked my hat with some rudimentary sign language, then leaned in and posed for a picture with my wife through the glass. We really need to respect their territory and natural habitats.

      Totally agree with this comment. I just went about 2 weeks ago to the zoo in Columbia SC and had a wonderful experience at the Gorilla enclosure..

      Indeed. They really are amazing animals. If only the world could open its eyes and see just how special Apes are…they are practically FAMILY, people! They deserve respect!

    That zoo is absolutely worth visiting in summer --- the zoo train is excellent, and obviously only runs in warm weather.

    When Jacob said, "I don't know; I don't see a Tiger Centipede anywhere in there," I imagined 10 or 15 people casually strolling away at 90 MPH. 😆

    What a beautiful place to see. Loved the penguins. They are fascinated with bubbles because it keeps them from getting bored and keeps their senses sharp. Looking forward to your next adventure tomorrow.

    12:55 Have you ever seen “Zooboomafoo?” I believe that is the same species of lemur as depicted in the show.
    24:19 Huh, you can see a copy of ‘Villainous’ in there! That game can be pretty fun, although figuring out the unique rules for each character can be tricky. I kinda wish they had ‘Betrayal at House on the Hill’ on display. Now that is a groundbreaking game!

    • @aimeek997

    When you get to Memphis be sure to check on your fish (and mine! It’s right across from yours) You could go to Mud Island, there’s a museum there. Eat a great burger at Huey’s or BBQ at Central (or the Rendezvous, but Central is better) Also Gus’s fried chicken! Others have mentioned the Fire and Cotton museum, I’ve never been to them so it would be cool to see in a video.

  • @adventuresintvland
    @adventuresintvland 2 года назад +5

    I love both those places. The zoo really must be experienced in warmer weather. You missed all the cool space stuff at Science Center. Crown Candy Kitchen is a must; actually didn’t look too busy, normally line goes around the block.

    Zoology major here :) the bubbles are enrichment for the penguins! Keepers are meant to provide some type of enrichment daily or multiple times a day. Looks like the keepers chose bubbles to see if they would react positively.

    Fun Fact : While the first arcade, mass-produced video game was indeed Space War (not Pong), the very first video game ever, was done at MIT & called "Tennis for Two". This was, essentially a proto-Pong, played only by students. One of those students was Nolan Buschnell, who later went on to create Pong & became founder of Atari.
    Also, you can see Space War & its arcade cabinet in the sci-fi movie Soylent Green, w/Charlton Heston - which, coinvidentally, takes place in the dystopic year 2022. 😃

    The free St. Louis institutions are supported by my county taxes, and it is well worth it. After having lived around the country, I find St. Louis County to be a livable area. Compared to urban areas like Chicago, you only need 25% of the time to travel to destinations, and you can always find a parking place within walking distance. Crown Candy restaurant IS a slice of the past, and when they advertised that they were low on sales during COVID, the whole area lined-up to get Crown Candy lunches and keep them in business.

    Fun facts about hissing cockroaches they typically are a brownish tone, with ridges on their backs and are bigger than the typical house roach and are used in movies when a roach is need for a scene as they are cleaner than house roaches and are owned as pets by many people.

    My only more favorite zoo than St. Louis is the Cincinnati Zoo! I have family in Cincinnati (my aunt passed from cancer in 2020 and, no, we were not allowed to have a funeral) and I went to visit for my birthday several years back. It was AMAZING! I'm in a wheelchair and it was perfectly fine getting around!

    We always visit the zoo in the fall! The weather is still nice, but it's so much less hot and humid, so it's more of a pleasant experience. There's also less people, and the animals are much more active since it's not nearly as hot. Sometimes it feels like we get the whole zoo to ourselves! Definitely recommend a fall visit over a summer one any day.

    Jacob, since you like off-season zoos, check out the Cincinnati Zoo sometime in December, they put on a Christmas celebration with lots of lights and displays. Many of the animals can still be seen in and outdoors, too. There's a classic train that goes around the zoo, plenty of hot cocoa and roasted nuts, and it is all very festive and perfect for the season, especially after a fresh snow!

Either way, awesome video!
