Enjoyed this video - especially the big cats. I haven't ever seen a white bengal tiger in person before. It is beautiful. It is funny how much big cats do act like house cats at our house. The cheetahs are cool to see too - especially when they are up and running. I am not sure I have ever seen a yak before in person either. Thanks for sharing Chahinkapa Zoo with us!
This zoo had so much going for it, they have an impressive variety of animals. Big cats like to play and chase just like any other cat. I am glad you enjoyed my tour, Thank You for the comment 😊
Oh, I want to thank you for notifying staff about the chicken being bullied. The zoo staff seemed caring and knowledgeable about the animals, so that's fantastic. Can't wait for your next episode. :)
I heard her screaming, it was really scary. There were several of the other birds pecking her. I yelled at them but that didn't help, so I ran to the gift shop to alert staff of the issue. I was relieved she wasn't too badly hurt. She got pampered after her ordeal, hopefully she was housed in a different habitat so it doesn't happen again.
You help get the word out for conservation that the zoos are doing thru your videos, too. Tom, there are other credentials that zoo's can apply for. ZAA, SSP, The Cheetah foundation and other animal foundations. Those are as strict as the AZA. Also state inspections are an important part of owning a zoo. Lot's of restrictions and things you have to maintain.
I am a very big advocate for conservation, helping critically endangered animals is vital. I will try to mention the zoos accredited status during my tour. I appreciate your additional information.
This was another great tour, yet again I really do appecate you take time to do a quick showcase of the enclousers. But, I do have to say that some of these enclousers were awfully small. Especially the poor bears, tigers and courgar (you could see how the front bear was pacing), they were the smallest I have seen in your tours. I hope this zoo plans some furture expansions/improvements for those animals.
Overall it's a nice zoo, I am not a fan of chainlink type habitats. They we're AZA accredited at one point. Hopefully they will be able to enlarge a few of the habitats in the near future.
a not so fun fact: all Bengal Tigers in US zoos are not pure bengal. as we got better with DNA testing it became apparent that the bengal tiger population accidently had some Malayan and Amur tigers mixed in with it. This is why the AZA phased out Bengal tigers and focuses on the 3 pure subspecies available in american zoos(Malayan, Sumatran, and Amur). Tiger taxonomy is currently a mess as lumpers and spliters are fighting over what populations should be considered a subspecies or just a locality, so nowadays you will almost always only see "bengals" at non-AZA facilities. This is also true for leopards, the AZA only manages the Amur Leopard subspecies, so all African Leopards are mixes of African, Amur, and Sri Lankan leopards. Though unlike the tigers which has a cold weather subspecies(amur) and two warm weather subspecies(malayan and sumatran) some zoos especially in the south want a warm weather leopard subspecies as the Amur Leopard and distantly related snow leopards(which are actually closer in relation to tigers than to true leopards) are both cold weather, so some southern AZA zoos are bringing generic African Leopards back, I personally hope this push can lead to an import of pure african leopards and sri lankan leopards.
@@TomsRoadTrippin u know u if u go to Qatar or Dubai or any gulf places u can take a picture by holding falcon in ur hand the cover there eye and Give u a hand glove for protection
I was over in the hill near the deer when I heard that poor hen screaming. I ran over yelling at the chickens to stop but that didn't help. I didn't include the footage I had as it was too gory. I am glad the staff came quickly and got her. You never know what can happen, even at a zoo.
@@TomsRoadTrippin also I know you told me you got the recommendation right as soon as you finished the Red River Zoo does that mean if you hadn't gotten my suggestion you would have just driven to Bismarck

I am a big fan of zoos.Thank for the videos.I like them.
Thank You, I'm glad to hear you enjoy my zoo tours. I absolutely love going to all of the different zoo's around the country 😊
I liked the gibbons🐒 😊 and the orangutans 🦧I really LOVE monkeys!!😊Im surprised i didnt hear the gibbons hooping all through your video!
They were surprisingly quiet for most of the day. Usually I hear them way before I see them.

@@TomsRoadTrippin That sounds so scary, but thankfully you were around and able to help that sweet chicken. Sending well wishes to the chicken.
happy new year good video to start a new year
Happy new year, I am glad you enjoyed my vids ☺️
@@TomsRoadTrippin happy New year 2024 will be great

Honey Badgers are such neat looking animals. They were both healthy looking.
The lemurs were so fun
I always love seeing the lemurs, the Red Ruffed Lemurs are my favorite
Nice

28:39 Thomas Met Thomas canon event
The Chicken fight reminded me of the Giraffe fight at the Naples Zoo
Yeah, it was pretty bad, I'm just glad she was alright.
@@TomsRoadTrippin so am I
Are you going to start your Southwest Roadtrip in May
Most likely early May, I have to check on a few locations for their operating schedule to be sure.

Hi Tom This looks like a nice zoo. if you ever make it to Utah I suggest you visit the Hogle zoo in Salt lake City, UT I heard it's a pretty good zoo
Hi Zachary, as a matter of fact, I'm planning on going to Utah this year. That's one of the zoos I'll be checking out.
@@TomsRoadTrippinanother zoo in Utah you should visit is the Ivie Acres Farm and Petting Zoo which is in Salt Lake City

Thank You for sharing that information, most zoos have Amur Tigers. Perhaps that is the reason why.
I went to that zoo today and the monkeys were so annoying. They sounded like police sirens
Those must have been the gibbons, they can be quite loud
@@TomsRoadTrippin yea
19:16 A bear hops like a bunny rabbit.
They had carrots too 🥕
HI tiger 🐅
17:04 this is falcon national bird of qatar
That's a gorgeous bird, I found out a bit later that it was a falcon. Thank You 😊
@@TomsRoadTrippinmy pleasure
@@TomsRoadTrippin u know u if u go to Qatar or Dubai or any gulf places u can take a picture by holding falcon in ur hand the cover there eye and
Give u a hand glove for protection
I hope you can see a duck billed platypus in San Diego zoo safari park
I am So looking forward to seeing a platypus 😁
Oh look at that. You visited another zoo I interned at 😊

@@TomsRoadTrippin 👍👌
My favorite animal was the Peacocks also thank you so much for doing my suggestion
I am glad you recommended the zoo Trey, Thanks 😁
@@TomsRoadTrippin also I know you told me you got the recommendation right as soon as you finished the Red River Zoo does that mean if you hadn't gotten my suggestion you would have just driven to Bismarck
@@treys1607 usually if I get finished early enough at an attraction, I'll search for anything else close by that looks interesting.
