Zoo Tours: Africa at the Cincinnati Zoo (2008)

- Episode 79
The Cincinnati Zoo is known for keeping its history alive and well, even in their newer projects at times - fortunately, not here! They took an eight acre parking lot, at the time it was their last bit of major undeveloped land - and piece by piece an element of Africa was added over an eight year span. Five phases representing the grasslands, drylands, lagoons and rivers all in one. It may very well be the zoo’s top attraction for decades, upon decades to come. Giraffes at your level, lions that look like they could hunt the prey right in front of them, one of the most diverse savanna’s in a park, painted dog pups wrestling in the pool, and of course we can’t leave out the world famous Princess Fiona. It’s another zoo tours epic two years in the making - and by far the most extensive episode to date. I hope you enjoy the best my hometown has to offer.

*Other facts not in the video*
1. Both the giraffe and flamingo exhibits had a grey crowned crane at one point.
2. Ruddy shelducks were once in the Plains but fell in the lion exhibit several times (no accidents)
3. The lions often successfully hunt turtles and birds.
4. There's an interpretive station where keepers bring out smaller animals to get upclose encounters with guests. I've seen: Crested porcupine, Greater flamingo, Lesser tenrec, pygmy falcon, yellow-billed hornbill, various snakes and insects
5. Original Plains lineup: Grant’s gazelle, Eiland, Lesser kudu, Guineafowl, Zebra, White-backed vulture, Ruppell’s vulture, Wildebeest
6. The painted dog exhibit was set to be half the size that it ended up being.
7. The crocodile/hippo setup was on the revised plan, the original says the hippo home would go all the way to the meerkat spot.
8. During that mentioned volunteer orientation in 2009, the speaker mentioned hippos would be behind the giraffes in the Discovery Forest parking lot.
Thanks for showing that clip of John and Imani with their cubs!

Hey Zoo Tours, you should do the brand new Adventure Cove at the Columbus Zoo cause every time when I go there as a guest or as a worker cause I work at the Columbus Zoo I love going to see adventure cove with all the seals and sea lions and the other animals to

Africa is definitely my favorite part of the Cincinnati zoo, and you certainly did it justice Zach. Hard to believe it was a parking lot at one point.
You put so much into this. More people should watch
I got to see Winnie at the Memphis Zoo yesterday. I hope one day I can see Fiona.
Been waiting for this zoo tour of Africa forever thanks for uploading

I remember when I went to the Cincinnati zoo and I saw the impalas grunting at the Lions!
One of the exhibits I have on my list to see! I don’t know if I missed it in your video but another tidbit of a fact was that Africa won the AZA Exhibit Award for Significant Achievement as well :) Always look forward to your hard work!
