    I guess I'd have to see the lions in the exhibit to get a size ratio. When I saw the other exhibit, then the size comparison with the lions, then I was let down. But you didn't go by their viewing window so maybe I would have seen more from there.

    So what exhibit should I do next? I have one more suggestion in line and that is Wings of the World.

    Do Wildlife Canyon. The only reason I say this is because the entrance is actually a bit hidden and we almost missed it entirely!

    Will do. It will be better now that Harapan's out and without a Sumatran rhino in the video, it wouldn't be worth shooting. Which entrance did you use, the one on the left or right or Eagle Eyrie?

    The main one by the rhinos which is behind a giftshop (or maybe it was a food stand)! It kind of looks like an off-show area the way it curves down behind the buildings and turns sharply behind thick foliage.

    Ah yes that's basically the alternate entrance. The other one however, is not hidden.

    No it isn't but being that the rhinos really are the only reason worth visiting there right now, I'm sure people want to know where the entrance closest to the rhinos is.

    My next visit is Friday so all the videos I will take will be up on Saturday. Uploading videos takes about 12 to 15 hours.

    I took videos of the Reptile House, White Lions, Wings of the World, Mueller's Gibbons, Bonobos in their indoor exhibit, and swimming River Otters.

    I took a couple of videos when I was at the zoo and will update you when I get to uploading them.

    These are some really cool videos, and a great initiative. Keep it up! I hope that a few more Zoochatters can do this for their local zoo.

    There doesn't appear to be much camera shake, so what set up are you using? I have been thinking of buying a 'steadicam', but didn't in the end, because I don't really film much.

    Thank you, I will!:)

    Trust me, there still is a lot of shaking in my videos. Thankfully YouTube fixes it for me. If you look closely, you'll see at times a "fish eye" effect take place during shaky moments.

    When you say that YouTube fixes it for you, what do you mean?

    When your video is done uploading it will say it detects shakiness. It asks if you want this problem to be fixed to which forth you can click "Yes Fix It". On the top of your screen it will show the progress in percentage. That is all you have to do.

    My thoughts exactly as soon as I started taking the video.
