Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden A Walk Through the Zoo

Here's Wings of the World. I apologize for the shakiness at the beginning. There were two women sitting on a bench when I passed and I didn't want it to be awkward if they saw me taking a video with them in it.

 

Wings of the World was much smaller than I expected but still a pretty good bird house.

I know what you mean. Without seeing it in person and just looking at photos you would think everything is spread apart. But all the exhibits are within at least 3 to 15 steps.

 

I wouldn't say that but it definitely isn't the largest in the world.

~Thylo

 

Well if you think about it, it's true.

 

Well you did say at least

Very very cool. I have only uploaded one test video to YouTube, and that was before people started asking if I had heard about a new website called YouTube. They certainly have come a long way.

I read a couple years ago that they bought an Irish company that was researching ways to autocorrect videos the way you can now with photos. Is there an option now for this?

 

Sorry for the late reply. Yes there are actually multiple options that change the quality and or lighting of your video. Or you can click "Auto-Fix" and it will change all that for you.

 

So any requests of what I should do next? I willdo Wildlife Canyon if Suci and Harry would come out.

 

Just do Wildlife Canyon early in the morning and then you'll definitely get both Suci and Harapan. I suggest going in through the entrance by Eagle Eyrie when you start the video so you leave the best for last!

I did at around 9 AM on Friday and both of wouldn't come out. I passed it 6 times and still didn't see them. Do you think I should do a Wildlife Canyon/Eagle Eyrie combo since they are 10 ft. from each other? Starting with Wildlife Canyon and loop back around to the top of the aviaries?

Here's what's left:
-Eagle Eyrie/Wildlife Canyon
-Monkey Island (Will reopen in late August)
-Lemur Lookout/Dragons!
-Rhino Reserve (I'm waiting for the new black rhino female to arrive)
-Lords of the Arctic/Bear Hill
-Jungle Trails (which will be hard to do because it is a large attraction)
-Children's Zoo
-Gibbon Islands/Red Pandas
-Swan Lake/Crane Island
-Discovery Forest
-Giraffe Ridge/Cheetah Encounter
-African Lion Exhibit
-Elephant Reserve

 

Why not!

Truthfully that reptile house isn't much different from most of the reptile houses that I have seen with many species stuffed in relatively small terrariums.

The Fresno Zoo has started replacing several of its smaller terrariums by combining them into larger enclosures. Maybe this is a model for the multiple facilities that cannot just knock down their old houses and wholly rebuild.

That Chinese alligator pool in the middle of the house is truly awful. I'm not sure what they are thinking there. They have 3 alligators crammed into the space the size of a hot tub.

 

I'm pretty sure it's more than just three and there are at least three turtles in there.

~Thylo

 

They have six or seven gators. I haven't seen one slider, nor a Florida snapper in a very long time. If that's a hot tub size, then that's one unusually large hot tub IMO.

 

There's only one Florida Snapper and one Alligator Snapper in there, right? If so, I saw both turtles though not the slider.

I looked to be a bit smaller than many hot tubs IMO.

~Thylo

 

Yes one of each snapping turtles. They used to have close to seven sliders last year.

 

I did see the Florida Snapper then. I actually think I did see one slider but I don't remember.

~Thylo

 

I would personally like to see Dragons!, Elephant Reserve, Discovery Forest, and the Jungle Trails.

 

You might be disappointed with Dragons! And I'm not sure of your expectations with Elephant Reserve and Discovery Forest. Jungle Trails is a very good exhibit.
