    Posted this on the TV, Movies, etc. board, but got no replies, so trying here:

    There is a pharmaceutical TV ad for Xeljanz that focuses on an African Crested Porcupine and has some other zoo scenes. Am wondering if anyone recognizes the zoo where those scenes were shot?
    Xeljanz XR TV Commercial, 'Porcupine'

    It's the Saint Louis Zoo!!! The one part that is throwing me off is the porcupine--I didn't think we had an African Crested Porcupine, just a Mexican Hairy Porcupine. With that, I guarantee every other shot is from the St. Louis Zoo.

    Knowledge from living in St. Louis my whole life, and working at the zoo for the past 5 years :)

    Hope this helps!

    I knew someone here would recognize the zoo! The curiosity was killing me.
