    This zoo has a terrible record with elephants; many of them born have died here because of disease transmission

    Very cool.....and now, after watching "Secrets of the Zoo" on the National Geographic Channel, I can see how invested you and your staff are in all of your animals! It takes a lot of dedication and commitment to keep them in good health ...and you can get emotionally attached, just like with a pet at home. Long hours of care, and life and death experiences, little things happening, like when one of these Shoebills comes up to you the first time, and bows his head in acceptance. Thank you for your hard work and for this video!

    "graphic images"? This world has become WAY too sensitive to some things, and not to others. We let kids kill 1000s of people in video games, but worry about showing them how mammals are born, take them to a farm!
