- EPISODE 109
To kick off the NEW YEAR, I'm going as big as possible with the world class Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. So far we've toured their record breaking Desert Dome, and Lied Jungle attractions... so why not make it three record breakers in a row? The Scott Aquarium, one of the nation's few true major marine exhibits found in a zoo - covers 3/4 of an acre, takes you to the depths of the open oceans, Pacific, and Polar regions, and circulates over 1.2 million gallons. That officially declares it the Largest Zoo-Aquarium in America! This special episode is jam packed with everything you might expect to see at your city's local aquarium. Puffins, penguins, touch tanks, creatures of the Amazon, stingrays, sea turtles, elegant jellies, and a 450,000 gallon Shark infested display. Enjoy.

Sheeesh
Now that’s a lot of fish and sea birds and reptiles
I love that you give a full species list.
What a great video tour! I was a zoo docent for 13 years. Now housebound because of health issues, it’s a real blessing to get to experience tours by video. Thank you so much!
Getting to see the Henry Doorly zoo every couple years is one of my favorite things about living in Nebraska.
This aquarium is by far the best zoo aquarium I've ever seen. It would be a worthy paid attraction on its own. I always see zoos that call themselves "The _______ Zoo and Aquarium" but Omaha is the only one that I think deserves that type of title.
Wow it seems like your editing gets better with every video! This aquarium also looks amazing. Another reason to put Henry Doorly on my zoo bucket list.
I luckily live in the state where it’s in
@@MarcoHernandez-gi8bl same
As an Omaha native, I feel so blessed to have these amazing creatures near home. This place is amazing, can’t wait for a few new exhibits (I believe some were planned than got cancelled, right?)
@@TheRandomZooVisitor let’s hope they return someday
Andean Foothills was the only one that got officially cancelled (would have featured jaguars, Andean bears, wolves, pumas and other South American animals) and it sounds like that exhibit is getting replaced with an Alaskan exhibit (bears, lynx, sea otters were all mentioned by the zoos director) in the coming years. There is also plans to renovate the desert dome pavilion and replace the old cat house with something new. Omaha really is an incredible zoo!
@@insidethezoo5912 I didn’t know that. I would love to have all of these projects done!
Sorry I should have been more clear, they aren't renovating the Desert Dome itself, they are redoing the plaza at the front of it. Basically around where you enter the building they are redoing the paths, adding some new plants, and some new eating areas.
@@insidethezoo5912 I believe they already started that, and just didn’t finish. Thanks for the info tho, didn’t know that
This episode is truly amazing! You have really been stepping it up lately Zak, and it shows!
Zoove I Subscribed To You
@@Elephant-Puppet thanks!
Thank you for showing our zoo aquarium I live pretty close to it and go all the time
I’ve never been more interested in marine life until NOW!
Fairy blue penguin, miss those little guys, we use to visit them all the time when we would go!
I still miss this zoo after moving away, you did an awesome job capturing it with all these videos. Just wonderful.
Great video as always!
Very awesome! Keep up the great work Zak!
Loved this! Beautiful animals
Bonza!!! Just as I thought! Been there 2 or 3 times! And I think the African Penguins were displayed outside of the Scott Aquarium! Plus, which zoo are you visiting next for Episode 110? Also, try visit the Oakland Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Woodland Park Zoo, Sacramento Zoo, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Sacramento Zoo, & San Francisco Zoo sooner or later! Bubbling Deltadromeus!🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧 And also, 4 zoo trivia questions for you.....
1) What are the names of the 2 rescued, injured sea lions that are brought to the San Francisco Zoo?
2) What animal did the Lincoln Park Zoo used to house years ago?
3) Who was the famous polar bear that passed away from the SF Zoo back in 2016?
4) Which elephant from the Oakland Zoo passed away?
So relaxing
Cool!
This makes me want to go so badly!
You missed a green moray in the tank with the bonnet shark. He's my favorite fish in the aquarium.
The Moray missed me*
@@ZooTours he is my buddy i once called him Ezekieel and now every time my kids walk by they scream "daddy Ezekieel is out!"
Great ending with he bird .
A wobbegong is definitely a rare sight in aquaria.
The closest thing to me is Henry doing some clarity of us so we always go to henry Doorly zoo so so I am for granite presidents been there my entire life and peppers and I thought it was a small zoo in her watch this video and we’re gonna go there with my class turn off your days it’s next Monday and it’s so exciting
Ok that intro is new
This is my 3rd fav vid cuz an aquarium
I love the shark viewing at the Omaha zoo.The 2 sharks at my home zoo the Cleveland zoo got moved there
@@TheRandomZooVisitor ya it was dreadful to see
The answer is Little Blue Penguins
I want to go to this zoo / aquarium I love zoos and aquariums
Honestly this exhibit to this day, this exhibit is still hard to beat however despite being a zoo I do find it ironic that the best exhibits from the zoo are the aquatic ones which are the aquarium and the Sea Lion shores which honestly do it better than most aquariums in the country, nonetheless this is the best zoo aquarium and undoubtedly one of Henry Doorlys greatest achviments.
Will you eventually see zoos/aquariums in the Northeast? (Ie. The Bronx Zoo, Philadelphia Zoo, NY Aquarium, Turtleback Zoo,)
Please make video about St Augestine Alligator farm Zoological Park.
It’s so funny that my local SeaWorld San Diego’s penguin exhibit inspired so many others, because now it’s arguably the most dated exhibit at the park and looks preeeeetty rough lol. Hoping for an update soon on that and the Shark Encounter.
Not sure where you're coming from. Aside from the signage, Penguin Encounter is objectively the greatest attraction at SWSD - and a top three indoor Penguin exhibit in America.
@@ZooTours Oh don't get me wrong, I still generally love it. I live in Cali so I have a pass...the exhibit just seems to have gotten more and more deteriorated since I was a kid. The interior still looks alright but the glass is rarely clean and the signage is, as you mentioned, really dated. The walkway is also very old and slow, and not always working. It's still amazing in terms of diversity, especially the only Emperors in the US, but I think it could use a facelift. I was personally more impressed with Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin in Orlando, but I certainly don't just want a copy of that here in Cali. A nice little update to ours would be fine by me. Shark Encounter is much more in need of a full remodel/replacement. I'm a marine biologist by trade and SWSD inspired me as a kid, so I just would love to see it be as nice/receive as much attention overall as Orlando.
Clownfish Anemone Red
My guess for the answer at 0:19 : Flamingos. 😉
Home zoo
Love this zoo.Its worth the 12 hour d I’ve from my house.But all 3 times I’ve been there 2014, 2018,and 2021 the bottom half of the lies jungle has never been open for me
My man counted all these penguins we should respect him more
0:19 I say it’s Pelicans
🌊🐧🥰💕
