    I've been to that zoo before, they're very impressive with how seriously they take environment conservation. Everything there is green certified and I did a VIP tour into their facility. It's so clean there, you could eat off the floor. They have a really nice setup and are extremely diligent about taking care of their animals, providing as close to a natural environment as possible, and educating the public about these amazing creatures. I even got to feed their anteaters! Definitely the best zoo I've ever been to, and it was extremely refreshing to see it compared to all of the crappy tourist zoos there are out in the world. I highly recommend it to anyone who finds themselves to be an animal lover while in Nashville.

    • @themotions5967
      @themotions5967 Před rokem

      Actually most nocturnal animals aren’t entirely nocturnal.
      As nocturnal is kind of a spectrum, it just means you spend a certain amount of your active time at night compared to during the day.
      But they aren’t spending too much time out during the day to be significant.
