I don't think you'd be surprised to hear that was in fact my inspiration.

Hey that's me, I'm the person who posted the 1973 zoo guidebook pictures on Zoochat! Great video, as always. You did a great job giving interesting information about the zoo, and even the specific animals and their names! Frankie the jaguar does still live at the zoo, but the marabou stork does not; our last one passed away in 2021

Thanks of sharing the guidebook! It helped me make this video more interesting, and thanks for sharing the info about Frankie and the storks.

Very detailed tour. I'm afraid that the Milwaukee zoo is better than some real city zoo

Oh wow Scruffy is still alive and well! Do you know how old he is now? I've been going to the Milwaukee County Zoo since 2003 and Scruffy used to be paired with another male named Grungie. So glad Scruffy is still kicking!

in my opinion for one of the best predator and prey set up’s is the Lion and open Savanna exhibits at my home town zoo which is the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

I love your tours! To answer your question, leopards are the fourth big cat that can roar. I also have three questions. 1. If you were to record anything at the Brookfield Zoo, which exhibits would you record and why? 2. If you were to do any bird-themed exhibits, which ones would you showcase and why? 3. What is your favorite North American exhibit and why?

1. Lots of great options at Brookfield, two I'd be tempted to do are Habitat Africa! The Forest because of the Pangolins, and Australia to show the Wombats and Echidnas. 2. The Aviaries as Toledo and Milwaukee are two bird themed exhibits I could do eventually. 3. Once again, I love Columbus's North America. The NEW Zoo in Wisconsin another zoo with a great North American collection, that I'm hoping to showcase someday.

@@JacobFiveash The Reptile Houses at Toledo or Detroit would be the most likely. Although at Detroit I'd be more likely to do Amphibiville first, since it's more unique as one of the only Amphibian only complexes.

@@DereksZooVideos0118 That’s great. I would also recommend visiting Zoo Atlanta someday. It’s a very easy zoo to film and it has a few rarities like the giant panda, bontebok, giant otter, drill, and sun bear. They also have an amazing reptile house, an amazing elephant exhibit, America’s largest gorilla complex and America’s largest orangutan troop.

The only photos I know of are from the 1973 guidebook posted on Zoochat, currently on the 4th page of the MKE Zoo Zoochat page. One photo shows tapir swimming with penguins. In the other I can make out Macaws, Tapir, Capybara, Llamas, Rheas, and Flamingos.
