First time I've made a thread in quite some time... how do I begin, again?...
To spruce up the variety of my YouTube Channel: Zoo Tours - I will be borrowing the idea from other popular channels to create Top 10/Top 5 Lists - Zoo edition. Similar to what Zoonation.org does, except these of course will be in video form. Other than to expand the popularity of my page, I hope these will further give non-zoo fanatics reasons to broaden their interest in these parks. To find an animal they've never heard of, or to see some of the world's most unique attractions. The list below is what will featured... so far. Whatever is labelled as incomplete, I'd love to hear what you believe belongs in that certain category. If you have any more "Top 10/Top 5" suggestions, I'd like to hear them as well, and I'll try my best to cover them. I'd like to note that almost all of these will only cover zoos in North America for the time being.
10 Rare Animals in U.S. Zoos & Where to Find Them (Ten animals that are somewhat well-known to the public (and some that need to be) but are only found in one or two zoos in the country. The list is completed)
Top 10 Zoo Oddities (Odd objects you'd find in zoos, or just odd exhibits in general. Nothing is on the list, but am hoping for some help on this one)
10 Unique Mixed U.S. Exhibits (Self-explanatory - List is incomplete, can work on this myself but it would be nice to hear a list that is boiled down to ten options)
10 Amazing Exhibit Transformations (Honestly, not necessarily "exhibit transformations" but rather "animals that received better homes after being in horrid conditions". Example, Dallas Zoo's Elephants. That is the only one I have so far)
10 Best U.S. Gorilla Exhibits (I have 9 so far)
5 Best U.S. Orangutan Exhibits (Complete)
10 Best Exhibits of Their Kind/Worst of Their Kind (Incomplete, the idea is too broad)
10 Modern Exhibits You’re Glad No Longer Exist (Incomplete - outdated exhibits that were only recently demolished/being revamped. Ex. Kansas City's Orangutan exhibit, Kovler Lion House, Fort Worth's hippo corner)
5 Unique Walk-Through Exhibits (Incomplete - I've got nothing so far)
5 Amazing Indoor Elephant Exhibits in the U.S. (Incomplete)
10 Largest Elephant Complexes in the U.S. (Complete)
Top 10 Best U.S. African Savannah Exhibits (Complete)
Top 5 Predator & Prey Concepts (Complete - Arctic Ring of Life, Columbus, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Bronx - but I am open to more suggestions)
10 Unexpected Animals in Aquariums (Incomplete - only have seven listed. Hippos, tiger, tiger again, long-tailed macaque, ocelot, clouded leopard, snow monkey.....)
10 Most Unique U.S. Zoo Exhibits (Incomplete - only Indy's Dolphin Dome and Sea Lion Sound are listed)
