Hello,
This thread is regarding two separate YouTube videos of the Cleveland Zoo, both taken in 1996. You can see them here:
(Cleveland Zoo 1996)
(1996 Cleveland Zoo)
The 1996 Cleveland Zoo was already discussed on this thread, so I won't go much into it:
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo video, 1996 [United States]
As for the Cleveland Zoo 1996 video, it is pretty new, releasing on the 5th of February 2025. (The other video released seven years ago.)
Here is what the video includes.
The majority of the video is recorded in the Rainforest Section, showcasing:
A Clouded Leopard
François' Langurs
Bornean Orangutans
Some fish and turtles I can't make out due to the glare and camera quality
An Asian Water Monitor in what appears to be the current otter exhibit
Moving to the Lower Forest, the video shows:
A species of Vine Snake,
A tank, that might be the African Pond exhibit, that features Amazonian species, the only species I can read on the sign being Mata-Mata and Amazon River Turtles
a Reticulated Python, in the current Burmese Python exhibit
After the python, the video jumps to the African Savanna, where it shows:
Hamadryas Baboons, possibly in the former leopard exhibit
The Masai Giraffes, with White Storks seen behind them
Grants Zebras
After that, it shows the only Waterfowl Lake exhibit, showing
A Bald eagle in the birds of prey flight cages
Finally, the video ends at the Primate, Cat, and Aquatics area, showing
Aldabra Giant Tortoises, and
Western Lowland Gorillas, in their outdoor exhibit that would have been brand new in 1996.
Moving to the second video, it features,
Some sort of small primate,
Monkey Island,
The old Cheetah and Black Rhino mixed species exhibit
Masai Giraffes, Common Ostriches, and the mention of a white stork
Siberian Tiger
Grizzly Bear
Sloth Bear
More Grizzlies
Bactrian Camel
White Lipped Deer
Harbor Seal and California Sea Lion Pool
The Green House near the African Savanna (Including Butterflies)
Baby Spider Monkey
Sea Horses
Old shark tank, including groupers and Black Tipped Reef Shark
Several tanks in the Aquatics Hall
Squirrel Monkeys
Collared Lemur
Ring Tailed Lemur
Black and White Ruffed Lemur
some type of old-world monkey
Chimps
Gorillas
Clouded Leopards
Snow Leopard
Jaguar
Black Howler Monkeys
White Faced Sakis
Outdoor Gorillas Exhibit (again, pretty new in 1996)
Red Necked Wallabies (including white specimens)
Miniature Horse
Vietnamese Pot-Bellied Pigs
Barn Owl
Goats
Rabbits (Mentioned)
An exhibit for either Prairie Dogs or Meerkats
Malayan Tapirs
Pygmy Hippos
Nile Hippo
Warthogs
African Lion
The most unique thing about these videos is that they were shot only eight days apart from each other.
So, with both videos summarized, I can finally rest until inevitably another video comes out.
