Well I didnt think that through. I ploughed through the youtube channel that this came from and there are more gems. There's the movie that
@Sarus Crane found on that same channel but even more.
A McDonald's add touting how cool they are at the zoo from 1974!
A segment on the "new" Marco Polo trail from 1991. You can quit watching at 3:30 in theres no more after that.
A 1995 promotion for the barbary apes. You will need to jack your volume up to hear it. They dont say anything interesting. Just brief description of the animals.
An ad for the 1988 Koala exhibit.
That sent me on a quest to find other videos of the zoo in the past on youtube.
This is a families day out in May 1990. You get a look at the old savannah. Get to see just how dark good old giraffe Cecil was. The calf with them is Panga (Ginetta and Cecils inbred son). He walks with Ginetta a little with Cecil chasing them. Little Panga looks dark like dad already. In the background is a rather round looking female. That is Heidi and she is pregnant with Twiga! How cool is that? You also get to see our recently departed Aldabara tortiose Rasputin. Edge of the Night throwback made me happy. The male Amur was our first Brum.
Another family video from 1995. When you see the snow leopards in the den its Katrina with her yearlings Juno, Normandy and Dimitri. I wish the twany frogmouth was in a good spot again so hes easy to see. Oh and boy to I miss mara. They are so weird. This video answered my coloration question about our old jaguars Diablo and Serena. Diablo was normal coloured and Serena was black. I don't know who the spider monkey baby is because my notes on Julie and Wally dont indicate an infant in 1995. I have Mittens in 1997. Guess I will do Spider monkeys for the trees soon. I loved watching Wally use his tail to pick dandelions. The baby mandrill is Sudi (Jabba and Annette's daughter) and shes playing with cousin Carter (Arthur and Tanya's son). Wow look at the old gorilla exhibit! The little ones roughhousing are Jomo and Sekani. Im not sure which female is behind them but I dont think its Samantha. Oh Josephine! The meerkat pups are Ren, Stumpy and Katherine. Im certain you see Stumpy because one of the pups tail looks like its missing a portion. The male patas monkey is Toledo and the mother with infant is Donna with son Poko. The warthogs were our first Gonzo and Roberta. The Sumatran tigers are Regnat and his brother Rakata. They were in their second year at the zoo. The orangs I think its Puppe (her head moves too fast) and that means the baby is likely Kartiko. Sadly he will die in that moat in 3 years time. Little shot of Dinding. Abigail has her grump on. Never see here with 3 year old Sekali. The one caring for her and playing with the hat and wrestling with her is big sis Ramai. This is the year the white lions visited! What were their names? Tandi, Kowla and Kenya. Kowla is the tawny. The hyenas were Woozle, Tigger and Rabbit. Can we get gemsbok back? I miss them. They are so striking. The Amur tigers are newly arrived Tonghua and Pam on likely a date that resulted in their first litter.
I only checked videos as late as 1995 just before the savannah reno.
Now that I have wasted a couple of hours on this back to that research I was doing.
