Tulsa Zoo: Thanksgiving 2006

I know it's a been a bit since I filmed this, but I got a new computer and decided to try out the new Windows Movie Maker. It's a LOT more easier to navigate. Sorry I don't know yet how to take out the background song and replace it with a regular song. Anyways, here's a bit of a commentary:

Polar Bear: The zoo got the polar bear from Denver on an exchange thing because Denver wanted an outcross for breeding so they sent us this polar bear in exchange for ours.

Peccaries: Yes, these are peccaries. Many people think they are razorbacks, but they aren't. There are 3 of them, and I don't know their names, but my mom and I decided to name them Peter, Paul, and Penelope.

Turtle: Okay, this thing is really freaky. It's called an Alligator Snapping Turtle and it lies at the bottom of the tank and acts like a rock and fish float in his mouth and he eats them. Usually he's just at the top of the tank not moving. Today he moved :D

Bird: Found this bird in the rainforest and it is actually him making that clicking sound. I accidentally quit recording after he flew onto my mom.

Mom and the Bird: The bird was on my mom's shoulder picking at her necklace and saw her earring and went for it. Later we found out that the birds in the rainforest have been known to steal diamond earrings and pearls.

Monkies: These are Diana Guanans (not sure on the spelling) and there is one that is a baby in there and we don't know his/her name so we called it Stevie. Well, my mom and I believe that Stevie has ADHD (more the hyperactivity part) as he jumps around really fast and doesn't stay in a place longer than 2 seconds. He's starting to grow up a bit and isn't as hyper as he used to be.

P.S. The reason why one of the tags is "Best Zoo In America" is because back a couple of years ago, Microsoft had a contest for the launching of Zoo Tycoon 2. They asked people what they thought the best zoo was and Tulsa won.

It was good to see the polar bear in your video. I went a couple of days ago and found out that he died this spring.

That's an extreamly large example of an alligator snapping turtle, I'll have to contact the zoo and find out just how large that turtle is. It seems like it might be about 140-170 pounds. The Audubon Zoo in New Orleans had one that must have been about 160+ They are so rare at that size. The largest out of 400 that I've caught was 105 pounds. All the large ones are gone unless you know some secret place where they still exist.
