I Explored the Most Ambitious Zoo Exhibit in the UK

This is Islands at Chester Zoo — one of the most ambitious zoo exhibits ever built. Spanning six Southeast Asian islands, we'll explore humid rainforests, rare species, cultural villages, some of the most impressive animal habitats I've ever seen in a zoo, and even the largest indoor zoo exhibit in the UK: the Monsoon Forest. Along the way we'll get up close with Sumatran Orangutans, Sumatran Tigers, Bali Mynas, Southern Cassowaries, and many more incredible species before ending our journey with a boat ride through the Islands themselves. 00:00 Intro 00:26 Arriving at Chester Zoo 00:46 Panay - The Journey Begins 03:13 Papua – Tree Kangaroos & Cassowaries 05:17 Bali – Temples & Rare Birds 7:24 Sumatra – Tigers & Rainforest Rarities 13:39 Monsoon Forest – The Largest Indoor Zoo Exhibit in the UK 19:37 Sulawesi – Macaques, Anoa & Babirusa 21:18 The Lazy River Boat Ride (Sumba) 23:09 Outro – Why This Exhibit Matters
