HANK! You don't have a time limit for videos, yet you only gave us THREE SECONDS OF PENGUINS RUNNING ABOUT BEING ADORABLE?!

I love how that Giraffe's expression is like "yeah I did get a selfie with Hank Green, what about it?"

It was a pleasure and an honor to share my favorite place and my best animal friends with you and the fam. ☺ Next time I'll make sure you meet the BEST giraffid, Sekele, and we'll check out all the cool primates!! John, the invitation is open to you as well.

So I guess the thing to remember about antivenom is that, if you have to receive it from a zoo, make note of which zoo you get it from, and then donate the cost of the antivenom to that zoo. I assume this is the proper move, because it seems not great for them to take a loss on saving your life.

When I was a zoo educator, I would use SciShow and Eons videos as resources and training materials! Thanks for contributing to conservation education!

Omg my cat loved those shoelaces! They were his favorite toy to play with (I bought them just for him, and after he died, I put them on a piece of embroidery I did with his name on it. He was my soul cat, and prolly the last cat I'll ever have).

So thank you for Pizzamas shoelaces! They were much loved and chewed on ❤

Lady vulture is really throwing as much shade as possible at himbo vulture and he tries so hard. 😭

My favourite fact I learned when I recently went to a zoo was the penguins have dual camouflage, which is why they’re both black and white. They have white tummies so that when they’re in the water if predators look up at them, they mix in with the light/water, and black backs, so that when predators look down at them, they mix in with the water/depths.

"we're everywhere, including a zoo... AT NIGHT!" I don't know why, but that made me spit out my drink laughing. Caught me off guard XD

[yoXneo]

"we're everywhere! Even at the zoo...at NIGHT! 😁🙌 Lmao love this

[rockstargirl]

That's where I work! I saw you as you were leaving and wanted to say hi but I didn't want to overwhelm you after what I'm sure was a long day. So cool to see all these animals I know in one of your videos! Thanks for your visit!
