Leslie R @RT78297909 03/10/2025 Omg I just love this show!!! I hope they put up more seasons!! See more 10/27/2020 Gives a fantastic look at the "behind the scenes" work of running a zoo. See more 10/17/2020 I was sorely disappointed... Disney has so much more money behind them than any zoo. I LOVE the other secret of the zoos and such. I could only watch for about 10-15min before, well I couldn't take it anymore. I was expecting them to surpass the other shows. They didn't! They borrowed GoPro cameras from the film crew, animals weren't trained for health checks... seemed so off to me. Disney should be ashamed of how behind the curve they are... I was expecting them to be way ahead of the curve. I didn't watch long.... because I had expected more. I will never visit a Disney venue of any kind, animal kingdom was the only one I thought I might... never mind, I was wrong... The other zoo shows are great!!! Pls don't lump them all together!!!
